Frequently Asked Questions
? Is Ever Gauzy easy to self-host?
Yes—Ever Gauzy uses Docker Compose for deployment. You need Docker installed, then pull the official image, configure basic environment variables (like database credentials), and run the setup script. The GitHub repo provides step-by-step guides for self-hosting.
? How does Ever Gauzy compare to Toggl Track?
Ever Gauzy is a more comprehensive alternative: it adds project management, invoicing, and HR tools to time tracking, unlike Toggl’s focus on time alone. It’s open-source, so you can self-host and control your data—something Toggl (proprietary) doesn’t offer.
? Is Ever Gauzy completely free to use?
The self-hosted open-source version is free with no licensing fees. The managed cloud tier has free and paid plans: free for small teams, while paid plans unlock advanced features like team analytics, priority support, and larger storage limits.
