Frequently Asked Questions

Does Toggl Track have real invoicing?

Toggl Track added basic invoicing to its Premium plan ($20/user/month), but it's limited — no AI generation, minimal templates, no online payments, and invoices are tied to time entries. InvoiceQuickly includes AI invoicing and 200+ templates on the free tier (5 invoices, 5 clients), with unlimited on paid plans.

Can I use both tools together?

Yes. Track your hours in Toggl Track (even the free plan), then describe the work in InvoiceQuickly's AI to create a professional invoice with 200+ templates. This gives you best-in-class time tracking and best-in-class invoicing.

Is Toggl Track overkill if I just need invoicing?

Yes. Paying $20/user/month for Premium just to access basic invoicing is hard to justify when InvoiceQuickly's free tier includes AI invoicing and 200+ templates for up to 5 invoices.

Does Toggl Track support online payments?

No. Toggl Track's invoicing doesn't include online payment collection. You'd need a separate payment solution. InvoiceQuickly has online payments coming soon via Stripe and PayPal.

What is InvoiceQuickly Autopilot?

Autopilot is the paid tier that automates incoming invoice processing — forward vendor invoices via email, Gmail/Outlook connection, or upload, and AI extracts data, validates it, detects duplicates, and pushes it to your accounting system. Plans start at $99/month for up to 500 invoices.
