Toggl alternatives and who each one is for

Here are seven alternatives to Toggl and Toggl Track in one table, compared on what each vendor's own site says about price, seat minimums, what a client can open, retainers and invoice payments.

We make Timebun, one of the seven, so read this page as written by one of the options. Every fact about another product was read on that vendor's own site on October 13, 2026, and the pages are listed under Sources.

Who each one is for

Toggl, for reference

toggl.com now sells a product named Toggl, and its pricing page says Toggl Track and Toggl Plan stay available and supported for existing users. The figures here are from toggl.com/pricing as it read on October 13, 2026, unless a sentence names the Toggl Track help center. Toggl's site says it “gives teams the time data they need for better capacity, profitability, and project planning”.

That pricing page lists a Free plan at $0, Starter at $9 a user a month billed annually ($12 billed monthly), Premium at $16 billed annually ($24 billed monthly) and Enterprise on request. Its FAQ says the free plan covers up to 3 users. The Toggl Track help center lists different Premium prices for Toggl Track, so if that is the product you use, check its own page.

If you use Toggl Track, a Toggl staff post of June 16, 2026 says Toggl Track continues, with no sunset date set and no forced migrations.

In Toggl, your clients can be invited as guests to view their projects, and guests cannot track time or open reporting and billing.

Clockify

Clockify calls itself “a time tracker and timesheet app that lets you track work hours across projects”. Its pricing page lists a free plan for up to 5 users, then Basic at $3.99 a seat a month billed annually ($4.99 billed monthly). Invoicing and Approval are listed from Standard, at $5.49 billed annually ($6.99 billed monthly). Scheduling, Expenses and Budget & estimates are listed from Pro, at $7.99 billed annually ($9.99 billed monthly).

Consider it if you want a free plan for up to 5 users, or approval, scheduling and expenses in the same tool as the timer. A client gets a report by link or an invoice PDF. A client login and online payment of invoices were not found on their site.

Everhour

Everhour's home page reads “Track Time. Build Trust. Stay Profitable.” Its Team plan is $8.50 a seat a month billed yearly, or $10 billed monthly, with a minimum of 5 seats. A free plan covers up to 5 seats with what the page calls limited features. A new account gets a 14-day trial of all features.

Consider it if you have at least five people and want budgets in hours or dollars that reset on a schedule, from daily to yearly, or one budget across several projects for the same client. Its features page also lists timesheets submitted for approval and invoices exported to QuickBooks Online, Xero or FreshBooks.

Harvest

Harvest's home page headline is “Turn hours into profit”. Its pricing page lists a Free plan with 1 seat and 2 projects, Teams at $9 a seat a month billed yearly ($11 billed monthly) and Enterprise at $14 billed yearly ($17.50 billed monthly).

Each paid plan is billed as Flex (usage-based) or Unlimited (fixed price), according to Harvest's help center. On Flex you pay the per-seat rate plus charges for active projects, active clients, active tasks and invoicing above a free allowance, and for a new account those charges begin at the second paid renewal. The same article gives an example of a bill going from $44 for seats alone to $404 once usage is added. Neither it nor the pricing page gives a rate per project, client, task or invoice.

Consider it if you want invoices that clients pay through Stripe or PayPal, invoices and payments copied to QuickBooks Online or Xero, and timesheet approvals. Clients get a dashboard of their invoices and payments, and can pay there, without signing in.

Hubstaff

Hubstaff describes itself as “Time tracking software for hybrid modern global workforces”. Its home page names screenshots added to tracked time and a view of the apps and websites a team uses during work. Its pricing page lists Starter at $4.99 a seat a month on annual billing or $7 on monthly, then Grow and Team, each with a 2-seat minimum. The trial is 14 days with no credit card.

Consider it if you want screenshots and app and website activity recorded next to the hours. A client can be invited as a Project viewer, a role that is not billed and sees assigned projects and their reports, and an emailed invoice can carry a PayPal button.

Timebun

We make Timebun, which is time tracking, retainers and Stripe invoicing for professional services firms that sell their time, with a portal each client signs in to. Starter is $15 a seat a month ($12 billed yearly), and Unlimited is $199 a month flat ($159 billed yearly), however many people you add, with your logo and colors on the portal. There is no free plan, and the trial is 14 days of everything in Unlimited with no credit card.

Consider it if you sell hours on retainer or in prepaid blocks and want each client to see the hours left and buy more without asking you. What it does not do is listed further down.

TimeCamp

TimeCamp's home page headline is “Improve Project Profitability with Time Tracking”. It has a free plan for unlimited users and projects, which does not include invoicing. Paid plans start with Starter at $2.49 a user a month billed annually ($3.49 month-to-month), where invoicing begins. QuickBooks and Xero are add-ons listed on Premium, at $3.99 billed annually ($4.99 month-to-month), and the pricing page lists timesheet approvals and screenshots under Ultimate, at $4.99 billed annually ($6.99 month-to-month). On October 13, 2026 the page showed each annual price beside a crossed-out higher one ($3.99, $6.99 and $9.99).

Consider it if you want a free plan for any number of users, or invoices a client can pay through PayPal. Its help center describes a Guest role that sees reports of tracked time, cannot open timesheets, rates or invoices, and does not count toward your license limit. The article does not say the role is meant for clients.

Timely

Timely's home page calls it “The AI time tracker to end time tracking”, and its plans list Automatic Time Tracking and AI timesheets. The pricing page lists four plans, priced per user per month: Starter at $9 billed yearly ($11 billed monthly) with at most 5 users and 20 projects, Premium at $16 billed yearly ($20 billed monthly) with at most 50 users, Unlimited at $22 billed yearly ($28 billed monthly), and Enterprise, priced by its sales team. The trial is 14 days of every feature with no credit card.

Consider it if you want time captured automatically and drafted into timesheets. More than 5 people need Premium or above, where the pricing page also lists planning work for teams and invoices sent to QuickBooks Online.

Where Timebun fits and where it does not

Timebun is for firms that sell hours on retainer or in prepaid blocks and want their clients to see the balance and buy more. A client signs in and sees the hours left, the time entries behind them and their invoices. From the same place they pay through Stripe, buy another block of hours or change their retainer plan. Client logins never take a seat.

It does not have the things in this table. For each one, the right-hand column names the products on this page whose own sites say they have it.

Which alternatives import from Toggl

Clockify, TimeCamp and Timely each publish a way to bring Toggl data in, and Harvest's site describes import tools without naming Toggl. Timebun has no Toggl import. This is what each vendor's own page says, read on October 13, 2026.

Three of the seven publish a Toggl import, according to their own sites on October 13, 2026: Clockify, TimeCamp and Timely. All three bring projects and clients. Clockify and TimeCamp also bring time entries, though Clockify asks for a paid subscription or the trial to import them and TimeCamp's Toggl add-on is on its Premium plan and up. Clockify adds tasks and tags. Timely adds users and tags and connects with a Toggl API token, and time entries were not found in its help article.

Timebun counts retainers and prepaid blocks in hours and shows the client the balance. Everhour (in hours or dollars), Timely (in time or money), Hubstaff (in cost or hours) and Clockify describe budgets that reset on a schedule. Harvest's retainers hold funds that invoices draw from.
