<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlari Aho and Krister Haav created Toggl in 2006 to accurately bill their software agency\u2019s clients. 17 years later, Toggl\u2019s purpose has evolved beyond timekeeping. We\u2019ve added three more products to the roster (Toggl Plan<\/a>, Toggl Hire<\/a>, and Toggl Work<\/a>) and renamed the initial app Toggl Track. <\/p>\n\n\n\nToggl Track is built on a simple idea: time tracking should inspire self-reflection. It also gives companies the data they need to streamline their operations and become more productive. The result? Better time management, increased profitability, and more free time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, Toggl Track\u2019s playful and intuitive design ensures time tracking becomes second nature. Users enjoy learning how they spend their time \u2014 it\u2019s like peeling back the layers of their day to find surprising insights and hidden patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then there are Toggl Track\u2019s Reports<\/u><\/a> and Analytics. Expansive and insightful, these features offer a way to slice and dice your time data, visualize it in many ways, and uncover productivity hiccups. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis becomes the foundation for constructive conversations, mentorship, and support, all based on Toggl\u2019s core values: trust, transparent communication, and respect for privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toggl Track is the ideal time tracking tool for companies that want to foster a culture of growth, performance, and trust while empowering decision-makers with tools to spot inefficiencies using Insights and Analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The story behind Clockify<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Nenad Milanovic and Lazar Vujanic founded CAKE, a suite of productivity tools, in 2009. It wasn\u2019t until 2016 that they started working on their flagship product \u2014 Clockify<\/u><\/a>. They realized the industry needed a \u201csimple and affordable\u201d time tracking app and that \u201cmore people should have access to useful yet free apps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nToday, Clockify is a timekeeping, reporting, and project management platform that helps professionals and agencies quickly start their time tracking journey. Its project management tools are handy for those who primarily work on short and straightforward projects instead of long and complex ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, its lightweight reports are designed to gauge billable hours<\/a>, automatically calculate wages for a set period, and auto-generate client invoices with just one click. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNow for something controversial \u2014 or not, depending on how you roll. Clockify\u2019s surveillance features include a GPS Tracker, Automated Screenshots, and Force Timers that can\u2019t be stopped or manually edited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This feature set makes Clockify the perfect time tracking tool for companies that expect industrial efficiency from their workforce. But it also fosters distrust between employers and employees. In fact, 63% of people<\/u><\/a> feel so strongly about the use of tracking software that they would consider it a reason to leave the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\nClockify vs. Toggl: User experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Toggl Track\u2019s toolset is easier to use, more customizable, and more functional than Clockify\u2019s.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n Clockify<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n\n Toggl Track<\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Toggl Track\u2019s Manual Time Tracker is easier to use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\nToggl Track lets you choose your preferred view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- List View<\/u><\/a> (day-by-day; shows a list of logged entries; allows bulk edits of time entries)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Calendar View<\/u><\/a> (whole week or a single day; shows entries as a drag-and-drop calendar)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
How you log time is entirely up to you. You can log time by creating time entries manually<\/u><\/a> or using the Timer<\/u><\/a>. These features make Toggl Track more adaptable than Clockify for teams because they can track time, visualize work, or personalize their timesheets in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt also lets you automate time tracking based on your commonly used apps. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/BRF2CdosHwtVeII0K-3iL40ghEwnYm2tdrJUM0stgWmKNl51JboTfJxV9wxhV0ptYWjHIN7ef7rRPtuDQr1ytgVYA9hvqU7wuqVXTmIGzX4g4iKoXA1sBFDI7W7H3I_q05Go0XF0pYuyi4mvMkre4cM\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOn Toggl Track\u2019s Desktop App<\/u><\/a>, you can set up the Autotracker, which automatically starts timers based on the time of day or active windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAlso, the desktop app automatically logs time if you forget to start a timer (2). It lets you set reminders when you forget to start or stop timers. And finally, it also has an integrated Pomodoro Timer. Clockify doesn\u2019t offer these key features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-5.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nClockify only has a list view for visualizing time entries. Toggl Track lets you switch between the List View and a daily or weekly Timeline View.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Clockify-Timer-Menu-1.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nToggl Track allows you to start and stop the timer for each project, so no one wastes time switching to the Timers tab when working on tasks. Clockify forces you to switch to the Timer Menu before starting or stopping the task timer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clockify only allows project-based time tracking<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWith Clockify, you must select an existing project or create a new one before saving a time entry. This means you can\u2019t use it as a stopwatch for everyday tasks. If you do, your workspace will become littered with placeholder projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In comparison, Toggl Track saves time entries even if they aren\u2019t associated with a project. And, if you need to associate an entry with a project someday later, you can. As a result, everyone from project teams, account teams, and HR teams can use Toggl Track as a time tracker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Toggl-Timer-Menu-2.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nToggl offers a better team management workflow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Clockify lets you invite new members to your projects using their email addresses and assign them to groups. You can also set different billable rates for each person on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dashboard shows all team activities, helping you identify what each member is working on and for how long. It also provides filters to sort through the information to find specific metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Clockify-Activity-Dashboard-3.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Calendar and Scheduling features visualize team activity, showing which members are available or overbooked. This lets you re-distribute workload as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toggl Track offers similar Team Management features<\/u><\/a> to Clockify. But unlike Clockify, Toggl Track lets you create multiple organizations under the same account, invite members to them, and set their permissions. This is useful if you manage multiple teams or departments with multiple managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Toggl-Assign-Roles-4.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt also lets you manage access<\/u><\/a> for individual projects with six different user roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWith Toggl Track, you can disable members without removing them entirely. In contrast, with Clockify, you can only delete members. which feels a bit drastic. And if someone returns to the team or comes back from leave, you\u2019ll need to send another invitation if you want to tag them back in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toggl Track lets you set Reminders<\/u><\/a> that notify employees when they forget to track their work or when they track less than a preset duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Toggl_Reminder.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt also reminds users to turn off the Timer if it\u2019s been active for too long. The Reminder feature is handy for managers who don\u2019t want to keep reminding their team to track time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toggl Track lets you set the required fields for a time entry, which improves the quality of your time data and helps with accurate time billing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also lock existing time entries and prevent new entries until a set date. Clockify offers a similar feature that makes the Project Field mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/toggl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-9.png\")

As a result, everyone from project teams, account teams, and HR teams can use Toggl Track as a time tracker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nToggl offers a better team management workflow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Clockify lets you invite new members to your projects using their email addresses and assign them to groups. You can also set different billable rates for each person on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Dashboard shows all team activities, helping you identify what each member is working on and for how long. It also provides filters to sort through the information to find specific metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe Calendar and Scheduling features visualize team activity, showing which members are available or overbooked. This lets you re-distribute workload as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toggl Track offers similar Team Management features<\/u><\/a> to Clockify. But unlike Clockify, Toggl Track lets you create multiple organizations under the same account, invite members to them, and set their permissions. This is useful if you manage multiple teams or departments with multiple managers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt also lets you manage access<\/u><\/a> for individual projects with six different user roles. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWith Toggl Track, you can disable members without removing them entirely. In contrast, with Clockify, you can only delete members. which feels a bit drastic. And if someone returns to the team or comes back from leave, you\u2019ll need to send another invitation if you want to tag them back in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toggl Track lets you set Reminders<\/u><\/a> that notify employees when they forget to track their work or when they track less than a preset duration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt also reminds users to turn off the Timer if it\u2019s been active for too long. The Reminder feature is handy for managers who don\u2019t want to keep reminding their team to track time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Toggl Track lets you set the required fields for a time entry, which improves the quality of your time data and helps with accurate time billing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also lock existing time entries and prevent new entries until a set date. Clockify offers a similar feature that makes the Project Field mandatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\nToggl Track\u2019s UI is more intuitive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \u201cI am absolutely a fan of Toggl Track.

They also support a \u201cSummary\u201d report that shows the organization\u2019s total tracked time that can be filtered by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- Task<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Team<\/li>\n\n\n\n

- Description<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis lets managers get a quick overview of employees\u2019 work patterns, the total time tracked, and the estimated revenue for any set period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAlari Aho and Krister Haav created Toggl in 2006 to accurately bill their software agency\u2019s clients. 17 years later, Toggl\u2019s purpose has evolved beyond timekeeping. We\u2019ve added three more products to the roster (Toggl Plan<\/a>, Toggl Hire<\/a>, and Toggl Work<\/a>) and renamed the initial app Toggl Track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Toggl Track is built on a simple idea: time tracking should inspire self-reflection. It also gives companies the data they need to streamline their operations and become more productive. The result? Better time management, increased profitability, and more free time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, Toggl Track\u2019s playful and intuitive design ensures time tracking becomes second nature. Users enjoy learning how they spend their time \u2014 it\u2019s like peeling back the layers of their day to find surprising insights and hidden patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And then there are Toggl Track\u2019s Reports<\/u><\/a> and Analytics. Expansive and insightful, these features offer a way to slice and dice your time data, visualize it in many ways, and uncover productivity hiccups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This becomes the foundation for constructive conversations, mentorship, and support, all based on Toggl\u2019s core values: trust, transparent communication, and respect for privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toggl Track is the ideal time tracking tool for companies that want to foster a culture of growth, performance, and trust while empowering decision-makers with tools to spot inefficiencies using Insights and Analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nenad Milanovic and Lazar Vujanic founded CAKE, a suite of productivity tools, in 2009. It wasn\u2019t until 2016 that they started working on their flagship product \u2014 Clockify<\/u><\/a>. They realized the industry needed a \u201csimple and affordable\u201d time tracking app and that \u201cmore people should have access to useful yet free apps.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, Clockify is a timekeeping, reporting, and project management platform that helps professionals and agencies quickly start their time tracking journey. Its project management tools are handy for those who primarily work on short and straightforward projects instead of long and complex ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, its lightweight reports are designed to gauge billable hours<\/a>, automatically calculate wages for a set period, and auto-generate client invoices with just one click. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now for something controversial \u2014 or not, depending on how you roll. Clockify\u2019s surveillance features include a GPS Tracker, Automated Screenshots, and Force Timers that can\u2019t be stopped or manually edited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This feature set makes Clockify the perfect time tracking tool for companies that expect industrial efficiency from their workforce. But it also fosters distrust between employers and employees. In fact, 63% of people<\/u><\/a> feel so strongly about the use of tracking software that they would consider it a reason to leave the company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Toggl Track\u2019s toolset is easier to use, more customizable, and more functional than Clockify\u2019s.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Toggl Track lets you choose your preferred view:<\/p>\n\n\n\n How you log time is entirely up to you. You can log time by creating time entries manually<\/u><\/a> or using the Timer<\/u><\/a>. These features make Toggl Track more adaptable than Clockify for teams because they can track time, visualize work, or personalize their timesheets in their own way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It also lets you automate time tracking based on your commonly used apps. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n On Toggl Track\u2019s Desktop App<\/u><\/a>, you can set up the Autotracker, which automatically starts timers based on the time of day or active windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, the desktop app automatically logs time if you forget to start a timer (2). It lets you set reminders when you forget to start or stop timers. And finally, it also has an integrated Pomodoro Timer. Clockify doesn\u2019t offer these key features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clockify only has a list view for visualizing time entries. Toggl Track lets you switch between the List View and a daily or weekly Timeline View.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Toggl Track allows you to start and stop the timer for each project, so no one wastes time switching to the Timers tab when working on tasks. Clockify forces you to switch to the Timer Menu before starting or stopping the task timer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With Clockify, you must select an existing project or create a new one before saving a time entry. This means you can\u2019t use it as a stopwatch for everyday tasks. If you do, your workspace will become littered with placeholder projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In comparison, Toggl Track saves time entries even if they aren\u2019t associated with a project. And, if you need to associate an entry with a project someday later, you can. As a result, everyone from project teams, account teams, and HR teams can use Toggl Track as a time tracker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Clockify lets you invite new members to your projects using their email addresses and assign them to groups.
