Toggl Track

Overview

Toggl Track connects recorded hours to projects, clients, and billable work, with tools for individuals and teams. It is most compelling for freelancers and project-based teams that need flexible tracking across devices; organizations that require approvals or deeper team administration will need a paid plan.

Key features

Time can be entered manually or captured with real-time timers, including background tracking, and offline support helps when a connection is unavailable. The Free plan also includes focus mode, calendar integrations, tasks, boards, estimates, and personal reports. That is a practical set of tools for individual work, but personal-level reporting is not enough for managers who need a team view.

Reports can be filtered, grouped, and broken down by project, client, and team. Starter adds billable rates and team productivity and revenue reports; Premium adds profitability reporting, fixed-fee projects, dashboards, and timesheet approvals. The distinction matters: Starter can help teams understand tracked hours and revenue, while those needing approval workflows or project-level profitability must step up to Premium.

Integrations include Jira, Asana, Notion, Slack, calendars, API, MCP, and browser extensions. Jira and Asana integrations are included with Premium. Toggl records work duration and purpose without monitoring screens, keystrokes, webcams, browsing history, or location, a meaningful advantage for teams that want time data without employee surveillance. Its ISO certification, SOC 2 Type 1 compliance, and reported 99.9% uptime may also matter to organizations weighing security and reliability.

Pricing

Toggl Track uses a freemium model, with paid plans from $9/user/mo (annual) and a 30-day trial. The trial has no strings attached and can be canceled anytime.

• Free: free. It covers a limited number of users and includes manual and real-time timers, focus mode, calendar integrations, tasks, boards, task estimates, and personal-level reports. This is the sensible starting point for individuals or small groups that can work without team reporting and approvals.
• Starter: $9 a month, with annual pricing shown with a 4 months free promotion. It adds billable rates, team productivity and revenue reports, timeline views, tags, milestones, PTO, public holidays, flexible hours, and team reports. It suits teams that need shared reporting and billable-time tools, but not formal timesheet approvals.
• Premium: $16 a month, with annual pricing shown with a 4 months free promotion. It adds profitability reports, fixed-fee projects, project dashboards, timesheet approvals, Jira and Asana integrations, and single sign-on. This is the more appropriate tier for organizations that need approval workflows or stronger project oversight.
• Enterprise: custom pricing. It includes personalized onboarding, a dedicated customer success manager, custom roles, and custom solutions; Enterprise also offers multiple workspaces and priority support. Teams that need those administrative and service options must contact sales and book a demo.

The annual promotion is stated as four months free, but the published plan prices are monthly figures. Compare the annual commitment and seat requirements directly before choosing a paid tier; Free is capped at a limited number of users.

Platforms

Toggl Track is available on the web, Windows and macOS desktop, iOS and Android, and through browser extensions. The range suits people who move between devices, while offline tracking helps maintain continuity when connectivity drops.

Who it's for

Freelancers who bill by project or client can use Toggl Track to connect hours with billable work, and the Starter plan adds billable rates and team revenue reporting. Project teams that need approval flows, profitability views, or Jira and Asana integrations should consider Premium. It is a weaker fit for organizations that need extensive administration but cannot justify custom-priced Enterprise, or for teams that expect those controls in the Free or Starter plans.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Project-, client-, and billable-time tracking with flexible timers and offline support makes it useful across varied work settings.
• Pro: Reporting scales from personal reports on Free to team, revenue, and profitability views on paid tiers.
• Pro: The no-surveillance approach records work duration and purpose without capturing screens, keystrokes, webcams, browsing history, or location.
• Con: Free reports are personal-level, and the plan is limited to a limited number of users, so it is not a substitute for paid team reporting.
• Con: Timesheet approvals and profitability reporting require Premium, while Enterprise administration has custom pricing.

Alternatives

If leave management is the main need, compare Leave Management Software and Employee Time Tracking Software; for a broader category comparison, see Time Tracking Software.

OtisIO may suit teams looking for a free tier covering up to 10 users with rotas, a time clock, and tasks. TNC Track offers five free seats and free Team and Attendance modules, making it worth comparing for those needs. Passman is a free, open-source alternative with no paid plan stated. For leave-focused workflows, Absenca, actiPLANS, Day Off, LeaveBoard, and Shiftbase are alternatives.

Verdict

Choose Toggl Track for project- and client-based time tracking that pairs flexible capture with reporting, offline support, and billable-time tools. Its strongest case is the combination of broad device support and a clear path from personal tracking to team reporting and approvals. Look elsewhere if you need team approvals on an entry plan or enterprise administration at a published price.
