Key differences
Four differences that change which tool fits. Pick one to read it and see it in Staffic.
Toggl says it doesn't take screenshots or record keystrokes, and calls that a deliberate product decision. Staffic takes screenshots on Standard and Elite, only while the timer runs: 2 per 10 minutes on Standard, and 1, 2 or 3 on Elite. Each member can see their own.
Toggl's desktop apps for Windows and macOS record the apps and websites you use for over 10 seconds, keep that data private, and let you choose what becomes a time entry. Staffic records keyboard and mouse activity levels and the apps and URLs used during each tracked session, on every plan, and admins see them per member.
Toggl supplies approved hours and labor costs for payroll and says it doesn't calculate pay or make payments; its pricing page doesn't list client invoices. Staffic Elite works out hourly, monthly and fixed pay from tracked time, records each payment with a statement to the member, and adds clients and invoices.
Both free plans cover 3 people with no time limit. Toggl Starter is $9 per user billed yearly, and timesheet approvals need Premium at $16. Staffic Standard is $5.50 per user billed yearly and adds screenshots; timesheet approval is on Elite.
FAQ
Short answers to what teams ask before they switch.
Explore the live demoToggl Track is used to track working time: you start a timer or log hours, then report them by project, client and member. In September 2026 Toggl made its new app, called Toggl, its flagship, with the same tracking plus planning and capacity tools; Track stays available for existing users.
Yes, for up to 3 users. Toggl's Free plan includes timers, calendar views and personal reports, according to its pricing page on October 12, 2026. Staffic is also free for up to 3 members, and its Free plan adds keyboard and mouse activity levels and apps and URLs tracking.
Toggl Starter is $9 per user per month billed yearly, or $12 billed monthly, and Premium is $16 or $24, according to Toggl's pricing page on October 12, 2026. Both come with a 30-day trial. Staffic Standard is $5.50 per user per month billed yearly ($1.00 during the current offer, until September 12, 2027).
No. Toggl says it doesn't take screenshots or record keystrokes, and calls this a deliberate decision. If you need screenshots, a Toggl Track alternative such as Staffic takes them on Standard and Elite while the timer runs, and each member sees their own.
Partly. Toggl's Windows and macOS apps record the apps and websites you use for over 10 seconds on a private timeline, and idle detection prompts you when the timer runs with no computer activity. Toggl doesn't list keyboard and mouse activity levels, which Staffic records on every plan.
Toggl says its security is independently audited and that your team's data stays your team's. Its desktop activity data stays private to each user, who decides what becomes a time entry. Staffic records more, such as screenshots and apps and URLs while the timer runs, and members can see their own records.
Hubstaff does and Toggl doesn't. Hubstaff includes screenshots on every plan, limited on Starter, which is $4.99 per seat billed yearly with a 2-seat minimum; Toggl rules screenshots out. Both facts come from their pricing pages on October 12, 2026.
