Subscription plan limits
The Free, Starter, and Grow plans have usage limits on some features. Use the sections below to see what each limit is and how it’s calculated.
What are the Apps, URLs and Screenshots limits for my plan?
App and URL limits
App and URL tracking has a combined monthly limit on the following plans:
- Starter: 500 per seat per month
- Grow: 1,500 per seat per month
Hubstaff records app and URL activity in 10-minute intervals. Repeated activity for the same app or URL within the same 10-minute interval is counted once. Activity during a different 10-minute interval counts separately. The monthly limit is calculated for each member across the calendar month.
For example, if a member uses Outlook multiple times within the same 10-minute interval, it counts once toward the limit. If they use Outlook during 10 different 10-minute intervals, it counts 10 times toward the limit.
Screenshots
Screenshots have a monthly limit on the following plans:
- Free: 100 per seat per month
- Starter: 500 per seat per month
- Grow: 1,500 per seat per month
The screenshot limit is calculated for each member across the calendar month. Hubstaff calculates each member’s screenshot total once per day and doesn’t recalculate past days.
How do I remove my plan’s limits?
To remove the app, URL and screenshot limits on the Starter and Grow plans, upgrade to the Team plan or above.
If you only need more screenshots, you can subscribe to the More Screenshots Add-on instead. The add-on increases your screenshot limit only. App and URL limits stay the same.
What other limits apply to my plan?
- To-dos. The Free and Starter plans include up to 500 to-dos. The Grow plan includes up to 1,500.
- Clients. The Free plan includes up to 3 clients and the Starter plan up to 5. The Grow plan has no client limit.
- Payments and payroll. Payments are limited on the Free, Starter, and Grow plans. Full payroll and payments are available on the Team plan and above.
- Integrations. The Grow plan supports 1 integration.
- Scheduled reports. The Free plan doesn’t include scheduled reports.
- Organizations on the Free plan. You can have only one organization on the Free plan per Hubstaff account.
- Locations Add-on on older Premium plans. Your organization may have used location features on an older Premium plan. If so, the Locations Add-on was selected by default when you moved to your new plan. You can remove it at any time.
