Considered Both Products	Traqq Anna Popova QA at iVisit Chose Traqq The UI/UX of Traqq is way more understandable and more convenient to be used. Also, the price policy is more reasonable and affordable. Incentivized Helpful? Zainab Qureshi HR Manager \| Office Manager \| Talent Acquisition \| HR Ops Chose Traqq So I have used Jibble and time doctor for time tracking, but none of these would reflect the reasons for low/high performance of the employees as Jibble is just a time clock, and the time doctor won't yet make reports and send them to superiors right away. Traqq solves it. … Incentivized Helpful? Lisa Poirier HR Career Advisor & Virtual/Remote Support Chose Traqq The benefits are obvious as soon as you log in.

Taylor Williams Administrative Services Manager Chose Traqq As silly as it sounds, I was using Google to search for "timezone converters" prior to finding Traqq.

The … Incentivized Helpful? 🇨🇳Maggie Li🌙 Bookshop Manager/Artist Chose Traqq Upwork and ClickUp Incentivized Helpful? Eva Wang Product Manager Chose Traqq I was an Upwork user for a few years. I think the advantage of Traqq is it has an intuitive Dashboard that you can refer to. On Traqq's Dashboard, you can grasp the data of the whole team at once. While on Upwork, generally, we need to click on each contract to check the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Traqq It's similar to the Upwork time tracker, but Upwork does not let you erase screenshots or blur them, and that's a plus for my employees because they feel they are being tracked but without a privacy invasion. Incentivized Helpful? GX Gift Xavier Freelance Copywriter Chose Traqq Traqq is the first tracking app I've used. I have heard friends and former colleagues (On Upwork) complain bitterly about how poor most tracking apps are and the countless number of times they've been underpaid after putting in a great amount of time and energy.

AY Allison Yates-Gauthier Senior Special Events Coordinator Chose When I Work When I Work is much simpler, easier to navigate, and clear with details. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose When I Work It's been a long time since I searched for other products. We went from something that was simply a time tracker, so this was a big step up. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose When I Work I would say that When I Work is better for a smaller company and has more options than ADP workforce now. I like that we save money as we don't need all the abilities that ADP workforce now has as we use a different company for employee PTO and benefits tracking. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Traqq	When I Work
Likelihood to Recommend	Traqq is a great system when you are in the field of education. In my experience, it has saved me countless hours of figuring out how to remember the timezone my employees and students are located in. I used to use a written spreadsheet of each employee's timezone and one of those random timezone calculators. Being able to modify Traqq based on my employees' timezone, my timezone, and our company's timezone (the technical "working hours") has been a game-changer. Taylor Williams Administrative Services Manager Read full review	I recommend When I Work to those companies that are looking for a way to manage work schedules and want to increase the productivity of all employees. This is an important platform that would bring excellent results to small, medium and large companies. This is a constant monitoring system which allows employees to complete their tasks in the indicated time, When I Work sends automated alerts when an employee is not complying with their tasks and this allows us to know exactly the productivity we are having in each one of the sectors. It is an excellent platform for planning and administration of working hours, it has a very easy-to-use UI that allows schedules to be easily managed. Without a doubt, When I Work would be a perfect implementation for any sector or company, since it has a lot of potential to collect exact data on compliance with working hours.

Pros	The productivity colour system (red, amber, green) displayed on the work timeline works really well for quickly gauging productivity Reports are easy to generate, and can quickly be sent to others. Privacy features make it feel like a productivity tracker rather than a surveillance product. Harry Collins Freelance Software Developer Read full review	When I Work allowed me to color-code each employee's schedule. When I Work allowed me to show who was "off" during what time of day. This was essential for morale, as our event included 16-18 hour days, and I wanted to show that everyone had down time each day. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Being able to log in directly through networks such as Google, Apple ID, or even Facebook. I missed being able to use the application in other languages such as Spanish. Seeing the exposed data with graphics and being able to export them to PDF or Excel for example. Marina Kazakevicius Social media manager & Design Read full review	Customer service only available by chat or email. No phone- which is crazy, in my opinion. Slows down, getting things done. Understanding their charges is a pain. I still don't know what I am paying for. If you are being overcharged, they don't care; they keep you on billing for something in a group.

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Every time I contact When I Work staff with an issue, someone is there with a quick solution to my problem. I love the chat feature.

Alternatives Considered	So I have used Jibble and Time Doctor for time tracking, but none of these would reflect the reasons for low/high performance of the employees as Jibble is just a time clock, and the Time Doctor won't yet make reports and send them to superiors right away. Traqq solves it. Honestly, I have never come across any software competing with functionalities like Traqq yet.

Return on Investment	I've been able to get things done faster with Traqq. One of my clients made a comment a while back(I asked for her permission before posting this). She said, "I loved how I don't get to pay freelancers for doing nothing, now I pay employees according to the quality of work I receive". We both laughed about it though, but I believe that's a positive impact on her. I've been able to write more, knowing that my clients can see my major moves. My main aim is to impress my employers to get good feedback in return and Traqq helps me greatly in that area. GX Gift Xavier Freelance Copywriter Read full review	Compared to what I've used before, When I Work allows you to interact with your staff more than other scheduling apps. Though I don't know the cost, I was told it was cheaper than it's counterparts. The app doesn't have all of the features as the full website, but it's pretty close.
