Buy onceHow we counted: Stored at the entry PAID tier on annual billing for three seats ($9 x 3), matching the Clockify and Harvest rows on this product; month to month the same three seats are $36. Re-read 2026-09-26 at toggl.com/pricing, where /track/pricing/ now redirects: the first-year Premium offer ($14, renewing at $18) that the 2026-09-03 read quoted is gone, and Premium is $16 on annual billing or $24 monthly. Clockora is $69 once, for every member of staff, with no year two.
Toggl meters per user, and the month-to-month price is higher than the annual one: Starter $12 against $9, Premium $24 against $16.

Toggl Track keeps a genuinely free tier for a small team and runs the wider tracking suite — customizable reports, project progress, single sign-on and integrations into the tools the work already lives in.

Stay with Toggl if you need the desktop and mobile trackers, the integrations catalog or SSO. Clockora is the timesheet itself — hours by project, exact totals and approvals — bought once for the whole team, and it deliberately does no invoicing.
What Clockora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.
Why owning beats renting Toggl Track.
No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.
It never lives in Toggl Track's cloud.
Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.
Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.
The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Clockora vs renting comparison.
