Sage HR vs Toggl Track

Sage HR is a cloud-based tool for managing, tracking, and supporting employees. Modules cover Core HR, Leave Management, Timesheets, Shift Scheduling, Expenses, Performance, and Recruitment. Core HR includes employee profiles, onboarding and offboarding tasks, workflows, documents, reports, announcements, compensation, training, and asset tracking. Leave Management provides policies, online requests and approvals, shared calendars, and reports. The service connects with Google or Outlook calendars, Slack, and other systems through a public REST API. iOS and Android apps support time off, timesheets, expenses, documents, and goals; trackable documents can be viewed there but uploaded only through the web portal. Sage HR Essentials is free when included with Sage Payroll, while module trials last 30 days except with that integration. Listed prices include Core HR plus Leave Management at £4.60 per month, Timesheets, Performance, and Shift Scheduling at 2.30 GBP each, Expenses at 1.15 GBP, and Recruitment at £170 a month.

Toggl Track records work time against projects, clients, and teams. Time can be entered with manual timers or tracked in the background, and offline tracking is supported. Reports can be filtered, grouped, and broken down by project, client, and team. The product supports project tracking, billable time, and timesheet approvals. Access is available through the web, desktop apps for Windows and macOS, mobile apps for Android and iOS, and browser extensions. Listed integrations include Jira, Asana, Notion, Slack, calendars, API, and MCP. Toggl says it records work duration and purpose without monitoring screens, keystrokes, webcams, browsing history, or location. The Free plan is for a limited number of users and includes manual and real-time timers, focus mode, calendar integrations, tasks, boards, estimates, and personal reports. Starter costs $9 a month, and Premium costs $16 a month; both list annual pricing and a 30-day trial. The trial can be canceled at any time.
