Toggl Track Alternative

Looking for a
Toggl Track alternative?

Most teams shopping for a Toggl Track alternative are here for one of a few specific reasons. Tempough is built around those reasons. Here's the honest case.

Why teams leave Toggl Track

We're not going to pretend Toggl Track is a bad product — it isn't. But these are the recurring patterns we hear from teams who switch.

1.  Toggl is a timer, not a tool for running a business

Once you need to invoice clients, run team reports, or track project profitability, Toggl forces you to bolt on FreshBooks + Float + a separate approvals tool. Tempough is one product from timer to invoice to margin report — no integration layer to maintain.

2.  Toggl Plan (forecasting) is a separate $9/seat product

When you graduate to needing capacity planning, Toggl charges you for a second product with its own login. Tempough's Schedule is built into Team at $11/seat alongside the timer — same workspace, same data.

3.  No invoicing, no margin reporting, no cost rates

Toggl tracks billable hours but has no way to turn them into an invoice. No internal cost rate concept means you can't answer "did this project make money?" inside the tool. For an agency or consulting firm, those are the actual questions.

4.  Toggl Track Premium pricing climbs fast at scale

At $20/seat/mo, Toggl Track Premium is more expensive than Tempough Team ($11) and Team Pro ($13) — and you still need to add Toggl Plan ($9) for capacity planning. A 15-person agency saves $1,620/year on Tempough Team alone, plus another $1,620/year by not needing Toggl Plan.

5.  No client portal or branded invoicing

Clients can't see hours or invoices in Toggl — there's no client-facing surface at all. Tempough has a magic-link client portal at every tier and branded invoices at Team Pro.

Common questions

Yes. Tempough's CSV importer accepts Toggl's standard exports for clients, projects, and time entries. The importer matches on email so as long as your team's emails are in the time export (or you add them), historic time entries land cleanly. Most teams under 25 people complete the migration in 30-60 minutes.
