Beebole vs Toggl (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Beebole if

• Fits if you are a team of up to 5 that wants free project time tracking
• Works for a services team that bills clients by project

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you grow past 5 users, as the free plan stops there
• Pricey if you want budgets, costs or expenses, which sit on Advanced at €18 a user
• Watch out: the page shows euro prices only, and annual saves 10%
• Watch out: moving back to free ends a paid plan with no refund for the rest of the period

Pick Toggl if

• Fits if you're an agency or consultancy billing clients by the hour
• Works for teams of 3 or fewer on the free plan, or teams that want tracking and planning in one tool

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you pay monthly, at $12 a user on Starter against $9 billed annually, and $24 against $16 on Premium
• Skip it if you need timesheet approvals, profitability reports, Jira or Asana sync or SSO, since those need Premium at $16
• Tight if a fourth person joins, as the free plan stops at 3 users and has no billable rates or team reports
• Not for you if you want screenshots of your team's screens, as Toggl says it takes none
• Not for you if you work on Linux, as desktop apps are listed for Windows and macOS only
