Webwork Tracker vs Timely

Feel Helena’s pain? You’re not alone. Almost every time tracking app currently on the market shares WebWork Tracker’s essential design flaw: manual timer input.

Constantly starting and stopping timers is an unnatural and inefficient way to track time — particularly if you regularly hop between projects or responsibilities. You only log the activities you remember working on, leading to incomplete timesheets . This subjectivity itself breeds striking inaccuracy — even if you remember to log your hours every day, studies show that timesheets that rely on manual input are only ever 67% accurate.

WebWork Tracker is also notorious for its flagrant violation of employee privacy . It gives managers the ability to take screenshots of employee screens, monitor keystrokes and mouse clicks, and see all employee website and app activity.  Proudly marketing its employee monitoring features to “control your employees”, it pedals a dangerous time tracking model built around employee distrust.

In this context, WebWork tracker’s seven-day free plan matters relatively little. Ultimately, a robust time tracking solution should satisfy a very basic purpose: capturing hours accurately without destroying team trust and culture.
