What TMetric adds that many teams outgrow Toggl
Monitoring signals
TMetric adds an optional monitoring layer (apps usage, activity levels, screenshots) that provides accountability, useful for remote teams, contractors, or compliance purposes.
Billing outcomes: rates → invoices → payroll-ready totals

Project profitability & budgets
TMetric turns raw time data into actionable financial insights, helping teams stay on budget, invoice accurately, and maximize project profitability.
Success Stories
TMetric helps us to track and manage our work time on different projects. It has provided us with a comprehensive overview of how our time is allocated across various tasks. Its reporting features have been particularly helpful in providing us with valuable insights into our work patterns, which has resulted in increased efficiency and productivity.
Linda Förster, project manager at Medudy
We’ve found TMetric to be both user friendly and robust. It was easy to setup which allowed us to begin leveraging the tool immediately. It also provides multiple layers of reporting which provides value to our organization on a number of different levels.
Brian Reilly, BankBound
TMetric is faster, more convenient and cheaper, the support is responsive and they fixed some bugs quickly.
Swen Roethlisberger, Floowedit
Works for me!
I recently transitioned from full-time employee to ‘consultant’. Needed an app to track projects, tasks and generate billing based on our agreement. TMetric handles this elegantly and I can access from my iPhone, iPad or PC- awesome!
Jim Rolph, Manufacturer's Representative at Gorman Company
After five months we are very happy with the app and will gladly renew the service. We are still finding new uses for it within our organization and it’s been pivotal for helping us gather better decision-making information, grow our topline and reduce our bottomline.
Galeno Chua, The Idea Founding Principal
There are plenty of available applications to monitor working time. We chose TMetric because of the suitable price and compatibility with Trello and Google Documents, which we use every day in our company.

TMetric vs Toggl: what’s right for you?
Paid time off management
TMetric includes advanced time-off management in its Business plan, starting at $9 per user per month, with features such as leave policies, request approvals, and a built-in time-off calendar. In contrast, Toggl Track requires its Premium plan to access similar functionality, with pricing starting at $18 per user per month.
Built-in invoicing
TMetric includes built-in invoicing that allows users to generate professional invoices directly from tracked time, streamlining billing without the need for external tools. In contrast, Toggl Track does not offer fully native invoicing and typically relies on time reports and integrations with external accounting software.
Project budgeting & cost rates
TMetric and Toggl Track both offer project budgeting and cost rate features, but they differ in focus. TMetric focuses on detailed budgeting, profitability tracking, and built-in invoicing, making it ideal for agencies and teams managing costs and client billing. Toggl is best for teams that want simplicity and third-party accounting integration.
Activity & productivity monitoring
TMetric includes native activity and productivity monitoring (with app usage, activity levels, and optional screenshots), while Toggl Track does not. Toggl focuses on time tracking and reporting, leaving deeper productivity monitoring to integrations or third-party tools.
Client login to reports
TMetric supports client access to view reports directly in the platform. This means clients can log in, see time logged on their projects, and track progress in real time. Toggl Track requires you to export or share reports manually instead of giving clients direct login access.
