Where Timely fits
Timely leans on automatic AI capture to draft timesheets from your activity. It has no free plan and asks for an annual commitment up front, and its two-way Jira worklogs need the Premium plan and a Marketplace add-on.

Questions
Can I import my Timely data into wagti?
Not yet — there's no one-click Timely import. Most teams start fresh, since past hours usually stay in your old reports and rarely need re-tracking. Export your Timely 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 need an annual commitment?
No. Start free, and upgrade monthly or annually when you're ready.
How is wagti different from Timely?
Timely drafts time from AI capture; wagti is a fast one-click timer with rates, reports and a two-way Jira integration. No screenshots, no forced year. Timely's edge is that automatic capture if you struggle to fill timesheets.
