Toggl Plan vs. Toggl Track
Although both products are part of the Toggl ecosystem, they solve different problems.
| Toggl Plan | Toggl Track |
|---|---|
| Plans future work | Tracks completed work |
| Manages schedules and timelines | Records time spent on tasks |
| Assigns work to team members | Generates reports and timesheets |
| Focuses on project planning | Focuses on time tracking |
Many teams use the two together, one to plan projects and the other to measure how long the work actually takes.
Should You Use Both?
If you regularly manage projects, combining planning with time tracking can provide valuable insights.
For example, you can:
- Compare planned time with actual time.
- Improve future estimates.
- Balance team workloads.
- Identify projects that take longer than expected.
Planning and tracking together often lead to better project management.
