Timerfly vs Time Doctor

Time Doctor alternative for Indian teams

For Indian companies of 5–200 people at computers: IT services, BPOs, CA firms and agencies. Why teams switch:

Rupee pricing, a GST invoice and UPI autopay
Night shifts counted as one working day
A monthly attendance Excel for payroll
Attendance marked by itself, no register
No keylogging: what’s typed is never recorded
Screenshots optional, and they can be blurred

Both track work from your team’s computers. Timerfly puts attendance and app tracking on every plan, keeps your whole history and sends alerts to your team chat.

Your whole history, on every plan

Timerfly keeps time, apps and websites for as long as you have it. On Time Doctor, Basic keeps 3 months and Standard 6.

People know when they’re recorded

The day starts with a notification, breaks and private time pause it, and everyone sees their own day. No silent app that can’t be paused.

Alerts in your team chat, and UPI

Late, idle or a long break in Telegram, Slack, Teams or Google Chat within a minute. Priced in rupees and paid by UPI.

Where Time Doctor is ahead

If you need one of these today, Time Doctor may suit you better.

Longer screenshot and data history on Premium. Time Doctor Premium keeps data for 2 years. Timerfly keeps screenshots up to 6 months (Business), though time, apps and websites are kept in full.
Video screen recording. Time Doctor can record video on Premium. Timerfly takes still screenshots only.
More platforms and integrations. Time Doctor runs on Linux and ChromeOS too, with 60+ integrations. Timerfly tracks from Windows and Mac, with an API, webhooks and Zapier / Make / n8n.
Track record. Time Doctor has been around for years, with thousands of reviews. Timerfly is new.

Switching from Time Doctor is easy

You can be set up the same day, and run both side by side during the 14-day trial if you like.

Install the desktop app

A small app for Windows and Mac (Apple silicon). Each person installs it and signs in, and their time is recorded from that day.

Invite your team

Add people by email and set work hours or shifts once (or bring the rota in from Excel). Late, left early and absent are marked from day one.

Keep your payroll tool

Timerfly doesn’t replace Keka, greytHR or Tally. On Pro and up, download the monthly attendance Excel and use it with the payroll software you already have.
