Measurement
Track your budget through time or costs
Every report you need — configured your way, always up to date.
Tracked hours flow straight into a polished invoice — no copy-paste, no manual math.
Choose a Linear time layer by starting with the record you need after work is done. Linear issues have a team, title, and status, with optional fields such as assignee, priority, estimate, cycle, label, and project. Those fields organize work well, but the time layer determines who logs hours, who reviews them, and which records feed invoices or payroll checks.
Everhour's Linear integration adds timers, manual logging, estimates, reported time, and a day or week Timesheet button inside Linear through the browser extension. Toggl Track's official browser-extension material describes a general web workflow and a supported button-location list with no Linear entry. The practical question is whether your team needs Linear-specific embedded controls and approvals, or a broader browser-extension timer that can create entries from selected web text.
Linear estimates describe effort, not clock time. Teams can use Exponential, Fibonacci, Linear, or T-shirt scales, and Linear uses estimate values for completion and effort statistics in cycle and project graphs. Linear's documentation does not define a native conversion from estimate points into hours, hourly cost, or billable amount, so treating points as payable time creates a weak audit trail.
A clean setup keeps the Linear estimate as the planning input and the tracked time as the work record. Everhour syncs Linear workspace, project, issue, status, and tag data into reports, then adds reported time beside the issue. Toggl Track Starter includes billable rates, tasks, and project time estimates with alerts; Premium adds fixed fee projects, profitability analysis, scheduled reports, timesheet approvals, data accuracy features, customizable reports, Jira/Salesforce integrations, and SSO.
The main comparison point is where the timer and review workflow live. Everhour requires its browser extension for Linear, then places project total hours and estimates in the project header, adds issue-level timer and manual-log controls, and exposes a day or week timesheet from inside Linear. It also syncs active projects with issues from selected Linear workspaces.
Toggl's official browser-extension documentation lists 100+ supported tools, and its published button-location list contains no Linear entry. The extension can still create time entries from selected web text. For supported app buttons, Toggl matches an existing project name, adds tags and description, and does not add tasks automatically. That distinction matters when your reporting depends on Linear project, cycle, status, label, or member context.
A one-off tracking choice is enough when a freelancer or small team only needs a timer and a basic record of work. It also works for early evaluation, when the goal is to learn whether people will log time consistently before you standardize approvals, billing rates, and budget alerts across projects.
A managed Linear workflow needs more structure. Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let users submit time for review. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted entries. Admins can lock editing after a chosen period or after approval, which keeps reviewed hours ready for billing review, payroll review, reporting, budgets, and budget protection based on hours or fees.

Linear organizes issues, projects, cycles, and effort estimates. Its public docs and pricing do not document a native per-issue timer, manual hour log, timesheet, hourly rate field, project budget cap, or budget alert. For billing, you still need a separate time layer that records hours and connects those hours to rates, reports, and invoice review.
Everhour uses its browser extension to add tracking controls inside Linear. The integration shows project total hours and estimates, issue-level timers, estimates and reported time, timer and manual-log buttons, and a day or week Timesheet button. It also syncs Linear workspace, project, issue, status, and tag data so reports can follow the same work structure.
Toggl's official browser-extension documentation describes 100+ supported tools, but its published button-location list contains no Linear entry. The extension can still create entries from selected web text. For supported app buttons, Toggl matches an existing project name, adds tags and description, and does not add tasks automatically.
Linear lists Free at $0, Basic at $10 per user/month billed yearly, Business at $16 per user/month billed yearly, and Enterprise as custom annual billing. Everhour's Team plan is $8.50 per seat/month billed yearly, and its Free plan excludes integrations. Toggl Track lists Free at $0, Starter at $9, Premium at $14 for the first annual year before renewing at $18, and Enterprise custom.
The common mistake is mixing estimate points and logged hours as if they are the same unit. Linear effort estimates feed scope, completion, cycle, and project analytics. They do not become clock time by default. A reliable report keeps estimate values for planning and uses actual tracked time for billing, payroll review, budget checks, and profitability analysis.
Everhour Timesheets collect weekly project hours and working hours by person, then let users submit time for manager review. Managers can approve, reject, or partially approve submitted entries; admins can lock editing after a chosen period or after approval.
Everhour supports Linear project budgets in hours or fees, with notification thresholds chosen by admins. Budget protection can stop timers or prevent extra logging after a budget is exceeded, so tracked time from Linear issues stays connected to budget review.
Use Everhour Timesheets to collect weekly Linear project hours, route them through approval, and protect reviewed entries before billing or payroll review needs them.
