clockodo vs Toggl Track

clockodo

Browser, desktop and smartphone apps plus a shared time-recording terminal, and the apps capture offline and sync automatically once a connection returns — that is the basement test passed. Retroactive entries, a split function to book a missed break afterwards, and an annotation whenever someone changes a time entry give a foreman a correction workflow. We found no public information on GPS or geofenced check-in or on bulk correction.

Toggl Track

Timers run on web, mobile, desktop and browser plugins, with timesheet approvals and idle detection — fine for desk staff, but I found no public information on offline capture, a shared kiosk or terminal for a crew, or GPS and geofenced clock-in. Anyone working in a basement fills this in from memory on Friday.

clockodo

The vendor names the BAG 2022 duty, records begin, duration and end minute-exact, and offers configurable break rules, an enforce-breaks setting and a warning to both sides when times are not kept, with a change annotation on every entry. Its own help page states the automatic break deduction books no break period, so at an inspection it would not be evident when the break was taken unless the employee records breaks. We found no public information on checks for the daily maximum or the 11-hour rest period.

Toggl Track

I found no public information on break handling, rest periods, the daily maximum, or retention aimed at working-time records; the retention statements that do exist cover personal data like ninety-day logs and seven-year billing records. Idle detection is a nudge, not break enforcement, and nothing here reads as built for an inspection.

clockodo

Vacation accounts with carry-over and country-specific holidays, ten absence types with per-type approval rules, a team calendar and mobile entry are all evidenced, and sickness runs through the same system. We found no public information on shift or duty rostering, availability, or substitution and swap workflows — the planning half of this criterion.

Toggl Track

PTO, public holidays and flexible hours appear in the plans and a Time Off Pro add-on handles leave, but I found no public information on entitlement calculation, carry-over, sickness recording or any shift roster. What's planned here is tasks and Gantt-style views, not a duty roster a foreman publishes for a site.

clockodo

Every entry carries client, project, subproject, service, employee and hourly rate at capture, hour and money budgets warn before a project runs into loss, and invoice drafts pass at a click into named invoicing tools — Lexware Office, sevdesk, easybill — with PDF and CSV as fallback. We found no public information on a cost-centre field, a billable flag, or how a rate change mid-project is handled.

Toggl Track

This is home ground: billable rates from Starter upward, labor costs and profitability reports, fixed-fee projects, estimates against actuals, and timesheet approvals behind the numbers. I found no public information on cost-centre structure, budget warnings or a handoff into a named invoicing system — the exports shown are generic CSV and PDF.

clockodo

A documented DATEV Lohn und Gehalt connection exists, with client and consultant numbers, personnel-number type and salary-type mapping, and recorded absences stand ready for payroll preparation. The same help pages state the export is available exclusively for hourly wage earners and excludes anyone with surcharges entered, so night and holiday surcharge work leaves this path. We found no public information on a lock step before transmission or retro handling after the close.

Toggl Track

I found no public information on a payroll handoff — no named system, no defined format, no surcharge handling, no lock step. All that's shown is generic CSV and PDF export, so the month leaves as a file somebody retypes.

clockodo

German company, data stored on German servers, a trust centre carrying the processing agreement and data-centre information, and subprocessors named by company and country, including Stripe in the USA with the Data Privacy Framework as the stated basis. The product is presented as a cloud solution; we found no public information on an on-premises or private-cloud option, and the captured pages do not name the data-centre provider behind the application data itself.

Toggl Track

The privacy policy states processing operations in Estonia with Toggl OÜ as the default processor, and transfer mechanisms (adequacy decisions, contractual clauses with impact assessments) are spelled out. Against that stand a Delaware contracting option, a sub-processors page whose contents are not among the captured pages, and no named data-centre provider with its certification.

clockodo

Every tier is priced publicly as a net per-user monthly price — Basic 4 €, Pro 10 € with 8 € for the first twelve months, Pro Plus 12 € with 10 € likewise, the Plus package at +2 € — with monthly or annual billing, cancellation to month end and VAT treatment stated. We found no public information on a price for the time-recording terminal hardware, and from 20 users upward the vendor invites individual offers rather than published maths.

Toggl Track

Starter and Premium are priced publicly per user per month ($9 and $16) with the annual deal stated as four months free, plus a $0 tier and a feature-comparison page. But the free tier is quoted as free "for a limited number of users" without the number, Enterprise is contact-sales, and the add-ons — Time Off Pro, expert onboarding — carry no price I could find, with VAT treatment and minimum term unstated.
