Instead of Toggl Track
Stop renting Toggl Track. Own the hours your team logs.
Enterprise DNA builds your own time and billing system around the way your people record work and charge clients, brings your Toggl Track reports across, and looks after it. Add a person and nothing is added to the bill.
Toggl Track Starter is US$9 a user a month paid yearly, or US$12 paid monthly. Profitability reports, labour costs and timesheet approvals need Premium, at US$16 a user a month paid yearly or US$24 paid monthly.

Where the money goes
A Toggl Track invoice is users times plan, plus add-ons
Under the apps sit a few simple lists: clients, projects, tasks, people and time entries. Toggl Track prices access to them by the user, by the plan and by the add-ons switched on. Figures are in US dollars from Toggl's own pricing page.
Free stops at three people
The free plan covers teams of up to 3 users.
Paying month to month costs more
Starter is US$9 a user a month on a yearly bill and US$12 month to month. On Premium it is US$16 against US$24. Flexibility is priced in.
What a job made is a Premium feature
Labour costs, profitability reports, fixed fee projects and project dashboards start at Premium. At US$16 a user a month paid yearly that is US$192 a user a year, for every user, not just the owner reading the margins.
Signing off timesheets is Premium too
Weekly or monthly timesheet approval with locked periods is listed under Premium, as is single sign-on. A firm that has to check hours before billing pays the higher rate.
Add-ons charged per user again
Time Off Management is US$2 a user a month. Capacity Management is US$5 a user a month paid yearly, or US$6 monthly. Each one stacks on the plan.
Your history lives in their account
Records leave as Summary and Time Logs report exports in CSV or Excel. Getting every year and every person out means setting the filters right before you download.
What you get instead
Hours, rates and margins you can question
Recording time
One sentence logs the hours
Say who, which client, how long and what it was for. The entry lands in your own database with the right rate attached.
- check Durations written the way people say them, such as 1h45 or ninety minutes
- check A list of who has logged nothing in the past five days
- check Billable and non-billable split for each person this week
- check Corrections made by asking, with no screen to hunt through
Ready to bill
The invoice list writes itself
Ask what has not been billed and you get every unbilled hour and expense, sorted by value and by how long it has waited.
- check Unbilled work by client, largest and oldest first
- check Expenses listed beside the hours so none are forgotten
- check A draft invoice grouped by task and rate, ready to check
- check A covering note drafted for you, sent only when you choose
Profit
Margin for everyone, at no extra tier
Each entry holds what you charge and what the hour costs you, so the profit on a job is simple arithmetic, not an upgrade.
- check Spend against budget for each project, in hours and money
- check The real hourly rate a fixed fee job earned once it closed
- check Margin by client, by person and by kind of work
- check Questions no stock report covers, such as which retainers ran over three months running
Ownership
Records your business keeps
Your time history is plain records in a database you own. Your accountant or any reporting tool can read it without a seat.
- check One shared database for the team, with no charge per person
- check Open source, so there is nothing to cancel and nobody to leave
- check Your Toggl Track reports mapped across when you switch

Switching
How to switch from Toggl Track
A move usually involves exporting your Time Logs, mapping Toggl Track’s columns to the format the free version reads, then checking the imported records against Toggl Track.
- 1
Export your time history
In Toggl Track, export the Time Logs report, set the dates you need, and include every team member. Toggl Track exports reports as CSV or Excel files. Check with Toggl Track if you need help finding the export in your account. Start with the Time Logs report because it contains the time records you need to bring across.
- 2
Map Toggl’s columns
The free version reads a standard time export, but Toggl Track names its columns differently, so the file will not import as-is. Map the columns to the format the importer expects before loading your history. You can ask Claude Code to do the mapping yourself, or have Enterprise DNA handle it as part of the move.
- 3
Load the mapped records
Once the columns are mapped, load the time records into Time Billing. The free importer is built around a standard time export, not a Toggl Track file as-is. If your import setup offers a test run, use it before loading the full history. Keep the original Toggl export unchanged so you can refer back to it while you check the results.
- 4
Check the import results
Review any rows or mapping issues the import flags, then compare the imported hours and records with Toggl Track. Check that the right people, clients, projects, dates, durations, notes and rates came across where they are part of your export. Resolve anything that does not match before your team starts relying on the new records.
- 5
Run both, then switch
Keep Toggl Track available while your team records new time in the new system for a short period. Compare the records and billing totals so you can catch gaps before you stop using Toggl Track. Once the new records look right and your team is working there, stop entering time in Toggl Track. Keep its export as a reference for the history you chose not to bring over.
Where the real effort goes
The real work is usually mapping Toggl Track’s columns to the import format, deciding which history to bring across, and checking that your own billing fields and rules make sense in the new setup. You do not have to move every record if you only need recent history. If you have Enterprise DNA install and run it for you, they handle the mapping and migration work.

Questions
Instead of Toggl Track, answered
Our team loves the Toggl Track timer. Do we lose it? expand_more
The free version records time after the work, in one sentence, and most people fill in their hours that way anyway. If your team depends on a running timer or a desktop app, Enterprise DNA builds one into your version.
Toggl Track connects to Claude already. Why move? expand_more
That connection reaches into Toggl's account, and only as far as their plan and their tools allow. With your own version the records sit in your database, so any question about hours, rates and margins can be answered, and the rules can be changed to fit how you bill.
How do we get our history out of Toggl Track? expand_more
Toggl Track exports its Summary and Time Logs reports as CSV or Excel files. Use the Time Logs report, set the dates you need and include every team member, then download it.
Will the free version read the Toggl Track file as it is? expand_more
Not straight away. The free version reads one standard time export out of the box, and Toggl Track names its columns differently. Mapping them is part of what Enterprise DNA does for you, or you can ask Claude Code to map them yourself.
Is it worth switching if we only pay for a few users? expand_more
Maybe not. Up to 3 users is free, and a small team on Starter pays little. Moving makes sense when you need profit and approval features that sit on Premium, or want the records in your own hands. On the call we will tell you plainly if staying is the better call.
