How Rinkta is different

## Three things Toggl Track was never built to do

Toggl Track is a great timer. Rinkta is what happens when you stop needing one.

Capture

### Your team keeps using Asana. Rinkta watches.

Rinkta plugs into your work tools via OAuth and captures tasks as they get completed. No timer, no clicker, no nudge. Your team works the way they already work, and the billable record builds itself in the background.

Bill

### From completed work to a client-ready invoice — in one click

Toggl exports hours. Rinkta generates the invoice. Per-client rates, currencies, taxes, and line items are all stored once and reused every billing cycle. Review, adjust, send.

See profit

### Find out which clients are actually paying you

Every entry knows its cost and its rate, so Rinkta shows you real-time profitability per client, per project, and per team member. Find the revenue leaks before they kill the month.

Switching is easy

## What you keep, what you stop doing

Asana, ClickUp, Linear, Basecamp, GitHub, Notion — Rinkta connects to them. No migration.

Export invoices to PDF and feed them into QuickBooks, Xero, or your accounting system.

Your team stops logging hours. The hours show up anyway. Friday afternoons are yours again.

End-of-month invoice archaeology is over. Open Rinkta, review, send. Done.

No screenshots, no idle detection, no surveillance. Your team will thank you.

Real-time profitability per client and project. No more end-of-quarter surprises.

FAQ

## Switching from Toggl Track to Rinkta

<details>

<summary>

How is Rinkta different from Toggl Track?

◀</summary>



Toggl Track is a manual time tracker — your team starts and stops timers. Rinkta is an automatic billable-hours engine for agencies — it captures completed tasks from the tools your team already uses (Asana, GitHub, Linear, Slack, ClickUp, Basecamp, Notion), estimates billable time with AI, and turns those hours into client-ready invoices in one click. It also surfaces profitability per client and project. Toggl tracks time. Rinkta runs the billing side of an agency.

</details>

<details>

<summary>

Can I switch from Toggl Track to Rinkta without losing data?

◀</summary>



Yes. You can export your historical Toggl time entries as CSV and import them into Rinkta for continuity. Going forward, you don't need to migrate workflows — Rinkta connects to your existing PM tools and starts capturing new entries automatically. Most agencies are running fully on Rinkta within a coffee break.

</details>

---

<details>

<summary>

Is Rinkta cheaper than Toggl Track for an agency?

◀</summary>



It depends on team size. Toggl Track Starter is $10/user/month, so a 10-person agency pays $100/month and a 20-person agency pays $200/month. Rinkta is flat-rate per workspace — $99/month for the Team plan, $199/month for Studio, $399/month for Agency. For teams of 10+, Rinkta is typically cheaper even before counting the time saved on invoicing.

</details>

---

<details>

<summary>

Does Rinkta replace my accounting software?

◀</summary>



No. Rinkta replaces the messy middle — time capture, hour estimation, invoice generation. You still keep QuickBooks, Xero, or whatever accounting system you use. Rinkta hands off clean, formatted invoices for your books.

</details>

---

<details>

<summary>

Does Rinkta monitor my team or take screenshots?

◀</summary>



Never. Rinkta doesn't take screenshots, log keystrokes, monitor idle time, or watch what your team is doing. It only sees what your work tools already share — completed tasks, closed issues, finished sprints — and turns those into billable entries. Your team doesn't even need a Rinkta login to be tracked.

</details>

---

<details>

<summary>

What if the AI hour estimates are wrong?

◀</summary>



You review every entry before invoicing. The AI gives you a starting estimate based on task complexity and your historical patterns; you can adjust it before approving. Over time the estimates get sharper as Rinkta learns your team. You're always in control of what goes on the invoice.

</details>

---

<details>

<summary>

Who shouldn't use Rinkta?

◀</summary>



Solo freelancers and 2–4 person teams with very simple billing — the $99/month entry point may be more than you need. Large enterprises (50+) usually want Productive, Scoro, or Kantata. And if your team doesn't bill by time or project at all (pure product company, fixed-fee retainer with no hour tracking), the profitability features won't add much.

</details>

## When to choose Rinkta

- You run an agency or studio billing clients by the hour or by project
- Your team already lives in Asana, ClickUp, GitHub, Linear, or Basecamp
- You want invoices generated automatically from completed work, not pieced together from timesheets
- You need profitability by client and project, not just hour totals
- You hate timers and refuse to install monitoring software on your team

## When to choose Toggl

- Solo freelancer who logs time manually and exports to a spreadsheet
- You need a Pomodoro-style timer and don't mind starting it
- Your billing already runs cleanly in QuickBooks/Xero and you just need raw hour counts
- You bill by time only and don't need profitability or invoice generation
- Budget under $99/month and team under 3 people
