Time Doctor vs WebWork

Time Doctor

• Distributed and outsourced teams that need verifiable records of hours
• Managers who want web and app usage reports with productivity ratings
• Companies preparing payroll from tracked time and attendance

WebWork

• Remote teams whose managers want screenshots and activity levels with tracked time
• Companies that pay staff or contractors from tracked hours
• Teams that want time tracking, tasks and chat in one workspace

Time Doctor

• The pricing page lists no free plan; a paid plan follows the 14-day trial.
• Tracking history is kept for 3 months on Basic and 6 months on Standard; 2 years needs Premium.
• The mobile apps record work hours but do not capture screenshots, apps or other phone activity.
• Time cannot be tracked in the web app itself, and the Linux desktop app supports Ubuntu on Xorg only.

WebWork

• There is no free plan: the pricing FAQ says WebWork is not free forever, and the workspace owner's seat is paid like any other.
• Pro allows 1 active integration, keeps screenshots for 3 months and chat history for 30 days.
• Only the desktop app takes screenshots and tracks activity; the web tracker and Chrome extension record time only.
• Smart Monitoring is a $2.50 per user a month add-on on every plan, and payroll costs $1.50 per user a month extra on Pro.

Time Doctor

Automatic or interactive tracking

The desktop app tracks time either silently in the background or under the user's control with tasks, online or offline. The web app is for dashboards, reports and settings only.

Screenshots and screen recording

Optional screenshots are part of every plan and can be configured per team. Video screen recording comes with Premium and is an add-on for Basic and Standard.

Web and app usage

From Standard, reports show which websites and apps time went to, with configurable productivity ratings and an activity summary for people and teams.

Attendance, schedules and payroll

Standard adds shift schedules, attendance, break and leave tracking, time approvals and payroll reports built from tracked hours.

Benchmarks AI and unusual activity

Benchmarks AI compares teams with matched peer groups, and the unusual activity report flags mouse jigglers and irregular keyboard input. Both are in Premium or sold as add-ons.

Integrations through the browser

From Standard, more than 60 integrations work through Chrome and Firefox extensions that add start and stop timer controls inside supported web apps.

WebWork

Time tracking on every device

Timers start manually or automatically from device activity, with idle detection, break tracking and offline tracking. A kiosk mode lets an on-site team clock in from one shared device with personal PINs.

Screenshots and activity monitoring

The desktop app captures screenshots, keyboard and mouse activity levels and app and website usage. Pro allows up to 3 screenshots every 10 minutes and Plus and Premium up to 10.

Timesheets, attendance and leave

Timesheets are generated from tracked time on every plan, alongside attendance monitoring, overtime, leave requests and holidays. Timesheet approvals and shift scheduling start on Plus.

Payroll, payments and invoices

Every plan creates invoices from billable hours. Plus and Premium add payroll, paying the team through partners such as PayPal, Wise and Payoneer, payable invoices, expenses and project budgets.

WebWork AI assistant

An assistant that answers questions about team activity, creates tasks or standups and flags burnout risk. Plans include monthly credits: 10 on Pro, 25 on Plus and 50 on Premium.

Tasks, chat and meetings

Task management with custom statuses, automated standups and a built-in team chat are on every plan. Video meetings and unlimited chat history need Plus or Premium.
