Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 28 of the 42 other time tracking apps we grade
WebWork is time tracking and employee monitoring software for remote, hybrid, office and field teams. While the tracker runs it can capture screenshots, activity levels and the apps and websites in use, and the hours feed timesheets, attendance, invoices and, on higher plans, payroll and payments. Task management, team chat and an AI assistant that answers questions about the team's tracked work sit in the same workspace.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about WebWork, taken from its own pages and our grades.
- 1
Best for team time tracking with screenshots
WebWork is time tracking for managers who want to see the work as well as the hours: screenshots, activity levels and the apps and sites in use, with timesheets, invoices, tasks and chat alongside, from $3.99 a user a month billed yearly.
- 2
Paid plans start at $3.99 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $3.99 per user / month, billed annually.
- 3
You can try it first
14-day free trial with all features, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on 6 platforms
Web, macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android, with a browser extension too.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
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.
- 8
A 2.8 GPA, above 28 of 42
That is against the other time tracking apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace WebWork you would be making chat that a whole team counts on staying up. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for team time tracking with screenshots
WebWork is time tracking for managers who want to see the work as well as the hours: screenshots, activity levels and the apps and sites in use, with timesheets, invoices, tasks and chat alongside, from $3.99 a user a month billed yearly. But there's no free plan, the owner's seat is paid too, Pro allows 1 integration and keeps screenshots 3 months, and payroll and the monitoring add-on cost extra.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Pro is $3.99 a user a month billed annually, the cheaper quarter of this category, and screenshots, app and website usage, attendance and invoices are already in it. Plus, with payroll and unlimited integrations, is $6.39. Add-ons cost more: Smart Monitoring $2.50 a user, payroll on Pro $1.50. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan. The pricing FAQ says WebWork is not free forever, and the owner's seat is paid like any other. You do get a 14-day trial with all the features and no credit card. |
| Features | B | Timers with idle detection and offline tracking, a kiosk for a shared device, screenshots, timesheets, attendance, leave and invoices on every plan, then approvals, payroll, budgets and shift scheduling on Plus, with tasks, chat and an AI assistant alongside. The job is covered. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Staff just start a timer, or let device activity start it, but somebody first builds the workspace: members, projects, screenshot settings and shifts, and then rations the one integration Pro allows. |
| Platforms and integrations | A | Web, Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, Android and a Chrome extension, with Slack, Jira, Asana, ClickUp, Trello and Notion among the integrations. Two catches: Pro allows 1 integration at a time, and only the desktop app takes screenshots. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who WebWork is for
- Fits if you manage a remote team and want screenshots and activity levels next to the hours
- Works for teams that pay staff or contractors from tracked hours, as Plus pays out through PayPal, Wise and Payoneer
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because every seat, the owner's too, is paid once the 14-day trial ends
- Tight if you're on Pro and use several tools, since it allows 1 integration and keeps screenshots 3 months and chat 30 days
- Not for you if your team would mind being watched, as the desktop app records screenshots, activity and sites
- Pricey if you add extras: the monitoring add-on is $2.50 a user a month on every plan, and payroll on Pro is $1.50 more
- Watch out: only the desktop app takes screenshots and tracks activity; the web tracker and Chrome extension record time only

Part 04 · Standing
Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
28/42
Other time tracking apps it is graded above
WebWork's GPA of 2.8 is higher than 28 of the 42 other time tracking apps we grade, and level with 5.
It stands best on platforms and integrations (A, above 24 of 42) and worst on free plan and trial (C, above 0).
Its paid plans start at $3.99 a month for each person, against a middle price of $6.55 for the category: 5 of the 35 others that charge start lower.
On features, ease of use and platforms it scores 3.0 out of 4. Nothing scores higher for less, though at least one tool matches that score at a lower price.
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 43 time tracking apps we grade, cut by the letter each got. WebWork’s own letter is outlined.
- BValue for moneyAbove 26 of 42

Price against what you get
Each dot is one of 39 time tracking apps. Further left costs less; higher up scores better on features, ease of use and platforms. WebWork is the marked dot.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace WebWork you would be making chat that a whole team counts on staying up. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.8 is higher than 28 of the 42 other time tracking apps we grade. It costs $47.88 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking, reports, invoicing and tasks: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Chat that a whole team counts on staying up.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Slack, Jira and Asana among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. WebWork’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
