Trakkar suits agencies that want time tracking, attendance, a client portal and GST invoicing on a single plan. DeskTime may suit you better if you mainly want productivity analytics and don't need invoicing or leave approvals.

Does Trakkar include screenshot monitoring like DeskTime?

Both tools can capture screenshots (on DeskTime, that's the Premium plan). In Trakkar, screenshots and app and website usage are optional, run on the desktop app only (Windows and macOS), and are set per person. They're included in Premium at ₹120/user/month + GST, along with GST invoicing and leave management.

Trakkar is built for agencies and client-service teams. Your team tracks time against projects on the desktop app, and idle time can be left out of the count with one setting. You send GST invoices and quotations with one GST rate per invoice, picked from your saved rates. Attendance, leave and projects sit alongside. If you're weighing a DeskTime alternative, the main reasons to look at Trakkar are the INR price, leave approvals, GST invoicing and a project margins view. Screenshots are optional, desktop only, and set per person.
