The Time Champ alternative: DeskTime

Don’t just track hours. Understand how your team spends their workday with DeskTime.

What is Time Champ?

Time Champ is an employee monitoring software that focuses on in-depth observation and accurate timesheet creation. It’s best for dispersed teams that require some extra supervision and surveillance.

Why look for a Time Champ alternative?

With features like live screen views, audio tracking, and location activity tracking, the product's extensive employee surveillance capabilities aren't just intrusive; they also make it significantly harder to manage, especially for larger teams.

While Time Champ offers solid employee monitoring and surveillance functions, it could be considered outdated for a modern workplace. Consider DeskTime as a more up-to-date alternative.
