Toggl features, plan availability and prices are taken from toggl.com/pricing, the Toggl 2.0 Knowledge Base (docs.toggl.com) and the Toggl Track Knowledge Base (support.toggl.com) as of September 2026, on monthly billing (Starter is $9 per user per month when billed annually; Toggl Track's own Starter plan is also $12 per license per month, or $9 annually). Avaza's $7 is the published price per additional Timesheet/Expense or Admin/Finance user on any paid plan; plans start at $11.95 per month. Information and features are subject to change.

BILLING

1. Invoice the hours you track, and get paid online

Toggl's knowledge base says it does not have built-in invoicing: you export billable hours to CSV, PDF or XLSX and rebuild them in another tool, and Toggl Track can only generate a PDF invoice from a report, without payments. In Avaza the timesheet, the invoice and the payment are one record.

  • Unbilled time to invoice

    Pull every uninvoiced entry for a client or project onto an invoice in one click, grouped by project, category, person or task, with rounding applied at billing time.

  • Pay Now on every invoice

    Clients pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank debit through Stripe, or with PayPal, and automatic reminders chase what is overdue.

  • Recurring and retainer billing

    Schedule invoices that pick up unbilled hours each month, or hold a retainer as credit and draw it down as you work.

  • Books stay in step

    Invoices, payments, contacts and taxes sync two ways with Xero and QuickBooks Online.

EXPENSES AND QUOTES

2. Expenses and quotes, not just hours

Toggl's plan comparison covers time tracking, planning and reporting: there is no expense tracking, and its estimates are time estimates for planning rather than quotes a client can approve. Avaza covers the job from the first quote to the last reimbursement.

  • Receipts from anywhere

    Photograph a receipt in the mobile app, forward it by email, upload a file or import a CSV, in any currency with historical exchange rates.

  • Approvals and reimbursements

    Route expenses to an approver with email notifications, flag what is reimbursable and bill expenses on with a fixed or percentage markup per category.

  • Quotes clients approve online

    Send an estimate with discounts, an expiry date and attachments, and the client accepts or declines it with comments from any device.

  • Quote to project to invoice

    Convert an accepted estimate into a project, with line items as tasks and the total as the budget, then into one or more invoices.

APPROVALS AND RATES

3. Approvals, rates and budgets on every plan

Toggl puts billable rates and budget alerts on its Starter plan, and timesheet approvals, labor costs and profitability reports on Premium, $24 per user per month billed monthly. Avaza includes them on every plan, including Free.

  • Approvals built in

    Set a default approver per person or per project, approve or reject a whole week, a day or a single entry, and lock approved time.

  • Rates that follow the work

    Bill per project, per timesheet category or per person, with cost rates alongside so margins show up in the Project Profitability report.

  • Budgets with alerts

    Set an hours or amount budget per project and get a warning when a threshold is crossed.

  • Client sign-off

    Invite clients to the customer portal as Timesheet Approvers so they approve hours before you invoice them.

See timesheets
RESOURCE SCHEDULING

4. Schedule people and compare the plan with the hours

Toggl's timeline, time-off and capacity views start on its Starter plan, with utilization and workload reports on Premium, and its separate Toggl Plan product is being folded into Toggl 2.0. Avaza's team schedule sits in the same account as the timesheets and the invoices.

  • Drag-and-drop bookings

    Plan people across projects on a team or project timeline, with daily availability, skills, leave and public holidays in view.

  • Schedule to timesheet

    Bookings appear on the timesheet day view, where one click on Create Time turns the plan into a time entry.

  • Planned vs actual

    The Schedule vs Timesheets and Staff Utilization reports show where the plan and the hours logged drift apart.

  • One of 30+ reports

    Filter any report, save it and have it emailed as PDF or Excel on a schedule.

Toggl alternative FAQs

Is Avaza a good alternative to Toggl?

Yes, if you want to bill the time you track without a second tool. Avaza has one-click timers on web, desktop and mobile, day and week timesheets, approvals, billable and cost rates and budgets, and adds expenses, client-approved quotes, invoices with online payments, recurring and retainer billing, resource scheduling, team chat and 30+ reports in one product. If you mainly need a personal timer with automated desktop tracking and planning boards for a small team, Toggl's Free plan may be all you need.

What is the difference between Toggl, Toggl Track and Toggl Plan?

Toggl now sells one product, called Toggl or Toggl 2.0, which combines the Toggl Track timer with tasks, boards, a timeline and capacity planning; toggl.com/track now redirects to toggl.com. Toggl announced the Toggl 2.0 name on 8 June 2026 and says Toggl Track remains available, supported and updated for existing users, with no sunset date and no forced migration, while Toggl Plan users are being moved to Toggl 2.0 in stages. This page compares Avaza with Toggl's current plans and notes where Toggl Track differs.

How much does Toggl cost in 2026?

As of September 2026, toggl.com/pricing lists a Free plan for a limited number of users, Starter at $12 per user per month billed monthly ($9 billed annually), Premium at $24 per user per month billed monthly ($16 billed annually) and Enterprise at custom pricing. Billable rates, timelines and budget alerts start on Starter; timesheet approvals, labor costs, profitability reports and custom fields start on Premium. Toggl Track's own knowledge base lists its Starter plan at $12 per license per month ($9 annually) and Premium at $20 ($18 annually), and Toggl says existing Toggl Track pricing carries over to Toggl 2.0.

Does Toggl have invoicing, expenses or quotes?

Toggl's knowledge base answers the invoicing question with a plain no: billable rates, labor costs and time totals are available in reports and can be exported to CSV, PDF or XLSX for your invoicing or accounting tool. Toggl Track can generate a PDF invoice from a Summary or Detailed report, but the layout and template cannot be changed, there is no built-in way to mark billed time as paid, and clients cannot pay online. Neither product lists expense tracking, and Toggl's estimates are time estimates for planning rather than quotes a client can approve. Avaza includes expenses, quotes and invoices with online payments on every plan.

Can I import my Toggl data into Avaza?

Yes. In Toggl Track, export your time entries from Reports › Detailed as CSV or Excel (a paid-plan feature; the Free plan exports PDF) and have an admin run Settings › Data Export for projects and clients; in Toggl 2.0, export the Time Logs report as CSV. Then upload the files in Avaza under Settings › Import Data using the timesheet, project, company and contact imports. Projects and timesheet categories that do not exist yet can be created automatically once their companies are in Avaza; team members are invited by email rather than imported and need to be members of a project before their time is imported. Paid migration assistance is available from support@avaza.com.

Does Avaza have a free plan?

Yes. Every account starts on the Free plan with no credit card required. It includes one Timesheet/Expense user, one Resource Scheduling user, one Admin/Finance user, five Chat users, five active projects, ten customers, five invoices and bills a month and unlimited project collaborators. Paid plans start at $11.95 per month and additional Timesheet or Admin users are $7 per user per month, with no usage-based fees.

Can my clients use Avaza for free?

Yes. Project collaborators are unlimited and free on every plan, so clients and contractors can view tasks, comment and share files without costing you a seat, and clients can also approve estimates, view and pay invoices and act as timesheet approvers. Toggl's Guest role is also free and unlimited, but it is available on Starter and above, and guests cannot track time, see budgets or rates, or open reports.

Does Avaza integrate with Toggl?

Avaza does not offer a native Toggl integration. Avaza has a REST API, webhooks and a Zapier connection to thousands of apps, and Toggl publishes an API too, so hand-offs can be automated while you transition. For accounting, Avaza's own native two-way integrations with Xero and QuickBooks Online sync invoices, payments, contacts and taxes, and Avaza's MCP server lets AI assistants work with your account.
