That's $725 gone. And you don't own anything. Stop paying, lose access.
You're not the only one who's had enough.
Technical Writers face unique challenges: SME (subject matter expert) availability delays projects. Per-page vs. per-hour vs. per-project pricing confusion. Revision cycles when product changes during documentation. Managing multiple concurrent documentation projects. On top of all that, Toggl Track charges $18/month ($216/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median technical writer earns $58,000/year. Software at $216/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Authoring tools (MadCap Flare, DITA) is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Toggl Track is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
