Headx is India-priced, offers on-premise, focuses on office and remote desk teams, comparable monitoring breadth, 30-day money-back guarantee. Versus ActivTrak: ActivTrak is strong on behaviour analytics but US-only pricing and SaaS-only. Headx matches the analytics, adds on-premise option, includes DLP and remote desktop at no extra tier, and prices in INR. Versus Teramind: Teramind is enterprise-priced and complex. Headx provides 80 percent of Teramind's enterprise feature set at one-third the cost, with simpler deployment. Versus EmpMonitor: Both India-based, comparable feature sets. Headx differentiates with on-premise option, transparent per-PC pricing without seat-band games, and stronger UEBA. ## Compliance and legal Headx implements the consent and notice requirements of the Indian IT Act 2000 and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules 2011. Templates for employee consent forms and acceptable-use policies are provided. The system tray icon and first-run consent prompt ensure employees are informed monitoring is active. Data retention is configurable per company. ## Buying and deployment Self-serve sign-up at https://headx.in/register.
