The honest Toggl Track alternative for small teams
Lyto is a Toggl Track alternative for teams of one to ten people who are tired of a time tracker that only tracks time. Lyto Tally records billable hours inside one suite with CRM, invoicing, helpdesk and tasks, at €13 per seat per month — €10 billed annually, and those hours flow straight into an invoice. Toggl Track's Starter is $9 per user and Premium $18 (July 2026), for time tracking alone. Lyto is the suite that turns tracked time into paid invoices.

Why look past Toggl Track at one to ten people?
Toggl Track is an excellent time tracker, and that is precisely its limit for a small business. Tracking hours is rarely the goal — getting paid for them is. With Toggl, the tracked time has to leave the tool to become money: exported or synced into a separate invoicing app, tied back to a client who lives in a separate CRM. The $9 seat is cheap, but it is one subscription in a small stack a services team assembles around it — tracker, billing, CRM, tasks — each with its own login and none of them talking without an integration.
For a consultancy or agency billing by the hour, those seams are where time leaks and revenue slips.
How is Lyto Tally different?
Tally is the time-tracking app inside the Lyto suite, built for one-to-ten-person teams that bill for their hours:
- Hours become invoices. Tracked time flows into a Sum invoice for the right client — no export, no sync, no second tool.
- The client is right there. The person you are billing lives in Pipeline on the same shared record, not in a separate CRM.
- One connected suite. CRM, invoicing, helpdesk, tasks and reporting sit beside the tracker under one login.
- Flat per-seat pricing. €13 per seat, or €10 billed annually — time tracking plus the other six apps.
Where is Toggl still the better pick?
If you want the deepest standalone tracking and reporting, a big library of integrations, or you simply track time and never bill it, Toggl’s specialist depth is real and its free tier is hard to argue with. Lyto is not trying to out-track a dedicated tracker; it wins when tracked time needs to become an invoice and a client record without leaving the tool.
What does the suite change day to day?
Stop a timer in Tally and the hours are ready to bill in Sum, against the client you manage in Pipeline, with the task they belong to in Workstream. One login, one shared record, one flat bill — the whole path from tracked hour to paid invoice, instead of a tracker that hands its data to the next app and hopes.
Questions people ask about switching
Toggl Track has a free tier — why pay for Lyto?
Toggl's free tier is a genuinely good standalone tracker for up to five users, and if pure time tracking is all you need, use it. Lyto is for the team that also needs to bill those hours, manage the clients behind them and run the rest of the business. Rather than pairing free Toggl with a separate CRM and invoicing tool, Lyto puts tracking, billing and CRM in one €13 seat, with the hours flowing straight to an invoice.
Does Lyto Tally track time as flexibly as Toggl?
For a small team's needs, yes — start and stop timers, log time against tasks and clients, and mark hours billable. Toggl has more reporting depth and integrations built up as a specialist tool. The difference is where the hours go next: in Lyto they feed a Sum invoice and the client's record in Pipeline directly, so tracking is the first step of getting paid rather than a data set you move elsewhere.
Can I turn tracked hours into an invoice in Lyto?
Yes, and it is the main reason to switch. Hours logged in Tally become billable line items on a Sum invoice for the client the work belongs to, without an export, a CSV or a sync. Toggl can track and report the time, but sending it as an invoice means moving it into another tool; Lyto keeps the whole path from timer to paid invoice inside one login.
