Harvest

Time tracking with built-in invoicing and expenses for service firms

Overview

Harvest is time-tracking and invoicing software for agencies, consultancies and other firms that bill by the hour. Hours and expenses recorded against projects are turned into invoices that can be generated, sent and tracked from the same account[14]. The free plan allows one seat and two projects and includes time tracking, invoicing and expense tracking[14].

The Teams plan costs US$11 per seat per month, or US$9 per seat billed annually, with unlimited seats, team reporting and integrations with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Stripe and Deel; additional invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed by usage[14]. Enterprise costs US$17.50 per seat per month, or US$14 billed annually, and adds unlimited custom reports, profitability reporting, timesheet approvals, an activity log and SAML single sign-on[14]. A 30-day trial requires no credit card[14]. Harvest is not an accounting system and relies on sync to QuickBooks or Xero for the ledger; usage-based charges for additional invoices on paid plans make costs less predictable than flat-rate invoicing tools.
