Where Tideoo shines
From time report to confirmed payment
Toggl's invoices are PDFs; the chasing happens elsewhere. Tideoo tracks every invoice's status, lets clients report payments with proof, and confirms them with one click.
A free plan that invoices
Tideoo Free includes invoicing for your first 3 clients and 5 invoices a month — time tracking included. Upgrade to a paid plan from Solo when you are ready.
Client credit for retainers
Keep a retainer on file as client credit and apply it to invoices as you go — partially or in full — with a transparent ledger behind every movement.
Seats included for your team
Per-license tools multiply by every member. Tideoo plans include 1, 3 or 10 seats — and extra seats cost a flat per-seat rate only when you need them.
Pricing, side by side
Seats included. Extra only when you grow.
Every Tideoo plan bundles seats for your team, and you add more only when you need them — no per-seat minimums, no revenue share, and a 14-day trial for $3 on paid plans.
