Track work. Not people.
Hubstaff screenshots your team's screens every few minutes. It tracks mouse movement and GPS location. Some teams need that. Most Indian IT firms and agencies don't - and their engineers resent it. Workclave is built on trust: sessions are intentional, not surveilled.

What teams say when they switch from Hubstaff
Engineers pushed back hard on screenshot monitoring and attrition started to rise. They needed accountability without surveillance.
Workclave replaced passive tracking with explicit session starts and manager approval, restoring trust while keeping reporting intact.
Hubstaff gave activity data but no India compliance exports. Payroll month-end still involved manual reconciliation.
With Workclave, they got Labour Code-friendly outputs and cleaner handoff from approved sessions to payroll processing.
