Data-loss prevention
Detect and block file exfiltration, USB copies, and risky transfers in real time. Fruitful does not do DLP at all.
Surveillance vs analytics
Different category, honestly
Teramind records everything. Fruitful draws a line.
Teramind is a surveillance and data-loss-prevention platform — keystrokes, clipboard, email content, file transfers, and the power to block. Fruitful is transparent productivity analytics that deliberately refuses to collect most of that. These are two different tools for two different jobs.

That list is, near enough, Teramind’s feature set. The difference between the two products is this boundary.
The line
What each tool actually captures.
Teramind is built to see as much as possible — that is the point of a DLP and insider-threat tool. Fruitful is built to see only what tells a manager how work is going. Same screen, very different reach.

Two different jobs
Decide what problem you’re actually solving.
Teramind’s job
Catch insider threats and stop data loss.
If your problem is a regulated environment where someone might exfiltrate data, leak a document, or breach policy — and you need to detect, score, and block it — that is exactly what Teramind is built for. Security teams in finance, healthcare, and government buy it for that reason.
Fruitful’s job
Show managers how work is actually going.
If your problem is understanding productivity, billing clients accurately, and running attendance for a desk team — without turning the workplace into a surveillance operation — that is Fruitful. Transparent by default, no keylogging, no blocking.
Where they overlap
A thin middle ground.
Both watch the screen and track time. Past that, they diverge fast.

If your team isn’t a threat
Four reasons to choose analytics over surveillance.
01 · trust
Fruitful
Transparent by default, no keylogging.
Employees see the same dashboard their manager sees and acknowledge a consent screen before any capture. We never log keystrokes — activity is event frequency, not what was typed. Stealth mode requires a signed legal acknowledgement.
I understand and consent to the monitoring described above.
02 · adoption
Fruitful
Teams keep it on because it doesn’t feel hostile.
Surveillance-grade tools breed workarounds and resentment. A transparent analytics tool that doesn’t read your clipboard or block your USB is one a team tolerates — which is what makes the data trustworthy in the first place.

AI answers with the rows attached.
Ask in plain English. Math runs in the database, never in the model, and every answer ends with the labelled rows behind it — quoteable in a meeting, drillable afterward.

Fruitful
Billing + roles + audit, not a security console.
Bill clients from the same timesheets (Stripe globally + Razorpay for India), build custom roles from a flat permission list, and keep an append-only audit log of every privileged change. Built for running a team, not policing one.

Where Teramind wins
When Teramind is flatly the right tool.
These are not gaps we plan to close — they are a different product category. If you need any of them, buy Teramind. Fruitful is the wrong tool and we will tell you so.
Insider-threat + UEBA
Behavioural risk scoring, anomaly detection, and alerting on suspicious user activity. Outside Fruitful’s scope entirely.
Action blocking
Policy rules that actively block websites, apps, USB devices, or actions. Fruitful only observes — it never blocks.
Forensic capture
Keystroke logs, clipboard, email + IM bodies, and screen OCR for investigations. Fruitful refuses to collect all of these by design.
Regulated-industry depth
Compliance tooling built for finance, healthcare, and government security teams. Fruitful is built for productivity, not security operations.
Pricing in one line
Fruitful starts at $6.99 / seat / month on Standard ($69.99 / seat / year if billed annually). DLP and insider-threat platforms like Teramind typically price higher for the security tooling — compare on what you actually need, not on seat price alone.
The honest questions
What teams ask when weighing these two.
Can Fruitful do DLP or block data exfiltration?
No, and we have no plans to. Fruitful is productivity analytics, not a security or data-loss-prevention platform. If detecting and blocking exfiltration is your goal, Teramind is the right tool — buy it.
Does Fruitful log keystrokes like Teramind?
Never. Activity percentage is the frequency of keyboard and mouse events — not what was typed. We also never capture clipboard, email bodies, file contents, or screen OCR. That boundary is the core of the product.
We are in a regulated industry. Which one fits?
If your driver is security compliance — insider threat, DLP, forensic capture — that is Teramind’s world. If your driver is workforce productivity and client billing with an auditable trail of administrative actions, Fruitful fits. Some large orgs run a security tool and a productivity tool separately, for exactly this reason.
Can Fruitful block a website or USB device?
No. Fruitful observes and reports; it never blocks or enforces. If you need active blocking, that is a security-tool capability Teramind has and we deliberately do not.
Is the AI looking at sensitive content?
No. The AI sees aggregated activity, attendance, app-usage, project, and time-entry data — never raw screenshots, keystrokes, message contents, or payment data. Manager queries are scoped to their assigned team server-side.
If you want analytics, not surveillance
Try the tool that draws a line. No card, no keylogging.
Run a desk team on Fruitful for 14 days, transparent mode on. If what you actually need is data-loss prevention or insider-threat detection, go buy Teramind — genuinely the right call for that job.
