Two well-known time trackers, each with its strengths. We compare Toggl Track and Harvest fairly, then introduce a European alternative built for teams and AI agents.
No credit card
Toggl Track is known for its instant learning curve and the quality of its reports. Starting a timer takes one click, and work is organized with projects and tags.
The free plan covers up to 5 users, making it a solid choice for freelancers and very small teams. Beyond that, expect around $9 per user per month.
Harvest stands out for its mature built-in invoicing: time tracking, expenses and invoice generation in one tool, which appeals to agencies and consultants.
Its free plan is more limited (1 user, 2 projects), and the paid plan sits around $11 to $12 per seat per month.
Rytmely structures time by Client → Project → Label, a finer hierarchy than plain projects and tags. Data is hosted in Europe, in compliance with GDPR, and the interface is available in French.
Rytmely is also the only one of the three to expose a native MCP API: your AI agents can start, stop and list timers directly. The Solo plan is free with unlimited clients and projects; the Team plan is 8 € per user per month.
