## Why teams look for an alternative to Toggl

See how each tool handles timesheet approvals, capacity planning, and custom roles.

### Timesheet approvals need Toggl Premium

Toggl's timesheet approvals start on the Premium plan, at $16 per user per month, billed annually. Each timesheet goes through a single approval level.

### Timesheet approvals on every Beebole plan

Admins approve timesheets on every Beebole plan, including Free. Paid plans add several approval steps, such as manager, then project lead, then finance, each needing one approver or all.

[See timesheet approvals](https://beebole.com/timesheet.md)

### Toggl's short-term capacity planning

On paid plans, Toggl's timeline shows capacity for the current week and month. Seeing capacity further ahead requires the Capacity Management add-on, at $5 per user per month, billed annually.

### Resource planning on every Beebole plan

### Toggl custom roles only on Enterprise

Custom roles are only available on Toggl's Enterprise plan, and Toggl's team has to set them up for you. Other plans use fixed access levels.

### Custom roles you set up yourself

Admins can create unlimited roles and choose what each one can view or edit, from timesheets to billing rates. Available on Advanced, or on Essential with an add-on.

[See custom roles](https://beebole.com/advanced-configurations.md)


## Three more reasons to pick Beebole over Toggl

Flexible billing and budgets, suggested time entries, and lock dates for closed periods.

- Billing and budgets

Bill by the hour, day, or fixed fee, including monthly retainers. Split [budgets by person or project](/project-financials.md), and compare planned and logged time. Budgets and costs are on Advanced, or Essential with an add-on.

- AI time entries

[Beebole AI suggests entries](/timesheet.md) from your plan, your habits, Kanban moves, the desktop app, the browser extension, and AI assistants you connect. Accept, edit, or dismiss each one. Beebole's AI runs on its own servers.

- Timesheet lock dates

Lock past periods so no one can change them, not even an admin. When time has been billed and accounted for, it stays secure. [DCAA settings](/security.md) also limit other timesheet edits to the entry's owner or an administrator.
