Frequently asked questions
What does ActivTrak actually measure?
ActivTrak captures behavioral work signals across people, applications, AI tools, meetings and workflows, then reports on productivity, utilization, capacity, workload balance and technology investment. It is positioned around four outcomes: AI optimization, productivity optimization, workflow optimization and workforce optimization.
How long does implementation take?
ActivTrak says customers can be up and running in minutes, and it provides an onboarding team plus Academy training. Expect a short pilot to configure privacy controls, alarms and reporting before a full rollout, with the longest effort spent on policy and employee-communication decisions rather than technical setup.
How is ActivTrak priced?
There is a free plan and quote-based paid workforce plans priced per worker, with multi-year and volume discounts available. AI Insights is an add-on at +$4 per worker per month, and Screen Details screenshots are an optional add-on purchase. A paid support plan is required for any purchase of more than 50 licenses.
Does employee monitoring create privacy or compliance risk?
ActivTrak markets privacy by design: data privacy by default, privacy-first analytics that excludes non-business and sensitive activity, configurable anonymization, role-based access, private personal insights and screenshots that are off unless the optional add-on is bought. It states support for GDPR, CCPA and HIPAA compliance programs and holds SOC 2 Type 1 and 2.
What support is included?
Digital Support is included with all plans and provides 24x7 Help Center and Academy access plus weekday email and chat support. Premier Support adds extended coverage and faster email response, and Signature Support adds 24x7 live chat, priority routing and a technical account manager for enterprise rollouts.
How does ActivTrak handle AI features and data governance?
AI Insights is a paid add-on covering AI adoption, benchmarking, productivity impact, cost optimization and AI governance and compliance, and the platform tracks usage of tools such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. The sources reviewed do not state which models power ActivTrak itself or whether customer data is used to train models.
