Tempolio vs Toggl Track: the time tracker that also sends the invoice

Toggl Track is excellent at time tracking but has no built-in invoicing, so freelancers pair it with a second tool to bill. Tempolio does both: hours tracked against a project become a PDF invoice in one click. Tempolio is free during beta; Toggl's paid plans start around $10/month.

Can you invoice from Toggl Track?

No. Toggl Track has no built-in invoicing. It tracks time extremely well and exports detailed reports, but to actually bill a client you export those hours and rebuild them as an invoice somewhere else — FreshBooks, Wave, a spreadsheet, or a template. That handoff is the gap Tempolio closes: in Tempolio the hours you tracked against a project become the line items of the invoice, in one click.

How to migrate from Toggl to Tempolio

Tempolio imports your Toggl Track history from Toggl's Detailed Report CSV export. Your time entries, their dates, durations, billable flags, and project assignments all come across. You decide how each Toggl project maps onto a Tempolio project during the import.

Step by step

  1. In Toggl Track, go to Reports → Detailed, set the date range you want to bring over, and export it as CSV. It has to be the Detailed report — Tempolio checks the file for Toggl's specific columns and will reject a summary or weekly export.
  2. In Tempolio, open Settings → Import data → Time entries from Toggl Track. (The same importer is available from the Time view.)
  3. Drop the CSV in. Tempolio reads every unique project name in the file and shows you a list.
  4. Map your projects. For each Toggl project you choose one of three things: create a new Tempolio project with the same name, map it onto a Tempolio project you already have, or import the entries with no project attached. Where a Toggl project name already matches one of yours, Tempolio pre-selects it for you.
  5. Confirm. Your entries appear in the Time view.

What transfers, and what doesn't

Each Toggl entry becomes a Tempolio time entry with its start time, end time, duration, billable flag, and description (which lands in the entry's notes). Project assignment follows whatever mapping you chose in step 4.

Tasks do not transfer. Toggl's task-level breakdown is not imported — entries attach to a project, not to a task within it.

Duplicate entries are skipped: if an entry with the same start time and description already exists inside the date range of the file you're importing, Tempolio leaves it alone. You can re-run an import without doubling your hours.

Importing cannot be undone, so if you're moving a large history, run a short date range first and check the result before doing the full export.

Frequently asked questions

Can you invoice from Toggl Track?

Not natively. Toggl Track only tracks time. To bill a client you have to export your tracked hours as a report and create the invoice in a separate tool, or connect Toggl to another invoicing app.

Is Tempolio really free?

Yes. As of July 2026 Tempolio is completely free to use, with no credit card and no subscription, because paid plans have not been turned on yet.

Can I import my Toggl data into Tempolio?

Yes. Tempolio includes a CSV importer for Toggl, so you can bring your tracked time and project data over instead of starting from zero.
