Everhour vs Toggl

Everhour vs Toggl: which one gets your hours onto an invoice?

Everhour and Toggl Track both time work by client and project, then split on what happens next. Everhour lives inside project tools such as Asana and Jira and builds invoices itself. Toggl is a fast standalone timer with planning views, billable rates, and approvals on Premium, and it exports billable time for invoicing elsewhere. Both price per user. Keito is a third option for teams that bill clients: actual hours approved at each person’s rate and turned into invoices at a flat workspace price.

Quick answer

Choose Everhour if your team works inside Asana, Jira, ClickUp, or another project tool and wants invoices built from tracked time, copied to QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks. Choose Toggl Track if you want the quickest standalone timer, desktop activity tracking, and planning views, and you are happy to export billable time and invoice elsewhere. Both charge per seat: Everhour Team is $8.50 per seat per month billed yearly with a 5-seat minimum, and Toggl approvals need Premium at $16 per user per month billed yearly (checked 2026-10-20). If the deciding factor is approved billable hours becoming invoices at a flat price, Keito Pro is $49 USD per month for the whole workspace.

Flat price
Keito Pro and Business are priced per workspace, so adding a reviewer, contractor, or finance user does not add a seat
Approved hours
Keito invoices include only approved billable time and expenses by default
Reviewed capture
Timers, reviewed Outlook and Google Calendar imports, and AI assistants all create entries you confirm before billing

Built around the work before the invoice

Most teams comparing Everhour and Toggl have already decided they need a timer. The harder question is how hours get from the timer to a client invoice: who checks them, which rate applies, and where the invoice is built. Everhour answers that inside your project tools, Toggl answers it with reports and exports, and Keito answers it with an approval step and invoices built from approved time.

Set up clients, projects, and rates

Create the clients, projects, and tasks you bill against, with per-member billing rates and project budgets by total hours, total fees, task, or person. Keito has no Everhour or Toggl importer, so you set the billing structure up once and keep exports from your current tool as the archive.

Capture hours where the work happens

Run a timer in the web app, the Mac, Windows, or iOS app, or the Chrome extension, or add completed time. Review Outlook or Google Calendar events before they become entries, track time from Slack or a Trello card, sync linked entries to Jira worklogs, and let AI assistants such as Claude Desktop or ChatGPT log time through Keito’s hosted MCP connector.

Approve, then invoice

On Pro and Business, timekeepers submit timesheets and a reviewer approves them at each person’s billing rate. By default, Keito invoices include only approved billable time and expenses; invoices can be paid through Stripe and, on Business, copied to QuickBooks Online or Xero.

Everhour vs Toggl vs Keito

Two per-seat trackers, two routes to an invoice.

Everhour’s pricing page (checked 2026-10-20) lists a Free plan for up to 5 seats with limited features and no integrations, and a Team plan at $8.50 per seat per month billed yearly, with a 5-seat minimum, that includes every feature: integrations with tools such as Asana, Jira, ClickUp, Trello, Basecamp, and monday.com, budgets, expenses, timesheet approval, and invoicing that copies invoices to QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks. Toggl’s pricing page lists a Free plan for up to 3 users, Starter at $9 per user per month billed yearly ($12 monthly) with billable rates, and Premium at $16 per user per month billed yearly ($24 monthly) with timesheet approvals, profitability reports, fixed-fee projects, and Jira and Asana integrations. Toggl’s own invoicing page describes exporting billable time to build the invoice on. Keito is not a project planner like Toggl’s timeline, or a tracker embedded in dozens of project tools like Everhour. Its case is narrower: reviewed billable hours and the invoice built from them, at a flat workspace price.

Choose Toggl Track when the priority is a fast standalone timer, planning views, and desktop activity tracking, with invoices built from exports

Choose Keito when reviewed billable hours and invoices matter most and you want one flat price for every reviewer, contractor, and finance user

Frequently asked questions

Is Everhour or Toggl better?

It depends where your team works and how you invoice. Everhour suits teams that live in Asana, Jira, ClickUp, or similar tools and want invoices built from tracked time in the same subscription. Toggl Track suits teams that want a fast standalone timer with planning views and are happy to invoice from exported reports. If approvals and invoices from approved hours matter most, Keito does that at a flat workspace price instead of per seat.

How much do Everhour and Toggl cost compared with Keito?

Everhour’s pricing page (checked 2026-10-20) lists Team at $8.50 per seat per month billed yearly, with a 5-seat minimum. Toggl lists Starter at $9 and Premium, which adds timesheet approvals, at $16 per user per month billed yearly. For a 10-person team that is about $85 or $160 a month. Keito Pro is $49 USD a month, or $39 USD a month billed yearly, for the whole workspace with no per-user fees.

Does Toggl have invoicing like Everhour?

Not in the same way. Everhour builds invoices from tracked time and expenses, records payments, and copies invoices to QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks. Toggl Track sets billable rates and produces billable reports, which its invoicing page describes exporting as a spreadsheet or PDF to build the invoice on. Keito builds invoices from approved hours, accepts Stripe payments, and copies invoices to QuickBooks Online or Xero on Business.

Which has timesheet approvals: Everhour, Toggl, or Keito?

All three, on different plans. Everhour includes timesheet approval and edit locking in its Team plan. Toggl adds timesheet approvals on Premium, where approved periods can be locked. Keito includes timesheet and expense approvals on Pro and Business, with a reviewer approving each person’s hours at their billing rate before those hours reach a client invoice.

How do I switch from Everhour or Toggl to Keito?

Keito has no Everhour or Toggl importer, so plan a clean start. Export clients, projects, and time entries from your current tool as the archive, set up clients, projects, tasks, and billing rates in Keito, and start the next billing period there. Run one period alongside your current process and compare the invoices before switching. Developers can backfill older hours through the Keito API.

How does Keito turn approved hours into invoices and client reports?

Each approved entry carries the client, project, task, person, duration, notes, billable status, and billing rate. By default, Keito invoices include only approved billable time and expenses. Keito builds invoices, estimates, and recurring invoices from them, accepts Stripe payments, and produces time and budget reports by client and project; on Business, invoices can be copied to QuickBooks Online or Xero.
