It would have been easy to make employee self-view a premium add-on — plenty of monitoring tools do exactly that, treating an employee’s own visibility into their own data as a nice-to-have rather than a default. We decided early on that this wasn’t a feature to sell separately.
The Reasoning
If a piece of data is fair enough for a manager to see, it should be fair enough for the employee it describes to see too. Gating that behind a pricing tier would mean some employees get transparency and others don’t, based entirely on what their employer chose to pay for — and that’s not a distinction we were willing to make.
Transparency isn’t a premium feature. It’s the thing that makes every other feature defensible.
What This Actually Means in Practice
- Every employee sees the same dashboard a manager would see for them
- Attendance, focus sessions, and idle time are visible to the person they’re about, on every plan
- Screenshot access, where enabled, extends to self-view too — nothing captured that the employee can’t also see
- No plan strips this away to hit a lower price point
The Trade-Off We Accepted
This does mean self-view isn’t a lever we can pull to make cheaper plans look more different from expensive ones. We think that’s the right trade — a monitoring platform that only some employees can see into isn’t a platform we’d want to use ourselves.
