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

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

Pick Traqq if

• Fits if you are up to three people tracking one project
• Works for teams that want no screenshots or activity watching

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you have more than 1 project, as the free plan stops there
• Skip it if you need invoicing, which starts on Business at $9 a user
• Not for you if you use Linux or phones, as only Windows and Mac apps are listed
• Watch out: billing is per seat bought, and refunds cover only 14 days on a first subscription

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.

Traqq

Timer and manual entries

Track time from the web app, Windows and macOS desktop apps or a browser extension, with entries linked to projects, tasks, tags and billing status.

Smart time tracking

The desktop apps can pause the timer when you switch to apps you mark as non-work and resume it when you return.

Timesheets and expenses

Timesheets are created from tracked time, with work-related expenses available from Plus and approvals handled in the same place.

Rates, invoices and financials

Billable and cost rates feed project financials; invoicing and uninvoiced-time views start on the Business plan.

Schedules, attendance and time off

Set work schedules, track attendance and breaks, and manage leave from a time-off calendar available on every plan.

No activity monitoring

Traqq says it records no screenshots, activity scores, idle detection or app and website usage, so time is only what people log.
