Chaser vs Toggl Track

Toggl Track is the best time tracker in the business. But it wasn't built to chase overdue invoices. That's what Chaser does.

The Problem with Toggl's Invoicing

Toggl Track generates invoices from your time entries, which is convenient. But once that invoice is sent, Toggl's job is done. There's no automated follow-up, no escalation, no overdue tracking.

If your client doesn't pay, you're back to manually writing follow-up emails. Most freelancers hate this enough that they delay it — which means later payment, more awkwardness, and sometimes unpaid invoices that slip through the cracks.

Use Toggl to track time. Use Chaser to get paid.
