Where Toggl Track is better

  • Native apps for phones and computers, with offline work.
  • Automatic tracking: idle detection, calendar and desktop activity.
  • Team features such as timesheet approvals, roles and SSO.
  • More than 100 integrations and a public API.

Where Time Recorder fits better

  • A Telegram bot that is part of the product, so the timer is in a chat you already use.
  • Only one timer runs at a time, so the log never has two tasks on top of each other.
  • One subscription covers five more tools: invoices, uptime monitoring, subscriptions, support and a cookie banner.

Which one to choose

Choose Toggl Track if you work in a team, need native apps, or want the tracker to notice what you do on your computer.

Choose Time Recorder if you work alone, bill clients by the hour and want to start and stop the timer from Telegram.
