You are comparing two ways to put time tracking around Basecamp work. The practical question is simple: can your team track hours against Basecamp work, keep the entry tied to the right project or to-do, and turn those hours into usable reporting for billing, budgeting, or review? Basecamp remains the project workspace, with to-dos, messages, card tables, schedules, files, reports, and Hill Charts organizing the work.
Current Basecamp 5 also has native Timesheets. As of July 23, 2026, Timesheets are included in Pro Unlimited and available as a $50/month flat account add-on on other paid packages. Basecamp Timesheets log date, hours worked, person, and optional notes, with project reports, cross-project reports, and CSV export. This comparison focuses on the layer beyond that native hours log.
Everhour embeds time-tracking controls into Basecamp through its browser extension. Invited Basecamp users who are connected to the Everhour team and have the extension can track time in the Basecamp web interface. Everhour syncs all Basecamp projects across teams and workspaces, updates renamed projects and to-dos, and reports on Basecamp project, to-do, list section, task number, and task status fields.
Toggl Track also uses a browser extension for Basecamp, available for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. The extension adds a start-timer link inside supported web apps, including Basecamp. When someone starts a timer from another app, Toggl can match an existing project name and add tags and a description. Toggl does not add tasks automatically.
Everhour's Basecamp integration is documented around projects, to-dos, and list sections. That boundary matters when the team bills or manages budget by the same to-do structure used for delivery. The documented model centers on Basecamp to-dos and tasks, with report fields for project names, to-do names, section or list names, task numbers, and task status.
Toggl's Basecamp workflow fits teams that want extension-based capture and already maintain the needed project structure in Toggl. Its paid-plan boundaries also matter during evaluation. Toggl Track lists billable rates and project time estimates with alerts as Starter features, while fixed-fee projects and timesheet approvals sit on Premium and Enterprise. That plan split affects teams comparing Basecamp time capture against billing, approval, and fixed-fee needs.
A one-off comparison is enough when the decision only covers basic timer placement, current plan cost, or whether project-name matching gives your team enough context. Basecamp's native Timesheets also cover straightforward hour logs with person, date, notes, reports, and CSV export when rate-based budget control is outside the job.
A managed workflow becomes the better fit when tracked Basecamp time must feed approvals, locked periods, budget alerts, invoicing review, or payroll review. Everhour Time Tracking supports timers and manual entries, then routes task and project hours into timesheets, reporting, budgeting, invoicing, and payroll review. Admins can approve timesheets, lock completed periods, send reminders, and configure timer behavior before the data leaves the tracking layer.

Both use a browser extension for Basecamp time capture. Everhour embeds timer and tracking controls into Basecamp for connected Everhour team members using the extension. Toggl Track adds a start-timer link in Basecamp through its Chrome, Edge, and Firefox browser extension.
Everhour syncs Basecamp projects, to-dos, and list sections into its reporting fields, including task number and task status. Toggl's extension can match an existing project name and add tags and a description, but Toggl does not add tasks automatically.
Basecamp native Timesheets work for logging date, hours worked, person, and optional notes, then reviewing project or cross-project totals and exporting CSV. An integration becomes relevant when the team needs rate-based budgets, billable rules, custom task rates, threshold alerts, approvals, or invoice-oriented reporting around Basecamp work.
Basecamp lists Free, Pro at $15 per user per month, and Pro Unlimited at $299/month billed annually. Basecamp Timesheets are included in Pro Unlimited and available as a $50/month flat add-on on other paid packages. Toggl Track lists Free, Starter at $9/license/month, Premium at $14/license/month for the first annual year renewing at $18, and Enterprise custom pricing.
A feature checklist gets misleading when it treats any timer as the full workflow. Compare the path from Basecamp work item to report: where the timer appears, whether tasks sync automatically, how rates and fixed fees work, where approvals happen, and whether budget alerts or protection are part of the setup.
Everhour Time Tracking captures Basecamp task and project hours through timers or manual entries, then feeds that time into timesheets, reports, budgets, invoices, and payroll review. Admin controls cover approvals, locked periods, reminders, and timer behavior before managers use the data.
Everhour can set Basecamp projects as billable, fixed fee, or non-billable, with task-level non-billable handling and custom rates. Budget alerts can fire at 50%, 80%, or custom thresholds, and budget protection can stop timers after the budget is exceeded.
Use Everhour Time Tracking when Basecamp hours need approval, locked periods, reminders, and billing-ready reporting after the timer stops, keeping project work connected to Everhour review workflows.
