One Zapier trigger uses 30 API calls so need to find alternative to toggl

[Dan_Robinson]

I am happy to pay for a toggl plan in order to use the Zapier integration. But the limits are ridiculous. I have one zapier action triggered whenever a toggl time entry is created. Every time that triggers, the API usage on my profile page shows it has used THIRTY API calls. So if I do this a mere 8 times a day, I will go over the starter limit. I’m not using this for anything exotic. I’m not in some big company. I’m a freelancer who needs to track his time in another tool so I use toggl and it goes to another tool. But I will often do more than 8 things in a day. There is no way I’m paying $18 a month for the premium plan for a simple time clock — Especially since it will still probably exceed the 600 quota on some days if I happen to do 20 things! Crazy that they would push out loyal users like this - I’m positive there is some free open source alternative that will do the same thing, and I’m on my way to find it.
