KnowIT gives you the monitoring, DLP, and threat detection capabilities of Teramind — at a fraction of the cost, with no license minimums, and a free plan to get started today.
Teramind requires a minimum of 5 licenses on every plan. A 2-person team pays for 5. KnowIT has no minimums — pay only for what you need.
Regex-based rules, dynamic risk scoring, and data fingerprinting require IT expertise to configure. KnowIT was designed for business owners and managers.
Teramind has no mobile monitoring at all. KnowIT covers Android call recording, SMS, IM, email, and full MDM features for teams with mobile employees.
Teramind's platform is built around continuous video recording. It's powerful, but resource-intensive — and most SMBs don't have the staff to review hours of footage. KnowIT gives you the same visibility through screenshots, alerts, and activity logs.
A core part of Teramind's feature set is continuous screen recording. For large enterprises with dedicated security teams, it can be useful. But for most SMBs, it creates more problems than it solves.
KnowIT achieves the same practical outcomes — flagging risky behavior, documenting policy violations, and giving you visibility into how your team works — through screenshots, real-time alerts, and structured activity logs. No hours of footage to store or review.
If your team uses Android devices — whether remote workers, field teams, or a BYOD policy — KnowIT is the only platform in this category with real mobile coverage.
Yes. KnowIT offers a forever-free plan that includes website tracking, website and application blocking, application usage tracking, and application inventory. Unlike Teramind, which has no free tier, KnowIT's free plan has no time limit and no credit card required.
KnowIT is both the cheapest and most capable alternative for most businesses. Its free tier costs nothing, and its most affordable paid plan starts at $14.99/user/month with no minimum license requirement. Teramind's minimum cost is $75/month (5 licenses × $15).
KnowIT covers the vast majority of features SMBs use in Teramind, including employee monitoring, productivity tracking, DLP, insider threat detection, and compliance support. Teramind has some enterprise-specific features KnowIT doesn't — such as continuous video recording and data fingerprinting — but KnowIT also has features Teramind lacks entirely, particularly in mobile device monitoring.
Yes. KnowIT supports full MDM features, Android call recording, SMS monitoring, IM and email monitoring on mobile, and media capture. Teramind offers no mobile device monitoring capabilities at all.
Yes — it was designed specifically for small and midsize businesses. There's no minimum license requirement, no IT expertise needed to set it up, and a free tier to get started. KnowIT also provides remote installation and key operator training if required.
For most SMBs, continuous video recording creates more overhead than value — it's resource-intensive and generates footage most teams don't have time to review. KnowIT achieves the same practical outcomes through screenshots, alerts, and activity logs, giving you the visibility you need without the complexity.
