Compare an existing Track workflow with configurable team activity reporting.
Toggl Track remains supported for existing users and is separate from the newer Toggl app. Track’s optional Timeline is not visible to other users according to its help; Hubstaff provides configurable activity visibility for teams. Decide whether shared activity detail serves the work before comparing plans. [1] [9] [4]
| THE DETAILSFind your fit. | Toggl TrackRead research review | HubstaffRead research review |
|---|---|---|
| Main workflow | Time tracking for existing Toggl Track users. The newer Toggl app is a separate product with different features. [1] [2] | Project time tracking with configurable activity records and reporting. [3] [4] |
| Free starting point | Free basic tracking. The Track plan guide does not state an exact user cap; confirm it for your account. [2] | One-person free plan with limited features; a separate 14-day trial is available without a credit card. [5] [6] |
| Entry paid plan | Track billing guide: Starter US$12/license monthly or US$9/license/month billed annually (US$108/year). Confirm your account’s quote. [7] | Small Business Essentials: $144 annually for exactly three paid seats plus a free owner, according to support. Confirm currency and availability; no monthly term or add-ons. [5] |
| Projects and tasks | Track Starter lists tasks, project estimates, billable rates and saved reports. [2] | Assign projects and to-dos/tasks to members; client links and further controls depend on the selected plan. [3] |
| Activity recording | Track’s optional Timeline can sync app names and window/tab titles to its servers. Its help says Timeline is not visible to other users and does not take screenshots. [8] [9] | Optional screenshots and app/URL tracking depend on plan and organization settings. Provider says it does not record typed content. [4] |
| Paid billing unit | Vacant licenses remain billed until removed. Deleting a member alone does not remove the license. [10] | Ordinary per-seat plans have a two-seat minimum and count owners, managers and inactive members; Project Viewers are exempt. Essentials has separate flat-plan rules. [5] |
| What to confirm | Use Track-specific documentation. The new Toggl app’s features and storage rules cannot be assumed to apply to Track. [1] [8] | Screenshots are not automatically blocked when sensitive material appears. Blurring, disabling and role visibility need deliberate configuration. [4] |
| Affiliate status | Track partner FAQ: 30% of the first eligible organization payment, not later upgrades or renewals. ATN participation is unverified. [11] | 20% on ordinary plans or 30% on Enterprise for 12 months, with an initial three-month hold and qualifying-payment rules. ATN approval and publisher eligibility are unverified. [12] |
| Consider it forATN assessment | Existing Track users comparing their current project-reporting workflow with alternatives. [1] [2] | A team needing documented activity controls and role-based visibility, with a clear agreement about what is recorded. [4] [5] |
Plan comparison, not a timer-accuracy or privacy audit. Features and billing units differ. The Toggl entry covers Toggl Track, which remains supported for existing users, not the newer Toggl app. Prices are dated snapshots; confirm currency, taxes, seats and your account’s terms. Adult-business eligibility has not been verified.
This comparison uses Track’s plan and desktop documentation. Its Timeline can synchronize app names and window/tab titles to servers even though other users cannot see the timeline. That is distinct from both a local-only claim and the newer Toggl app’s behavior. [1] [8] [9]
Track’s help says it does not take employee screenshots. Hubstaff can capture screenshots when enabled and does not automatically block sensitive content. Decide what is necessary, explain it to participants and inspect the actual permissions before use. [9] [4]
Track warns that vacant licenses remain billed until removed. Hubstaff support describes open seats staying available during the current term and being removed at the next term, with separate rules for Essentials. Review billing as well as member access after staffing changes. [7] [5]
