Time Champ is employee monitoring software first. It lists screenshots, screen recording, live screens, keystroke logging, audio tracking, silent tracking and data loss prevention, and it is the deeper tool if monitoring is the main job. Trakkar is time tracking, attendance and project software for Indian service businesses that bill clients for their team's time. Screenshots and app/URL tracking run in the Windows and macOS desktop app and are on by default; admins can turn each off for any person. If you need deep monitoring or security controls, choose Time Champ. If you want attendance, tracked hours, project margins and GST invoices for clients, Trakkar is built for that, at ₹120 per user per month plus GST.

If you need any of the Time Champ features above, Time Champ is the better fit.
Screenshots, app logs, keystrokes, audio and location tied to a named employee are personal data. India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 applies to them. Before any monitoring starts, in any tool, read our guide to the DPDP Act and employee monitoring in India, write a monitoring policy and tell staff what you collect. Silent or invisible tracking needs particular care, since staff may not know it is running.
Time Champ marks attendance automatically. Every plan lists automatic attendance and auto login/logout, Starter has a single shift and Professional adds multiple shifts (pricing). Its automatic attendance page says it can use geofencing, time rules or device recognition. Field staff tracking, with live location and geofence time tracking, is an add-on. Leave policies are described on its HR page.
