The short version
Time Doctor is a strong tracker. Flowace gives you the same accuracy in one price, with support that answers.
One price for the everyday work product.
Tracking, screenshots, silent mode, insights, tasks, and reports are in the plan. Idle detection is included on every plan.
Support that answers fast.
A hands-on contact on each plan, not a 2-day email queue.
An agent that stays on.
Flowace restarts itself if someone force-quits it. Some Mac trackers do not.

The add-ons are where the price really lands
Time Doctor's Basic plan is $6.67. The detail most teams want costs extra on top.
- Automatic time capture, no manual entries
- 1-second activity logs, audit-ready
- Idle and jiggler detection included
- Keyboard and mouse activity %, included
- Project & task tracking with auto-timesheets
- Profit reports by project and person
- Bubble: one-click project classifier
- Live chat every plan; success manager on Premium+
- Agent that auto-restarts if force-quit
- Basic plan, $6.67/user/mo annual
- SSO
- Idle / jiggler detection
- Full keyboard & mouse detail
- Other detail add-ons
- Profit per project
- Bubble task classifier
- Dedicated support contact
- Auto-restart on Mac force-quit
Flowace has add-ons as well, and we would rather say so. Ours are IT extras: single sign-on, user provisioning, API access, extra screenshots, and shared-desk tracking. All five are already in the Premium plan. The daily tools are never behind an add-on.
Why teams move
The four moments teams start evaluating alternatives
Drawn from the migrations we've run.
Basic covers less than you expect
- You pick Basic for the price
- Then SSO turns out to cost extra
- So do idle detection and full input detail
With Flowace:
All three are in the plan.
Support takes days when you need hours
- Email runs about two days
- A live contact takes three to four days
- No one is assigned to your account unless you are on the Premium plan
With Flowace:
A named contact on every plan, whatever your team size.
On Mac, tracking can stop without a word
- The app can be force-quit from the menu bar
- No admin alert, no restart
- Your record has a hole in it
With Flowace:
It restarts on its own, Mac included.
The quote climbs after you sign
- Basic looks cheap next to a premium tier
- Add what you actually need and the number moves
- Premium is $16.70 against Flowace at $6.98
With Flowace:
One price, so the budget and the invoice match.
