Akiflow vs Toggl Track

Akiflow is a desktop and mobile planner built around one idea: pull every task into a single inbox, then time-block it on your calendar. It imports tasks from Gmail, Slack, Notion, Asana, Jira, Todoist, ClickUp, Trello and other tools, so requests that arrive in a Slack thread or a starred email do not get lost across separate apps.

The core workflow runs through a keyboard-driven command bar: capture a task from anywhere, triage the inbox, drag items onto Google or Outlook calendars and reschedule with shortcuts. Daily and weekly planning rituals guide you through reviewing what got done and what moves to tomorrow, booking links let others schedule time with you, and an AI assistant can create tasks and plan from natural language. There is no free plan; Akiflow sells a single Pro subscription after a trial, with a lower price for annual billing.

Akiflow fits knowledge workers, managers and founders whose work arrives through many channels and who already plan by time-blocking. It is less suited to casual to-do users or to teams looking for shared project management, since it is primarily a personal tool. Sunsama offers a calmer, more guided daily planning ritual at a similar price, Motion leans harder on automatic AI scheduling, and Todoist with a calendar view is far cheaper if you mainly need a task list. Akiflow's advantage is the breadth of its integrations combined with keyboard speed.

Toggl Track is a time tracking app from Toggl, a fully remote company founded in Estonia in 2006. It is built around one-click timers and manual entries that work the same on web, desktop, mobile and a browser extension that adds a timer button inside more than a hundred tools such as Asana, Jira, Trello, GitHub and Google Docs, so people record time where they already work.

Entries are organised by client, project, task and tag, with billable rates, project estimates and budgets that show profitability. Reports summarise hours by any dimension and can be shared or exported, while idle detection, reminders, calendar integration and an automatic background tracker help fill gaps. The free plan covers up to five users with core tracking; paid Starter and Premium plans are priced per user and add billable rates, project templates, timesheet approvals, fixed-fee projects, forecasting and more administration, with Enterprise for larger organisations. Toggl also makes other productivity apps alongside Track.

Toggl Track fits freelancers, agencies and consultancies that bill by the hour or need to understand where team time goes, and teams that want tracking people will actually use. Its invoicing is basic, producing PDF invoices from reports rather than acting as a billing system, advanced reporting is limited to paid tiers, per-user pricing adds up for larger teams, and it is intentionally not an employee monitoring tool. Clockify is a lower-cost alternative, Harvest includes invoicing and expenses, and Timely focuses on automatic tracking.
