Why teams move

The four moments teams start evaluating alternatives

Drawn from the migrations we've run. If one sounds familiar, you know how it ends.

The Basic plan turns out to be an overview

  • You pick Basic for the price, then find SSO is an add-on.
  • So are idle detection and full keyboard and mouse detail.
  • The detail you wanted is behind extra line items.

With Flowace:
each of those is included in the plan. The price you see is the price you pay.

Support takes days when a deal is live

  • Time Doctor support is self-serve and ticket-based.
  • Email runs about 2 days, a live contact 3 to 4 days, with no assigned rep.

With Flowace:
a hands-on support contact on each plan, no matter your team size.

On a Mac, the agent can be quit with nothing flagged

  • On Mac, the app can be force-quit from the menu bar.
  • There is no admin alert and no auto-restart, so tracking can stop unnoticed.

With Flowace:
Flowace restarts automatically after a force-quit, including on Mac.

The quote climbs past where it started

  • Basic looks affordable next to Flowace's premium tier.
  • Add the features you actually need and the total moves higher.

With Flowace:
one all-inclusive price, so the budget and the invoice match.
