Quick answer
Toggl Track - Toggl Track wins for most builders because its free tier is more flexible for individuals and small teams, while Quidlo Timesheets is the better fit only if you specifically need a 10-user team plan with no card and unlimited timer usage.
How the free tiers compare
These two free tiers solve different problems. Quidlo Timesheets is a small-team starter pack: it gives you the core apps, unlimited projects, unlimited timer usage, and chat-based tracking, but the free tier is hard-capped at 10 users. That makes it feel like a trimmed version of a team product. Toggl Track is broader for solo users and smaller teams that want stronger reporting and more integrations on the free plan. It includes web, desktop, mobile, browser-extension integrations with 100+ tools, calendar integrations, reports, and export options, but the free plan is limited to a smaller user count and loses access after 6 months of inactivity. After free, Toggl scales by seat at relatively low entry prices, while Quidlo jumps to a much higher flat Pro price, so the cost paths diverge sharply once a team grows.

| Apps includedBoth cover core apps; Toggl adds browser extension access. | Web, mobile, desktop | Web, desktop, mobile, browser extension |

After you outgrow the free tier
Quidlo Timesheets moves from free to a flat Pro plan at $3929/month billed monthly, with annual billing saving 25%, then to custom pricing. Toggl Track uses per-seat pricing: Starter at $9/user/month and Premium at $18/user/month, with Enterprise on custom pricing. For a single user, Toggl is far cheaper; for a small team, it stays cheaper until team size becomes very large, while Quidlo’s pricing jumps immediately to a high flat rate. That makes Toggl the easier path for incremental growth, and Quidlo the higher-commitment team switch.

Bottom line
For the most common builder use case, Toggl Track is the better pick. It gives you more breadth on the free plan, stronger reporting and integration options, and a paid upgrade path that starts at a normal per-seat price. Quidlo Timesheets only wins if your priority is keeping a small team on one free workspace with unlimited projects and unlimited timer use, and you are willing to accept a much steeper paid jump later.
