Harvest
Time tracking, invoicing and expenses for client service teams, free for one seat, with Teams from $9/seat/mo billed annually.
From $9/seat/mo Free tier 30-day free trial API
Bottom line
Time tracking tool for client service firms that bill by the hour and want invoicing built in. It is free for one seat and two projects; Teams starts at $9 per seat a month billed annually for unlimited seats, invoicing and accounting links, and Enterprise at $14 adds profitability reports, timesheet approvals and SSO.
Stands out for: Invoicing is part of the core product rather than an add on: tracked time and expenses become invoices, and payments and accounting connect to Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Deel. The 30 day trial includes Enterprise features like profitability reporting and approvals, and no card is taken.
Watch out for: The base seat price is not the whole bill: additional invoices, projects, clients and tasks are charged on usage as a team grows, so model the cost before rolling it out. Timesheet approvals and profitability reports are Enterprise only, and SAML SSO cannot be tested during the trial.
Overview
Harvest is a time tracking, invoicing and expense tool for teams that bill their time to clients.
Staff track time with timers or timesheets on web, desktop, Mac and iOS apps and log expenses as they go. Teams adds unlimited seats, team reporting, capacity tracking, invoicing, and accounting and payment integrations with Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Deel.
Enterprise adds unlimited custom reports, profitability reporting by client, project, task and team, timesheet approvals, an activity log of every entry and change, required notes on time entries and SAML SSO. Enterprise Plus adds custom integrations, white labelling and assisted migration.
Pricing starts with a free plan for one seat and two projects. Teams is $9 per seat a month billed annually and Enterprise $14, with monthly billing at $11 and $17.50 and usage charges for extra invoices, projects, clients and tasks. Annual billing saves 20%.
