Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper, Toggl Track or TimeCamp?

On list prices, TimeCamp starts lower ($3.99/seat/mo) than Toggl Track (from $9). For reference, FocusUp is free for 1 person and $6 per person/month for teams.

What is the main difference between Toggl Track and TimeCamp?

Toggl Track is built for freelancers who want frictionless timers and reject monitoring, while TimeCamp targets budget teams that want keyword-based automatic project time. Toggl Track is beloved for frictionless timers and a deliberately anti-surveillance stance: no screenshots, no activity capture. Great for solo billing; thin on team evidence. TimeCamp does automatic tracking with keyword-based project assignment and billing rates. The keyword rules need setup and upkeep, and insight stops at charts.

Is there an alternative to Toggl Track and TimeCamp that writes the standup for you?

Neither Toggl Track nor TimeCamp drafts standups. FocusUp turns the same tracking data into each member's Yesterday / Today / Blockers every morning in Slack, plus a manager inbox with check-ins drafted in your voice and approved before they send — free for 1 person.
