What separates Teramind's tiers?

Security depth. Starter covers activity monitoring and basic productivity. UAM adds user activity monitoring depth including session recording and OCR. DLP adds data loss prevention, content-based rules, and regulatory compliance features.

Is Teramind employee monitoring or security software?

Security software that includes employee monitoring. Its centre of gravity is insider risk, data exfiltration, and compliance audit, which is why it captures keystrokes, records sessions, and applies content rules. That is a different product category from workforce visibility.

Does Teramind record keystrokes?

Yes, keystroke logging is a core capability along with session recording and optical character recognition of screen content. For forensic and regulatory use cases that depth is the point. Insight by Hyring never captures keystroke content at any tier, by permanent design.

When is Teramind the right choice?

When a security or compliance function has a genuine mandate: regulated industry requirements, insider threat programmes, or handling of material non-public information. In those situations forensic capture is the requirement and lighter tools are inadequate.

How does Insight by Hyring compare on price?

Insight by Hyring Pro is $7 per user per month under the founding offer against $14 list, roughly half Teramind's typical entry point. The products are not substitutes though, so price is the least useful axis of comparison here.

Can Teramind answer operational questions?

It can produce the data, but answering why delivery slipped or who is overloaded requires interpretation the product does not provide, and it arrives wrapped in forensic capability that changes how a team relates to being measured.

Some organisations do, with security running Teramind on a defined population under a compliance mandate and operations running a lighter tool across the wider team. That is cleaner than stretching either product across both jobs.

Teramind Pricing

Teramind is security software that also tracks time. The pricing question matters less than a prior one: which department asked for this, because that determines whether it is the right purchase at all.

Starter

Activity and productivity

UAM

Session replay and OCR

DLP

Content rules and compliance

Deployment

Cloud or on-premise

Direct answer

Teramind prices per user per month across Starter, UAM, and DLP tiers, typically from around $12 to $30 depending on tier, deployment model, and commitment.

It is security software that includes employee monitoring, with keystroke logging, session recording, and data loss prevention as core capabilities. That makes it the right product for insider risk and compliance mandates, and the wrong one for understanding why a team is behind schedule.

Which Department Asked

The single question that determines whether Teramind is the right purchase.

Two different mandates, two different products

Who asked for this, and what they actually need

Security asked

Insider risk, data exfiltration, regulatory audit trail

Needs

Keystroke capture, DLP, session replay, forensic evidence

Operations asked

Why is delivery slow? Who is overloaded? Where did the time go?

Needs

Capacity signals, patterns, answers a manager can act on

Buying the top-row product to answer a bottom-row question is the most common and most damaging mistake in this category. It arrives with forensic capability nobody needed, a rollout the team experiences as an accusation, and a data pile that still does not tell you why the sprint slipped.

If a security or compliance function asked for this, with a real mandate behind it, Teramind is a serious and capable product and the depth it offers is the reason to buy it. Regulated industries, insider threat programmes, and organisations handling material non-public information need forensic capability, and lighter tools genuinely cannot substitute.

If an operations leader asked because delivery is slow or a team seems stretched, this is the wrong instrument. You will acquire keystroke logging you did not need, a rollout your team experiences as an accusation, and a volume of forensic data that still does not answer why the sprint slipped. The capability is not the problem. The mismatch between the capability and the question is.

The Tier Structure

Three tiers gated on security depth rather than workforce features.

Teramind tiers

Tier	What it adds	Typical buyer
Starter	Activity monitoring, basic productivity reporting	Evaluating, or lighter oversight need
UAM	Session recording, OCR of screen content, deeper capture	Insider threat programmes
DLP	Content-based rules, data loss prevention, compliance reporting	Regulated industries, audit mandates

Deployment model matters as much as tier here. On-premise options exist alongside cloud, which is often a requirement in the environments where this product genuinely belongs, and it affects total cost considerably.

How Deep Capture Goes

A spectrum from timekeeping to forensics, and where each product deliberately stops.

Depth of capture, and what each layer implies

The spectrum from timekeeping to forensics

Hours only
Activity levels
Applications and URLs
Screenshots
Video session replay
Keystroke content and DLP

Insight by Hyring stops deliberately at the third band and makes screenshots optional. Teramind operates at the far end, which is appropriate for security work and rarely appropriate for understanding a team's workload.

Every band on that chart is legitimate for some purpose. The question is which purpose you have. Insight by Hyring stops at applications and URLs and makes screenshots optional, because everything beyond that answers security questions rather than capacity questions, and carries a cost in trust that operational teams cannot afford to pay.

FACT

Insight by Hyring never captures keystroke content, at any tier, under any configuration. This is a permanent product decision rather than a feature we have not built yet. Keystroke capture records passwords, private messages, and medical searches typed into a work machine, and very few organisations outside a genuine security mandate can justify holding that.

When Teramind Is Right

Three situations where it is the correct purchase and we would say so.

A regulated industry with audit obligations. Financial services, healthcare, and defence contexts frequently require capture depth that workforce tools do not provide.
An active insider threat programme. If your security function is managing exfiltration risk with a defined population and legal sign-off, forensic capability is the requirement.
Investigation of a specific incident. Session replay and content rules exist for exactly this, and no lighter product substitutes.

In all three the buyer is security, the population is defined, and the legal basis is documented. Those conditions are what make the capture proportionate.

Head to Head

Different products for different questions, at very different prices.

Desktop companion

A floating avatar that reads the day and speaks to the employee before any manager sees it. Offers a sprint, checks in on suspicious perfection, celebrates a good run.

Shared focus music rooms

Teams listen in sync across curated channels, with room presence showing who is deep in work. No competitor in this category has built this.

Wellbeing reminders

Water, stretch, the 20-20-20 eye rule, end-of-day wind-down, and custom prompts, with notifications muted during focus sessions.

Insight by Hyring is the only product here connected to a hiring platform, so work data flows into people decisions and into the next hire. No standalone tracker can close that loop.

Pricing

Pro at $7 per user per month, Enterprise at $14, frozen for the life of the subscription.

FACT

Pro is $7 per user per month and Enterprise is $14, under the founding offer for the first 7,000 companies. List prices are $14 and $21. Your rate is frozen for as long as the subscription stays active, not for the first year. Before that, 30 days free with every Pro feature, unlimited users, and no credit card.
