Switching from Clockify to Toggl Track

Toggl has no Clockify-specific importer, so the move runs through Toggl’s generic CSV importer. Expect to pay more per seat and gain planning tools.

Bottom line up front: Should we switch from Clockify to Toggl Track?

Not until the usage data, not a show of hands, proves nobody relies on Clockify's kiosk, GPS, screenshots or invoicing, because Toggl's current plans list none of them.

If nobody does, you're paying more for planning: Toggl Starter is $9 a user on annual billing against $3.99 to $7.99 for most Clockify plans, and SSO comes on Premium ($16) instead of Enterprise. The move is manual, since Toggl has no Clockify-specific importer, so you reformat the Detailed report to Toggl's CSV template and rebuild rates and approvals by hand. I'd check the data because the people who depend on a kiosk or an invoice run are usually front-line staff and the bookkeeper, not whoever is in the room choosing the tool. Pull the last few months of kiosk clock-ins and sent invoices, and if either shows real use, name its replacement before you sign.

Heads up: Toggl now sells Toggl Track inside its unified Toggl plans (time tracking plus planning). Prices here are the ones new customers see on toggl.com/pricing, checked September 19, 2026. Existing Toggl Track accounts keep their current plans.

    Why teams move from Clockify to Toggl Track

    Planning in the same tool

    Toggl’s plans add timelines, milestones, PTO and capacity to time tracking.

    No monitoring

    Toggl states it does not take screenshots or track location.

    SSO below Enterprise

    Toggl includes single sign-on on Premium.

    How the migration actually works

    Check who relies on Clockify’s kiosk, GPS or screenshots first: Toggl lists none of these.

    StepWhat you do
    1Export your Clockify dataExport the Detailed report over the longest date range to CSV or Excel (Basic and up; PDF only on Free). Owners can also export a year of time entries at a time from Workspace settings, then Data export.
    2Reformat for TogglMap Clockify’s columns to Toggl’s CSV import template (user email, project, client, description, start date and time, duration).
    3Set up Toggl and invite usersChoose Starter ($9 a user, annual) or Premium ($16) and invite the team before importing.
    4ImportAn admin imports time entries, projects, clients, tasks and tags with Toggl’s CSV importer; tasks need a paid plan.
    5Recreate rates and approvalsSet billable rates on Starter; turn on approvals and SSO on Premium.
    6Replace kiosk and invoicing workflowsIf you used Clockify’s kiosk or invoicing, decide what replaces them before cancelling.

    What this path doesn’t do for you:

    There is no Clockify-specific importer; the CSV needs reformatting. Kiosk clock-in, GPS, screenshots and invoicing have no equivalent on Toggl’s current plans.

    Before you cut over

    • Set up single sign-on in Toggl Track on Premium before you invite the team, so accounts are created through your identity provider rather than by hand.
