Comparison

Tempough vs
Toggl Track

A simple, popular time tracker — just the timer.

Toggl Track has the largest user base in the standalone-time-tracker category, mostly because it nails one thing: friction-free timing. A free tier and a clean Pomodoro-style timer get it adopted by solo freelancers, students, and individuals at companies. Toggl doesn't invoice, doesn't plan, and doesn't track profitability — those live in other tools you're expected to wire up. Tempough is the all-in-one product Toggl users typically graduate to once tracking becomes a team business problem.

Where Toggl Track wins

  • Free tier supports up to 5 users — no other product in this comparison has a true free tier.
  • Best-in-class single-purpose timer — keyboard shortcuts, browser extensions, Pomodoro mode, idle detection.
  • Plays well as a "pure data source" for export-and-aggregate workflows.

Where Tempough wins

  • Built-in invoicing, approvals, expenses, time off, forecasting — Toggl ships none of these.
  • Project profitability (cost rates, margin reports). Toggl doesn't have a billing model at all.
  • Capacity planning + forecast vs. actual — Toggl Plan exists separately but is much lighter.
  • When timer use grows into a team workflow, you don't need to bolt on FreshBooks + Float + a separate approvals tool — it's one product.
