Leantime vs Toggl Track
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Leantime and Toggl Track — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Leantime vs Toggl Track: at a glance
What is Leantime?
Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.
Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.
What is Toggl Track?
Toggl's tracked feed is its comparison blog, not the Toggl Track changelog.
Toggl's tracked feed is its blog — almost entirely 'X vs Y' and 'best alternatives' comparison posts across the time-tracking category (Jira tools, Tempo, Harvest, Hubstaff, Clockify, QuickBooks Time). None of the entries describe a change to Toggl Track. Product direction is not observable from this feed.

Leantime
5.0PM
Leantime swaps role ranks for real permissions and syncs with your calendar app.
◆ Current state
Leantime moved from 3.10 to 3.14 between October and 10 November. v3.14.0 replaces role-rank checks with specific permission checks across projects, timesheets, users, API keys, to-dos, milestones and sprints, and opens the calendar to plugins; a new CalDAV plugin syncs both ways with Nextcloud, Radicale and Apple Calendar. Earlier releases added mobile push, per-project modules, global search and self-updating plugins.
◆ Where it's heading
The release cadence is roughly one feature version every two weeks, split between finer access control and a plugin marketplace that carries more functionality. Core changes increasingly exist to give plugins stable hooks, as the calendar rework shows.
◆ Prediction
Expect more marketplace plugins built on the new calendar and permission hooks, and further permission work extending to the remaining modules.
Toggl's tracked feed is its comparison blog, not the Toggl Track changelog.
◆ Current state
Toggl's tracked feed is its blog — almost entirely 'X vs Y' and 'best alternatives' comparison posts across the time-tracking category (Jira tools, Tempo, Harvest, Hubstaff, Clockify, QuickBooks Time). None of the entries describe a change to Toggl Track. Product direction is not observable from this feed.
◆ Where it's heading
Output is dense, repetitive SEO content engineered for competitor- and category-intent search. This is a marketing cadence, not a product release cadence; the recurring comparison format signals organic-acquisition strategy rather than product investment. The actual roadmap cannot be read here.
◆ Prediction
Expect more comparison and alternatives posts on the same keyword themes; a real product signal would require crawling Toggl Track's release notes instead of the blog.
