Who should switch from ToolTime — and who should not?
Switching pays off if …
- You want to start without an annual commitment — ToolTime states a 12-month minimum term; dashandwerk.xhub is monthly cancellable.
- You need e-invoicing beyond Germany: XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X, in the Business plan across 34 countries.
- You want DATEV included at no surcharge — with us from Pro (€13); at ToolTime the direct DATEV integration is an add-on (€19/month).
- You want low entry costs: a free tier and Pro at €13, instead of €89 a month (SOLO, monthly billing).
Stay with ToolTime if …
- You need deep measuring and mobile time tracking from a mature product — here ToolTime is established.
- AI voice documentation for the site matters to you — ToolTime offers 'Echo'; our documentation is classic.
- You want integrated card payment — ToolTime Pay offers that (from 1% transaction fee); we currently don't.
- You don't want to use an early-access product. dashandwerk.xhub is new to the market — in return, your feedback feeds directly into development.

How we compared
Every statement about the competitor comes solely from their public first-party sources (pricing and feature pages) with a retrieval date — we don't estimate and never claim an absence without evidence. Our own entries reflect only what DasHandwerk.xhub can actually do today. And yes: we're a party — which is why we openly state above who shouldn't switch.
What the criteria mean
- E-invoicing
- E-invoicing: does the software create and receive standard-compliant XRechnung/ZUGFeRD? Receiving has been mandatory in B2B since 2025.
- Accounting & DATEV
- Accounting & export: do the numbers reach the tax advisor cleanly (e.g. DATEV/SIE export, GoBD-compliant immutability)?
- Trade workflow
- Trade features: does it cover the day-to-day — quote, job, appointment, work log, mobile capture?
- Prices (net)
- Price: what does a productive entry cost per month, and what is really included?
- Term & cancellation
- Cancellation & lock-in: monthly cancellable or annual commitment?
- Add-ons
- Extra costs: surcharges/add-ons for core features — or everything included?
