Product lines and extensions
Toggl Track Starter offers four subscription models that differ in features and price. ZEP is also organized into product lines: ZEP Track includes project time tracking, client management and absences, and Resource Planning and Ticketing System can be added as add-ons. If you need budgets, planning or invoices, you switch to a higher product line within the same system.
Time tracking and project time tracking
Both systems offer intuitive time tracking features for projects and activities. ZEP Track also supports working time tracking by clocking in and out, including compliance with statutory break rules. Break times and individual working hours can be configured flexibly.
Leave management
Toggl Track does not offer leave management. ZEP Track, on the other hand, lets you submit and approve leave requests, ensuring a cross-team overview of absences.
Feature scope
ZEP Track adds Resource Planning to the booked hours as an add-on. Travel Expense Management is available from ZEP Operations up, Document Management in ZEP Business. This way, ZEP grows with you in the same system. Toggl Track Starter is less flexible in its range of features.
Locations & Departments
ZEP Track maps locations and departments, and parent and subsidiary companies are added with ZEP Business. Toggl Track Starter does offer roles such as team lead or project lead, but no comprehensive support for larger company structures.
Target groups
Toggl Track Starter is aimed mainly at freelancers and smaller companies that value flexible time tracking. ZEP Track is also suitable for larger companies, as it supports more complex structures and a higher number of employees.
Support
Toggl Track Starter offers support by email and chat. ZEP Track adds phone support, enabling fast and personal problem solving.
Usability
Both solutions have desktop versions and mobile apps. While ZEP Track is available in German, Toggl Track Starter only supports English.
