The European, GDPR-ready alternative to Toggl

Why look for a Toggl alternative?

Toggl Track is a great timer, loved for its simplicity. But its vendor is based outside the European Union and hosts data in the United States, which raises questions for agencies and consultancies bound by GDPR.

Rytmely offers the same ease of use, with hosting in Europe and GDPR compliance by design. You stay in control of your client data without giving up a smooth experience.

• Data hosted in Europe
• GDPR compliance by design
• Fully localized interface

A real Client → Project → Label structure

Toggl organizes time by projects and tags. That works for simple use, but gets limiting when you bill several clients across many projects.

Rytmely adds a native Client → Project → Label hierarchy. Your reports mirror your invoicing directly: every hour is tied to the right client, project and task type.

• Unlimited clients and projects, even on the free plan
• Labels shared across the whole team
• Reports ready for time-based billing

An MCP API built for AI agents

This is the key difference: Rytmely exposes a native MCP API. Your AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Codex) can start and stop their own timers automatically while they work.

Toggl does not offer an MCP integration for AI agents. If your team automates part of its work, Rytmely captures that time with no manual effort.

• MCP tools: start, stop and list timers
• Multiple agent timers running in parallel
• 200 MCP calls per month included on the free plan

Free to start, transparent to scale

Rytmely's Solo plan is free for one user, with unlimited clients and projects. Move up to Team for 8 € per user per month, or Scale at 16 € per user per month.

Toggl's free plan covers up to 5 users, then paid entry starts around $9 per user per month. Compare based on your team size.
