Flexible Time Tracking

Every team member chooses how they want to track time

Timely supports AI-based automated time tracking, which works only after you install their apps. You don’t have the option to track time on their web app or add manual time entries.

Toggl Track offers three flexible ways to track time: automated time tracking, timer, and manually adding time entries.

Plus, you can track time wherever you want — on the web app, desktop, or mobile devices — and keep everything in sync.

With all these flexible options to choose from, time tracking with Toggl Track is a breeze for everyone on your team.

Different types of reporting with Toggl Track such as Reports and Insights showing project profitability

Advanced time-data Analytics

Get productivity and profitability insights from your team’s time logs

Timely offers powerful reporting features — useful to see what your team is up to. If you want deeper insights, you can manually export your team's time data into a third-party tool for analysis.

Toggl Track has three in-depth reporting tools:

  • Reports: Generate project and team timesheet reports to see how your team spends their billable and non-billable hours.
  • Insights: Make better business decisions by spotting trends. Identify bottlenecks by comparing estimated vs. actual efforts. Track project profitability with income vs. expense reports.
  • Analytics: Build custom charts and time reporting dashboards to analyze and present insights into your team’s tracked hours.

Flexible and Affordable Pricing

Get a plan that meets your needs, regardless of team size

Timely: Plans limit the number of users, forcing you to switch to higher tiers even if you don't need the extra features. They do not offer free or affordable plans for freelancers and startup teams.

Toggl Track offers a free plan for up to 5 users — a perfect option for freelancers and micro-businesses.

The paid plans are designed to offer maximum flexibility and efficiency for growing and large teams, ensuring you only pay for what you truly need: a suite of powerful time tracking and productivity tools that scale with you.
