The self-hosted Toggl Track alternative
Clockora — Self-hosted staff timesheet — hours by project, exact totals, approvals. No invoicing. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Toggl Track every month.
Stop renting Toggl Track
3 months of Toggl Track equals this one-time price.
Assumption: Stored at the entry PAID tier for three seats ($9 x 3), matching the Clockify and Harvest rows on this product. Worth reading twice: the Premium headline of $14 is a first-year rate that the vendor's own footnote renews at $18 — a 29% step-up in year two, printed on the page rather than hidden. Clockora is $69 once, for every member of staff, with no year two.
How Toggl Track pricing grows with you
Toggl meters per seat and steps the price UP after year one: the headline Premium figure is an introductory rate, not the ongoing one.

What Toggl Track does that we don't
Toggl Track keeps a genuinely free tier for a small team and runs the wider tracking suite — customisable reports, project progress, single sign-on and integrations into the tools the work already lives in.

Who should stay with Toggl Track
Stay with Toggl if you need the desktop and mobile trackers, the integrations catalogue 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. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Toggl Track
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Toggl Track's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Clockora vs Toggl Track comparison.
