In their own words
eMonitor
eMonitor provides workforce insights into productivity, attendance, application use, and compliance through consent-based monitoring. It tracks work time, breaks, overtime, clock-ins and outs, absences, and shifts; productivity scores use application activity and active time with customizable categories. Screenshot capture can be scheduled, blurred for sensitive content, and restricted by role. Dashboards, scheduled reports, custom dashboard building, and real-time alerts help teams review activity. The maker says employees are notified before monitoring begins, can see their own data, and are monitored on work devices during working hours. The agent can be deployed to Windows, macOS, Linux, or Chromebook devices. The service is cloud-hosted by default; Professional and Enterprise offer US, EU, and India data residency, while on-prem deployment is available for Enterprise customers with specific compliance requirements. There is no free plan, but a 7-day trial is listed. Starter starts at $3.90 a month billed annually. The maker says eMonitor is not designed for deskless workforces without computers or as a dedicated forensic data-loss-prevention platform.
