Toggl, Clockify or Everhour in Trello: What Works in 2026

The short answer (September 2026)

• Toggl: the Trello button is a legacy integration for Toggl Track, and Toggl doesn't support it for the new Toggl.
• Clockify: the official integration is a browser extension. The Clockify Power-Up in Trello's directory is made by a third party and costs extra.
• Everhour: two separate products. The app connects through an extension and is priced per seat (5-seat minimum). The Power-Up costs $10 a month per workspace.

If you haven't picked a tracker yet, Does Trello Have Time Tracking? covers every way to log hours, including free ones.

Three kinds of "integration", and why the difference shows up on your bill

A browser extension from the tracker. You install it in Chrome, Firefox or Edge and sign in. On trello.com it adds a timer button to cards, but only for people who installed it. Hours and reports live in the tracker's web app. Toggl Track, Clockify and the Everhour app work this way, and all three charge per seat on paid plans.

A Power-Up from the tracker's vendor. It is added to a board from Trello's directory, so members see its buttons and badges without installing anything. Of these three brands, only Everhour makes one. (Harvest and TimeCamp also make their own; see our Power-Up price comparison.)

A third-party bridge. "Toggl Integration for Trello" and "Clockify Integration for Trello" are Power-Ups by an independent developer, Oleksii Smargunov. They connect to your tracker account with an API token. You pay for the bridge by the number of boards and still pay for the tracker.

Email tools for Trello have a similar split between add-ons that live outside Trello and Power-Ups. We covered the Gmail side in The Trello Gmail Add-On: 7 Things It Can't Do.

Toggl and Trello: what the legacy button still does and who can use it

Toggl's Trello integration page now carries this notice: "This is a legacy integration for Toggl Track which we currently don't support for Toggl. If you're interested in using Trello with the new Toggl, let us know."

Toggl now sells a combined product called the new Toggl, and its pricing page says Toggl Track and Toggl Plan "remain available and supported for existing users". The Trello button belongs to Toggl Track. Toggl's blog tutorial, last updated June 21, 2024, has no legacy notice.

How the button works on a Toggl Track account

1. Install the Toggl Track extension (Chrome, Firefox or Edge) and log in.
2. In the extension's settings, open the Integrations tab and enable Trello. A 2018 Atlassian Community answer notes that the card button doesn't appear without permission for trello.com.
3. Refresh Trello, open a card and click the Toggl icon. In the popup, pick the client and project, add tags, mark it billable or not, and start the timer. The card name becomes the description.
4. See entries and export reports at track.toggl.com.

On Toggl's current pricing page, Free covers up to 3 users, and billable rates start on Starter at $9 per user per month billed yearly ($12 monthly). These are the new Toggl's plans, so a Toggl Track account may be on different terms.

The third-party Toggl Integration for Trello (5,000+ boards) adds a card-back timer, a badge while a timer runs, and automatic start/stop when a card moves to a chosen list. Billed yearly, it costs €2.50 a month for one board, €9 for up to five and €16 for unlimited (€3.50, €10 and €17 monthly), with a 5-day trial, on top of Toggl. We haven't tested whether its API token setup works with the new Toggl, so check during the trial.

Keep Toggl if your team already tracks in Toggl Track and uses the button daily. Your projects and history are there, and Toggl's desktop and mobile apps cover work outside Trello. If you are choosing a tracker today mainly for Trello, don't count on this button, since Toggl doesn't support it on the new Toggl.

Clockify and Trello: the extension, the third-party Power-Up and Free-plan limits

Clockify's Trello page describes one route, the browser extension. Clockify has no Power-Up of its own in the directory.

1. Create a Clockify account (Free is enough) and install the extension for Chrome, Firefox or Edge. Log in to the extension.
2. Open a Trello card. A Start timer button appears, with an Add time field for manual entries, and checklist items get their own button (Clockify's guide, updated January 2025).
3. If a Clockify project has the same name as the board, the extension selects it for you.
4. Edit entries and export reports in Clockify's web app.

If the button is missing, Clockify says to check that you are logged in to the extension, then restart Chrome.

The third-party Clockify Integration for Trello (10,000+ boards, same developer as the Toggl bridge) adds a card-back timer and card-front badges for the running timer and total time, and turns card labels into Clockify tags. It has the same €2.50 to €16 pricing and 5-day trial, on top of Clockify.

What Clockify Free covers and what costs extra

From Clockify's pricing, per seat per month billed yearly (monthly price in parentheses):

• Free: up to 5 users, reports limited to a 1-month range, PDF export only, no billable rates. Desktop and mobile apps and idle detection are included.
• Basic, $3.99 ($4.99): billable rates, time estimates, CSV and Excel exports.
• Standard, $5.49 ($6.99): invoices and timesheet approvals.
• Pro, $7.99 ($9.99): project budgets.

Every active or invited user takes a seat, owners and admins included.

Everhour and Trello: two products with two prices

The help page for Everhour's Power-Up ends by mentioning the Everhour app and adding: "Please note that this is a separate product and is not connected to the Power-Up." (Everhour support)

The Everhour app

Everhour's main tracker connects to 40+ tools. For Trello, you connect your account and install the browser extension, which adds time controls, a My timesheet button and a project summary inside Trello (Everhour's Trello page).

• Each teammate is invited by email, signs up and connects their own Trello account. Only people on your Everhour team with the extension see time data in Trello.
• Everhour's FAQ: "As of now, you can’t see the Everhour timer and other controls inside Trello desktop and mobile apps."
• Free (up to 5 seats) has no integrations, so Trello needs Team: $8.50 per seat per month billed yearly or $10 monthly, with a minimum of 5 seats. Only people who track need seats.
• You get project budgets with alerts at 50% and 80%, timers that stop when a budget is exceeded, and invoices exported to QuickBooks or Xero.

Time Tracking Power-Up by Everhour

The Power-Up launched in November 2023 and is used on 25,000+ boards. It works inside Trello without an Everhour account. Its feature page lists a timer and manual entries (admins can log time for others), a card badge with running timer, total and estimate, billable rates, card budgets, a dashboard, a report with saved views and CSV export, a timesheet, and a UI in English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish.

It costs $10 a month flat per workspace, charged in US dollars. An annual plan is offered at "a significantly discounted rate", with no amount published. After the 14-day trial (no card needed), you can view past data but not track. The free plan was discontinued in 2025, so videos calling it free are out of date. Per Everhour's roles article, observers get no reports, and cross-board reports only allow edits on the board you opened them from.

Choose the app if your team also tracks time in tools like Asana, GitHub or Jira, or needs budget alerts and invoices. Choose the Power-Up if all the work is in Trello and you want one flat price. Decide before the team starts logging, since the two aren't connected.

Side by side: button location, badge, reports, plan and cost

Prices are per month, billed yearly where both options exist. Extension buttons don't appear in Trello's desktop and mobile apps: Everhour says so for its app, and extensions only run in the browser. We haven't tested the Power-Ups here, ours included, in those apps.

What a team pays per month

List prices on September 15, 2026, billed yearly / billed monthly, one seat per person who tracks. €5 is about $5.78 at the ECB rate of September 14.

Add €2.50 to €16 a month billed yearly (€3.50 to €17 monthly) if you use a bridge Power-Up with Toggl or Clockify. That price depends on the number of boards, not people.

When a standalone tracker is the right call

• You track work outside Trello. The Everhour app connects to 40+ tools, and Toggl's extension works in 100+ web apps. If much of your work happens in tools like GitHub or Asana, one tracker across all of them is simpler than a Trello-only one.
• You want invoices. Clockify Standard and the Everhour app create them. We don't; you export hours and bill elsewhere (see Trello timesheets and billable hours).
• People work away from a browser. Clockify Free has desktop and mobile apps with idle detection, and Toggl offers idle detection in its extension and desktop apps. Our Power-Up has neither.
• Managers approve timesheets. Clockify Standard and Toggl Premium include approvals, and the Everhour app has them in My timesheet.
• Rates differ per person or task. Toggl sets rates per member or project, and Clockify per user, project or task. We have one rate per client.
• Your team is five people or fewer and doesn't bill clients. Clockify Free with its extension costs nothing, and its 1-month report range matters less when nobody invoices.

When a native Power-Up is simpler

If everything you track is already a Trello card, a Power-Up saves steps. Nobody installs an extension or needs a seat in a separate tracker. The timer, total and estimate show on the card front for the whole board. Reports group by boards, lists, labels and members. At 10 people, a flat Power-Up costs about $10 a month against $39.90 to $49.90 for Clockify Basic.

Everhour's Power-Up or ours

Ours is listed in the directory as "just another Time Tracker". Ours and Everhour's are the two flat-priced options in this post, and they are close on features. Ours costs less. (Limita is a third, in the full comparison.)

Choose Everhour's Power-Up if you value its longer track record (25,000+ boards against our new listing), need a UI in French, German, Portuguese or Spanish, or want admins to log time for other members. Ours is English only, and our admins can edit or delete anyone's entries on their boards but can't add one on someone's behalf.

Choose ours if these matter more:

• A published yearly price in euros: €5 a month or €50 a year for every board and member.
• Client rates that don't reprice old work: each client has one hourly rate, and each entry keeps the rate it was logged at.
• Money for admins only: board members see everyone's time, but rates, amounts, budgets and clients are shown only to board admins, enforced on our server and in exports. Everhour's docs don't say whether members see amounts.
• Exports for European Excel: CSV with a choosable separator and BOM, or XLSX (up to 25,000 rows).
• Forgotten timers: they stop after 4, 8, 12 or 24 hours (one workspace setting), and entries longer than a minute are kept exactly, without rounding.

The 5-day trial starts at the first tracked minute, and afterwards only new time is blocked. We haven't tested it in Trello's desktop or mobile apps, so use it in a browser. If you are moving from an extension tracker, export your history first; on Clockify Free that export is PDF only.
