Toggl alternative

A Toggl alternative where tracked hours turn into paid invoices.

Toggl Track is a well-built, frictionless timer, quick to start, easy to report from, and genuinely pleasant to use. Worklyn keeps that same feel, a timer that follows you across the day, plus AI logging so "log 2 hours on Acme yesterday" becomes a clean entry, then does what Toggl leaves to an export: turns those hours straight into invoices, sits them next to contracts and proposals, and matches the resulting payment to your connected bank account.

Who each one is for

Two good tools, different shapes.

Toggl Track is built to do one thing very well: track time, cleanly, across a team. Worklyn tracks time too, then keeps going into the invoice, the contract and the bank account those hours are actually worth.

Worklyn is for freelancers who want hours to become invoices

Track billable time with a global timer and plain-English AI logging, then send an invoice straight from those logs, backed by proposals, contracts, connected banking and a receipt inbox in the same workspace. One flat price covers the workspace, not a charge per seat.

Toggl Track is for teams that mainly need a great timer

Toggl Track does time tracking cleanly, with a fast timer, solid reporting, and 100+ integrations to pass hours into other tools. If your invoicing and money already live elsewhere and you just want the tracking done well, Toggl is a strong, focused pick.

Side by side

Worklyn and Toggl Track, side by side

Why Worklyn

Where Worklyn goes further

Toggl Track is excellent at the timer. Worklyn keeps that feel and carries the hours into everything they're worth.

Hours flow straight into an invoice

Track time with a global timer or log it in plain English, then bill it, no export, no second tool. The invoice pulls straight from what you tracked, at your project's rate.

Proposals and contracts sit next to the timer

Win the work with a block-based proposal, lock it in with a contract and e-sign, then track and bill the hours in the same workspace, not a separate app you copy numbers out of.

The money side, connected

Connect your bank across the US and Canada via Plaid and the EU and UK via EnableBanking, so the payment for those tracked hours gets matched back to the invoice automatically.

AI logging, flat pricing

Say "3 hours on the Acme redesign yesterday" and Worklyn logs it. Pricing is flat per workspace, Free, Pro €19.99, Business €39.99, so adding a teammate doesn't multiply a per-seat bill the way Toggl's plans do.

An AI CFO, included in every paid plan, finds unbilled hours, chases overdue invoices and forecasts your cash. Everything here is live and shipping today.

FAQ

Questions about switching from Toggl

Does Worklyn track time as well as Toggl?

Worklyn has a global timer that follows you across the app, per-project rates, billable flags, and plain-English AI logging, so "3 hours on the Acme redesign" becomes a clean entry. Toggl Track has a longer track record on pure time-tracking depth, automatic tracking and reporting, so if a dedicated timer is genuinely all you need, it's a strong tool.

Can I invoice straight from tracked time?

Yes, that's a core part of how Worklyn works. Time you track or log flows straight into an invoice at your project's rate. Toggl Track doesn't invoice natively, so hours usually get exported into a separate billing tool.

Why would I move if I already like Toggl's timer?

If the timer is all you need, there's no reason to move. Worklyn makes sense once you want those tracked hours to become an invoice, sit next to a contract, and get matched to a bank payment automatically, instead of living in an export.

How does pricing compare?

Worklyn is flat per workspace: Free, Pro at €19.99/mo, Business at €39.99/mo. Toggl Track charges per user, with a free tier for small teams and paid plans that scale with headcount. Check Toggl's site for current per-user rates.
