  • Each has a real cost: Kumospace reporting from late 2025 described the team as having shrunk to roughly eleven people with the chief executive publicly listed as leading a separate company, so continuity is a genuine question and should be checked before a multi-year commitment.; Time Doctor specific plan prices not published on pricing page, must contact sales
  • They diverge on capability: Kumospace covers Proximity audio and video, Time Doctor covers Time tracking with timer.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Kumospace

  • Reporting from late 2025 described the team as having shrunk to roughly eleven people with the chief executive publicly listed as leading a separate company, so continuity is a genuine question and should be checked before a multi-year commitment.
  • Product development has visibly slowed against the category; capabilities that rivals now treat as standard, such as an AI note taker and asynchronous video, are absent.
  • Leaving a spatial office open all day means continuous audio and video connections, which is heavier on laptop battery and bandwidth than an occasional call and is a real complaint from users on poor connections.
  • The free tier caps at five registered members, which is below the size at which a spatial office starts to be useful, so evaluating it properly requires paying.
  • Adoption is behavioural, not technical: teams that do not build a habit of being present in the space get nothing from it, and the licence quietly becomes an unused cost that shows up at renewal.

Time Doctor

  • Specific plan prices not published on pricing page, must contact sales
  • Software Cost Insights add-on costs $3 per user per month
  • Historical data retention limited to 3 months on Basic tier
  • No pricing transparency for video recording and benchmarks add-ons
