Never tried any of these. I heard that upwork requires you to install tracker which captures screen every few mins. How about the others?

Which one is the best in your opinion?

Generally speaking, most of such platforms allow either fixed-price or hourly jobs to be posted and carried out. In case of hourly jobs, some sort of time-tracking mechanism would obviously have to be in place. Not sure about Upwork (haven't landed any job there) but Freelancer does have an app. (Haven't used it because my workstation is CentOS and the linux version of their app is broken.)

In my experience, Freelancer.com and PeoplePerHour.com are the top runners. While the quality of buyers on PPH is noticeably better (mostly from UK/Western Europe/North America/Australia), the deal-flow volume at Freelancer is much higher. HTH and all the best.
