Hubstaff vs Apploye: 90% people choose wrong

Apploye Inc.

Oct 13, 2026

For a 10-person team, Apploye costs $540 a year and Hubstaff Team costs $1,200. Count Apploye's free owner seat and Hubstaff's Insights add-on after its 90-day trial, and the gap is $1,014 a year. Here is Hubstaff vs Apploye side by side: pricing, the plan most people compare by mistake, daily use, and where Hubstaff is the better buy.

Made by the Apploye team. We have tried to keep it fair: every Hubstaff price is from Hubstaff's own pricing page and support docs (linked below), and if you manage field teams that need GPS or geofencing, we tell you to buy Hubstaff.
