Toggl is an easy time tracker. When your hours have to end up on purchase orders and EN 16931 e-invoices, Consulting Cockpit keeps the whole way from contract to invoice in one place.
Hours leave the tracker as a CSV or PDF and are typed into an invoicing tool, every month, for every client.
The client released 200 hours on an order. Nobody sees that 190 are used until the invoice is rejected.
German business clients ask for EN 16931 invoices, and a PDF from a spreadsheet does not count.
Someone edits an entry after the invoice went out, and the timesheet no longer matches what the client paid.
Time tracking stays simple; what comes after it is built in.
A live timer or hours drawn on a week calendar. Several timers can run at once, one per client, and every entry is billable or not.
Each client gets a framework agreement with purchase orders, each with a cap, period and rate. Hours are matched to the valid order, which shows what is used and left.
Pick the client and the date range. Completed billable hours are pulled in and locked, and the PDF lists every consultant's days.
One button on the timesheet builds the invoice draft. It is checked against EN 16931 and issued in ZUGFeRD.
Toggl details from its own website, checked on 30 Sep 2026: pricing, about, privacy policy, invoicing. Prices and plans change; check theirs before you decide.
An honest list, so you can decide quickly.
Toggl is free for a limited number of users. We offer a 30-day trial, then a paid plan.
Toggl plans capacity on timelines with milestones. We record and bill the work that is done; we do not plan future bookings.
Toggl connects to Jira, Asana and many more tools. GitHub is our only connection so far.
Toggl Premium reports profitability and handles fixed-fee projects. We report utilisation and billable hours per consultant and revenue per month, not margin per project.

Yes, Toggl OÜ is based in Tallinn, Estonia, and its privacy policy (September 2026) says some service providers may be in the United States. Consulting Cockpit stores data only within the EU/EEA, with European providers, and turns hours into e-invoices in the same tool.
In September 2026 Toggl's invoicing page described exporting billable hours as CSV or PDF for the invoicing tool you already use. In Consulting Cockpit a timesheet becomes an EN 16931 e-invoice in ZUGFeRD without leaving the tool.
With annual billing, Toggl listed Starter at $9 and Premium at $16 per user a month in September 2026, plus a free plan for a limited number of users. Consulting Cockpit costs €69 a month for up to 5 users or €149 for up to 20, billed annually, without VAT, with every feature on every plan.
Yes. Each purchase order has a cap, period and hourly rate; hours are matched to the valid order, and when the cap is reached new hours move to the next valid order under the same agreement.
