Our take
Pick RescueTime if people who will stay on Lite while they read a first Focus / Other / Neutral column, then pay Focus at $7/mo annual — then Timesheets+Focus at $12 when they need client hours, not Toggl’s Free $0 timer first unless they want a start/stop desk. Pick Rize if freelancers and agencies who will use the 7-day trial, then stay on Basic at $9.99/month annual while they accept a first time entry — not Team
