Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Integrator

Weighted verdict

Lives in the API docs before the product tour. Optimizes for webhooks, import/export and a tool that plays well in a stack. Rejects closed ecosystems and CSV-only exits.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Integrator

Collaboration depth

How this is scored

How much real multi-person project work the tool carries: shared planning, assignments, dependencies, workload, comments, guest access.

0 — A personal task list; a second user has no defined place in it.

3 — Tasks can be shared and assigned, but planning stays per-person — no shared timeline, workload or dependency view.

5 — Solid shared projects with assignments, comments and at least one team-level planning view; gaps appear in cross-project or capacity planning.

8 — Team-level planning is first-class: cross-project views, workload/capacity, dependencies, guest or client access with sane permissions.

10 — Handles the full span from two freelancers to a structured department in one model — planning, capacity, permissions and client involvement all without workarounds.

Report an error

The Integrator

Planning here is shared, not per-person: a timeline that works as a Gantt chart, team-level capacity signals fed by PTO and public holidays, a leave-management add-on wired into capacity planning, timesheet approvals, and custom roles at the top tier. We found no public information on comments, guest or client access, explicit dependencies, or cross-project views, which is what keeps it short of first-class team planning. 2

Reporting

How this is scored

Whether the tool can answer questions about the work: progress, time, budgets, utilization — and export the answer.

0 — No reporting beyond looking at the board.

3 — Fixed per-project status views only; nothing aggregates across projects and nothing exports cleanly.

5 — Useful standard reports (progress, tracked time) with basic filters and CSV export, but limited customization and no budget/utilization depth.

8 — Configurable cross-project reporting incl. time, budgets and utilization, with dashboards and reliable exports.

10 — Reporting is a product in itself: custom report builder, scheduled delivery, API access to every metric the UI shows.

Report an error

The Integrator

The reporting goes well past staring at the board: team productivity and revenue reports, billable rates, labor costs, profitability reports, fixed-fee projects, and dashboards of time actuals versus estimates broken down by task and member. We found no public information on export formats, report customization, scheduled delivery, or API access to these metrics, and an answer I cannot get out of the tool is only half an answer. 2

Integrations

How this is scored

How well the tool connects to the rest of the stack: native integrations, calendar/comms hooks, API and webhooks, import/export paths.

0 — A closed box — no API, no integrations, CSV out if anything.

3 — A handful of marquee integrations, no public API or an API that covers a fraction of the product.

5 — The common set (calendar, Slack/Teams, file storage) plus a documented public API; automation platforms partially covered.

8 — Broad native catalogue, well-documented API and webhooks, first-class automation-platform support and real import paths from competitors.

10 — Ecosystem-grade: everything in 8 plus the tool is itself extensible (apps/plugins, AI/MCP surfaces) and exit via API export is complete.

Report an error

The Integrator

There is a public API with an MCP/CLI surface — genuinely useful for wiring into a stack — plus calendar integrations on the free tier, Jira and Asana at Premium, and browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome. But we found no public information on webhooks, automation platforms, Slack/Teams or file-storage hooks, or import paths from competing tools, so the catalogue reads as a few marquee names rather than the common set. 2

Onboarding effort

How this is scored

Time and friction from signup to first real value for a small team, without paid services.

0 — No self-serve path — onboarding starts with a sales call and an implementation project.

3 — Self-serve exists but the first project requires configuration a newcomer cannot judge yet (workflows, custom fields, permissions) before anything works.

5 — A team gets a first project running within a day; trial requires payment details or key steps live behind docs.

8 — Signup to working project inside an hour: guided setup, sensible defaults, templates, trial without payment details.

10 — Minutes to value even for non-tool-people, importers pull existing work in, and the tool teaches its own advanced features as the team grows into them.

Report an error

The Integrator

Self-serve is real: a free-forever plan with tasks, boards and timers, and a 30-day trial the vendor describes as having "no strings attached", with expert onboarding sold only as an optional add-on rather than a gate. We found no public information on guided setup, templates, or importers that pull existing work in, so I cannot credit the under-an-hour path on evidence. 2

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the company and the data actually sit: legal entity, ownership control, data residency, and subprocessor exposure to non-EU jurisdictions.

0 — Non-European vendor, data on US infrastructure under US law, no DPA worth the name.

3 — DPA and GDPR language present, but hosting defaults to the US or ownership sits outside Europe — compliance paperwork over substance.

5 — EU data residency is available and contractually fixed, but the vendor or its controlling owner is non-European, or core subprocessors put data within CLOUD Act reach.

8 — European company under European control with EU-resident data and a public DPA; remaining exposure is limited to identifiable subprocessors (e.g. a US hyperscaler's EU region) and is documented.

10 — European company, European control, EU-only data residency on European infrastructure, subprocessor list free of extraterritorial reach — verifiable, not asserted.

Report an error

The Integrator

The vendor is an Estonian company, Toggl OÜ of Tallinn, publishing a Data Processing Agreement, a Sub-processor List, and an EU Data Act Addendum that apply per product — a serious European legal surface. But we found no public information on data residency, ownership control, or the jurisdictions its subprocessors sit in, and those are precisely the facts the top of this scale turns on. 4 4

Support & documentation

How this is scored

Whether a stuck user gets unstuck: docs quality, support channels and their availability per plan, and the health of the learning surface.

0 — No docs beyond marketing pages; support is a contact form that may answer.

3 — Docs exist but are thin or stale; support on entry plans is effectively email-only with slow turnaround.

5 — Searchable help center covering the core product; chat or email support on all plans with reasonable response times.

8 — Deep, current docs incl. onboarding guides and templates; fast chat support not gated to top tiers; visible changelog.

10 — Docs, academy, community and support so good they are a reason to buy; SLAs published, support quality independent of plan.

Report an error

The Integrator

The only support channel the captured pages evidence is a "Contact Support" link on the legal page, and we found no public information on a help center, documentation depth, chat availability per plan, or a changelog. The 99.9% uptime and ISO/SOC 2 statements speak to reliability, not to a stuck user getting unstuck. 2 4

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Can a buyer determine the real, payable cost of the tool for their team before talking to anyone?

0 — No public pricing at all — every number sits behind "contact sales".

3 — Some tiers are public, but a deciding factor (seat minimums, mandatory add-ons, billing-period surcharge, tax treatment) only surfaces at checkout or in fine print.

5 — Self-serve tiers are publicly priced and the billing-period difference is stated, but the headline number still needs qualifying — e.g. annual-only headline, taxes excluded without saying so, or an opaque enterprise tier doing real work.

8 — Every self-serve tier is fully priced with billing periods and tax treatment plain on the page; only genuinely custom enterprise work lacks a number.

10 — Every tier including enterprise has a public price or published price formula, and the headline number is the number on the invoice.

Report an error

The Integrator

Every self-serve tier carries a number on the page — free at $0, Starter at $9 per user per month, Premium at $16 per user per month — with the billing-period difference stated as "4 months free Annual (Save 33.3%)" and a trial with no strings attached. Tax treatment is not shown, the free plan is "Free for a limited number of users" without the count, and Enterprise is contact-us only, which keeps it one step short of fully plain. 2
