Chaser vs Toggl
Toggl is great for tracking time and sending invoices. Chaser is great for getting those invoices paid.
Toggl Track and Toggl Plan are loved by freelancers and small agencies for time tracking. But Toggl's invoicing feature has a blind spot: once an invoice is sent and ignored, you're on your own. No automated follow-up. No escalation. No reminder that fires itself.

Why Toggl users still have unpaid invoices
Toggl is one of the best time-tracking tools ever made. Its timer is simple, its reporting is powerful, and its invoice creation from time entries saves hours. Many solo freelancers use Toggl Track as their entire billing workflow.
But "sent" and "paid" are two very different things. Toggl creates the invoice — it doesn't chase it. When a client goes quiet, Toggl has no mechanism to send a day-7 follow-up, a day-14 urgent notice, or a day-30 final demand. That's all on you.
Chaser is the missing piece. Keep Toggl for time tracking. Add overdue invoices to Chaser, and the escalation sequence runs automatically until they pay.
