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

Pick TimeFlip if

• Fits if you like a physical object to switch tasks and hate starting timers
• Works for people with a handful of repeat tasks

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you juggle more than 12 tasks, as one cube holds 12
• Not for you if you want to try before buying, since only a money-back guarantee is offered
• Too light for team timesheets or invoicing, as it logs time to tasks
• Watch out: free shipping takes about 3 weeks, and it needs AA batteries every 6 months or so

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

TimeFlip

• It is a hardware product: one cube tracks only the 12 tasks assigned to its sides.
• Each cube runs on AA batteries, and the vendor says quality alkaline cells last 6+ months.
• The apps cover iOS 10+ and Android 7+, with no desktop app; the web app is for review and export.
• Free standard shipping takes about 3 weeks; a 5-7 workday expedited option is offered at checkout.

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.
• Desktop apps are listed for Windows and macOS; none is listed for Linux.

TimeFlip

Flip to track

The cube tracks time for whichever of its 12 sides faces up. A double tap pauses it, and a side can be set as the pause side.

Offline tracking

The device stores its own data and the vendor says it can run about 40 days without opening the app, then syncs over Bluetooth.

Tasks, billing rates and timers

Tasks get a name, icon, color, project or client tag, a billable rate and a direct or Pomodoro timer mode.

Mobile and web apps

iOS and Android apps set up the cube and show statistics; the web app visualizes, edits and exports time data to XLS or CSV.

Calendar connections

Time logs can be sent to Google Calendar, iCal, Outlook or other online calendars through a subscription link.

Open API

An API returns time entries for your tasks, and the cube's Bluetooth protocol is open for custom uses.

Toggl

Timers and manual entries

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.
