Kickidler alternative questions
What is a good Kickidler alternative?
It depends on what you need from the tool. If you want all features in a plan, including live screen monitoring, attendance and productivity insights, run as a cloud service, Mera Work is worth a look. If you need screen video recording, audio recording, remote access or a version you install on your own servers, Kickidler covers more of that.
Is Kickidler the same as KeepActive?
Kickidler's own website now presents the product as KeepActive, previously Kickidler. This page uses the Kickidler name because many people still search for it.
Is Mera Work cheaper than Kickidler?
Mera Work is $3 per user per month billed yearly or $4 month to month, with the full feature set included. Kickidler publishes $4.17 (Time Tracking) and $5.50 (Employee Monitoring) per user per month on a one year licence, and $7 and $9.99 on a one month licence. Its three year licences work out lower, at $2.78 and $3.67 per user per month. The calculator above shows the difference for your team size.
Does Mera Work log keystrokes?
