Tool matchup
Everhour vs Toggl Track — embedded time tracking inside your PM tool, or a standalone timer that works everywhere. Which approach saves you more time?
Time tracking and budgeting system designed to work inside project management tools with billing and estimate controls.
Simple time tracking with one-click timers, project reports, and billable hour calculations. Know exactly where your hours go and invoice accurately.
Both track time. The difference is where and how. Toggl Track is a standalone timer. It lives in your browser, desktop, or phone, and you start/stop it regardless of what app you are working in. One-click tracking, clean reports, and a generous free tier for up to 5 users. At $9/month per user on the Starter plan, you get billable rates, project budgets, and export-ready reports for invoicing. The simplicity is the product — there is nothing to configure, nothing to learn. Everhour embeds inside your project management tool. If you run client delivery in Asana, ClickUp, or Monday.com, Everhour adds time tracking buttons directly to your tasks. You never leave your PM tool to track time. That integration is the product — time entries are automatically linked to projects and tasks without manual tagging. For solo consultants: Toggl Track wins on simplicity and price. Its free tier is genuinely free (no credit card, no limits that matter for solo use), and the one-click timer works whether you are in a Google Doc, on a Zoom call, or reviewing a contract. You do not need a PM tool to use it. For consultants with teams or complex projects: Everhour wins on depth. If your work already lives in Asana or ClickUp, having time tracking embedded in the same interface where tasks are managed eliminates the "forgot to track time" problem. But it starts at $8.50/user/month with a minimum of 2 seats, which makes it pricier for solos. Start with Toggl Track. Move to Everhour only if your PM-tool integration needs justify the higher price.
Toggl Track leads by 10 points (strong advantage).
