Relentify Timesheets vs Toggl Track: Which Gives Your Team More?

Toggl Track is widely regarded as one of the best-designed time tracking tools on the market. Its interface is clean, its one-click timer is effortless, and it has built a loyal following among freelancers, agencies, and remote teams who need to track where their time goes.

But Toggl Track is a time tracker, not a timesheet management system. The distinction matters. If you manage a workforce of hourly employees, need verified clock-ins, and must comply with working time regulations, Toggl's elegant timer may not be the right tool for the job.

Relentify Timesheets is built for workforce time management. Here is how the two compare.

Pricing

| Plan | Relentify Timesheets | Toggl Track | |------|---------------------|-------------| | Free tier | Yes (up to 5 workers) | Yes (up to 5 users) | | Starter | £3/worker/month | $9/user/month (~£7) | | Professional | £5/worker/month | $18/user/month (~£14) | | Enterprise | Custom | Custom |

Toggl Track is significantly more expensive at every paid tier. The Starter plan costs more than double Relentify's equivalent, and the Premium plan is nearly three times the price.

For a team of 20 workers, the annual difference is substantial:

• Relentify: £720-£1,200/year
• Toggl Track: £1,680-£3,360/year

Different tools, different purposes

Like Clockify, Toggl Track is designed primarily for knowledge workers who track time against projects and clients. Relentify Timesheets is designed for businesses with employees who work shifts at specific locations.

| Use case | Relentify Timesheets | Toggl Track | |----------|---------------------|-------------| | Shift workers (hourly) | Built for this | Not designed for this | | Project-based tracking | Basic | Core strength | | Field workers (GPS) | Yes (verified) | No | | Desk workers (timer) | Basic | Core strength | | Freelancers | No | Yes | | Manager approval | Yes | Basic |

Feature comparison

| Feature | Relentify Timesheets | Toggl Track | |---------|---------------------|-------------| | Timer (start/stop) | No | Yes (core feature) | | Clock in/out | Yes | No | | GPS verification | Yes | No | | Photo verification | Yes | No | | Geofencing | Yes | No | | Shift scheduling | Yes | No (Toggl Plan is separate) | | Break tracking | Yes (automatic rules) | Manual | | Overtime calculations | Automatic (UK rules) | Basic | | Timesheet approval | Yes (workflow) | Basic lock/approval | | Leave management | Yes | No | | Project tracking | Basic | Yes (detailed) | | Client billing | No | Yes (billable rates) | | Team dashboard | Yes (workforce focus) | Yes (project focus) | | Compliance | UK WTR built-in | No | | Integrations | Growing | Extensive (100+) |

Toggl Track's strengths — project categorisation, billable rates, client reporting, and the one-click timer — serve a different audience than Relentify's GPS verification, shift scheduling, break compliance, and approval workflows.

The timer vs the clock

Toggl Track's one-click timer is its defining feature. Click to start, click to stop, add a description and project. It is elegant and frictionless for desk workers tracking their day.

Relentify Timesheets uses a clock-in/clock-out model. Workers arrive at a site, open the app, verify their location, optionally take a photo, and clock in. At the end of their shift, they clock out. The system records the exact hours with proof of location.

Neither approach is wrong — they serve different workforces. But if you manage employees who work on site and need verified records, the timer model does not provide the accountability that the clock-in model does.

GPS and verification

Toggl Track does not include GPS verification. It is a trust-based system — users log their time, and the data is taken at face value.

Relentify Timesheets verifies time records with:

• GPS location at clock-in and clock-out
• Geofencing around work sites
• Optional photo verification
• Continuous GPS pings during shifts (configurable)
• Flagging of anomalies (e.g., clocking in from an unexpected location)

For industries where accurate, verifiable time records are essential — construction, cleaning, security, care, hospitality — this verification is not optional, it is a requirement.

Reporting

| Report type | Relentify Timesheets | Toggl Track | |-------------|---------------------|-------------| | Hours per worker | Yes | Yes | | Hours per project | Basic | Yes (detailed) | | Overtime | Detailed (UK rules) | Basic | | Attendance | Yes | No | | Site/location reports | Yes | No | | Labour costs | Yes (per site, per worker) | Yes (per project, per client) | | Compliance | Yes | No | | Billable vs non-billable | Basic | Yes (core feature) | | Profitability | Basic | Yes | | Custom reports | Yes | Yes |

The reporting reflects each tool's focus. Toggl Track helps you understand project profitability and billable utilisation. Relentify Timesheets helps you understand workforce costs, attendance patterns, and compliance.

Integrations

Toggl Track has over 100 integrations with project management tools (Asana, Jira, Monday), communication tools (Slack), and business tools (Xero, QuickBooks). The integration ecosystem is mature and comprehensive.

Relentify Timesheets integrates with payroll systems and Relentify's own ecosystem. The integration library is smaller but focused on the connections that matter for workforce management — primarily payroll export and accounting.

If your workflow depends on specific Toggl integrations (e.g., tracking time directly from Jira tickets), that integration ecosystem is a genuine advantage.

Mobile experience

Toggl Track's mobile app mirrors the desktop experience — a clean timer with project selection. It is designed for quick time entries throughout the day.

Relentify Timesheets' mobile app is designed for the clock-in moment — optimised for speed and reliability in the field. Large buttons, GPS feedback, offline capability, and a workflow that gets workers clocked in within seconds.

Team management

| Team feature | Relentify Timesheets | Toggl Track | |--------------|---------------------|-------------| | Role-based access | Yes | Yes | | Approval workflow | Multi-level | Basic | | Disputed timesheets | Yes | No | | Bulk operations | Yes | Yes | | Team scheduling | Yes | No (Toggl Plan separate) | | Worker performance | Yes | Limited | | Multi-site management | Yes | No |

Toggl Track keeps scheduling separate (Toggl Plan is a different product). Relentify includes scheduling within the same platform, so shift creation and time tracking are seamlessly connected.
