I use hubstaff to employee and projec time for a small web dev team. I don't have a lot of needs, and don't use hubstaff's full feature set, but worktivity does everything I need, and some of it even better than hubstaff.
in particular, the way it tracks users idle time, and "productive" vs "unproducitve" app or website usage is much more accurate and detailed than hubstaff.
actually using it to track your time is a bit nicer too. one click to start a new task/project or switch between them.
Pros: + tracks employee time + tracks project/task time + super easy to use + support was quick to respond to questions + very easy to set up + really detailed time tracking +lets you very easily see all the apps and websites users are using and designate which ones are productive or not. + lets me very easily see if my employees are being productive at a very granular level, without going through lots of screenshots - although I can if I want to +reporting is much nicer UI than hubstaff +overal UI is nicer
Cons: - no webhook or API integrations yet. for example, hubstaff will give me slack alerts when my employees start or stop. maybe worktivity will do this in the future. the API is under development. - project or employee finances aren't shown (only hours), although this is on their roadmap - it has a feature for "expected work hours" but it's global. for my company, it depends on the employee, so that's not very useful for me. but hubstaff didn't do this for me either. - hubstaff has an alert about idle time, which is nice because I might walk away for lunch and forget to stop the timer. the alert allows me to basically remove the mistaken idle time with a click when I get back to my computer. Worktivity tracks idle time, but doesn't remove it. so if an employee does this, they might actually want to remove their mistaken idle time, but I don't think they'd be able to. I worry my guys will be nervous if this happens, because then it will show them as having a large amount of idle time, but really it was just an oversight. - maybe some other smaller features of hubstaff that I never used aren't contained here
Bottom Line: it's rare that a deal will 1:1 replace a current subscription of mine. this does just that. I'm ditching hubstaff for good. Incredible value here, if anything it's priced too low hah.

I bought worktivity and tested it for a few days. The interface is very pleasant, installing the agent for Windows went smoothly. Worktivity is already ready to use for freelancers or even very small teams.
+ Very nice user interface + Very nice and responsive support team + Categorization of apps and browser windows works reliably + Has the possibility of manual time entries + Trouble-free installation of the recording apps
The software is not yet suitable for agencies or larger teams. The software cannot (yet) handle different employment types such as freelancers and permanent employees. Some functions that are important for agencies are missing. There is no meaningful comparison of target and actual working hours anywhere. There is also no time balance that would, for example, show the accrued overtime. The app does not allow individual workdays or target hours per user. This is essential for team time tracking. For the software to be called a full-fledged time management, leave management is missing.
- No entry date and exit date per employee - No hourly balance per employee - No accumulated overtime - No comparison of target and actual working times - No configuration of working time and days per user - No leave management
Hopefully, the app will be further developed so that in the future both freelancers and permanent employees can be managed in parallel.

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback! You have conducted a truly insightful analysis of the product by examining it thoroughly in relation to our competitors and the industry's needs. ๐
We appreciate your kind words about the features you mentioned in the positives. We are working diligently every day to improve these aspects further.
Regarding the areas of improvement:
No entry date and exit date per employee: If I understood correctly, you can actually see the "clock-in" and "clock-out" times for each employee on the "Overview" or timesheet screen.
No hourly balance per employee, No configuration of working time and days per user: Our team is actively working on these aspects. With the upcoming major update, the "Payroll Calculator" feature, which follows the recently released task management feature last week, we will be able to perform detailed cost calculations. ๐ฐ
No accumulated overtime, No comparison of target and actual working times: Thank you for your suggestions. We will soon incorporate these reports into the Insights section! ๐
No leave management: This is another feature on our development list, and it's an area we will take swift action on after the Payroll Calculator feature.
Regarding these features and other planned developments for the future, I am sharing the roadmap link with you below: https://sharing.clickup.com/4614022/l/h/4ctw6-2880/a36c6fb9d1c9886
With your feedback, we are dedicated to making Worktivity better every day. ๐ Since our initial introduction with AppSumo, we sincerely thank you for every new feature you've contributed to our product and for all the feedback you've provided! ๐
