Questions
Can I import my Hubstaff data into wagti?
Not yet — there's no one-click Hubstaff import. Most teams start fresh, since past hours usually stay in your old reports and rarely need re-tracking. Export your Hubstaff history to CSV to keep it, and wagti gives you clean CSV exports from day one. Moving a larger team? Get in touch and we'll help you bring projects and rates across.
Does wagti track screenshots or activity levels?
No. wagti measures time, not keystrokes. Staff see their own hours; managers see time and rates, never surveillance. If you specifically want proof-of-work monitoring, Hubstaff is built for that and wagti isn't.
Is there a seat minimum?
No. Start with one person on a paid plan, or use the Free plan for up to 5.
