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

Pick Clockodo if

• Fits if you bill clients by the hour and want projects and budgets tracked
• Works for small German-style offices that need holiday and break rules

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you want customer projects, which need Pro or Pro Plus
• Skip it if you need single sign-on, as it needs a Plus plan
• Watch out: Pro allows 1 webhook with 3 event types
• Watch out: prices are shown in euros and dollars, and the vendor sells to businesses

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

Clockodo

• Webhooks are limited to 1 webhook with 3 event types on Pro, and unlimited only on Pro Plus.
• Single sign-on and the extended SLA need a Plus plan.

• The pricing page shows each price in both euros and dollars; the vendor says it is sold to businesses.

Toggl

• The free plan stops at 3 users, and billable rates and team-level reports start on Starter.
• Timesheet approvals, profitability reports, the Jira and Asana integrations and SSO need Premium.
• Monthly billing costs more: $12 instead of $9 per user on Starter and $24 instead of $16 on Premium.

Start a timer, log hours afterwards or fill in a week at a time. Idle detection prompts you when the timer is running but the device has gone quiet.

Automated tracking

Toggl can record which apps and sites you used and lay them out on a private timeline. You decide which of them become time entries.

Focus mode and Pomodoro

Timed work sprints with a Pomodoro timer, plus reminders when logged time is under or over a threshold you set.

Billing and profitability

Billable rates by workspace, member or project start on Starter. Premium adds labor costs, fixed fee projects and reports on revenue, cost and margin.

Capacity and project planning

Tasks sit on boards, lists, timelines and calendars with estimates against tracked time. Utilization and workload reports account for time off and working hours.

Toggl AI

Ask in plain language about hours logged or projects over estimate, or have it log time and create tasks. An MCP server and CLI connect Toggl to Claude, Cursor or Codex.
