It is easy to use and convenient to manage time for tasks and projects. Pros Harvest is a great tool for time tracking - especially for organizations where most/all workers are remote. Cons Sometimes, it can be difficult to remember to stop or start the timer. It would help if Harvest had better reminders. Harvest does have some type of reminder if it perceives the clock has run too long. But it doesn't always remind the user until it is way too late. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words! I've noted your interest in improved reminders on your running timers for the rest of the team. SL Stephanie L. Compliance Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy, customizable, and simple time tracking" December 29, 2025 5.0 Pros Very customizable with the time sheet options and the ability to add categories and sub categories to a specific time block. Easy to learn right away with a simple and clean user interface and able to easily edit time so it is not rigid or if you accidentally forget it on you can go back and fix it. Cons I don't like that it does not send you the "did you leave your timer on" towards the end of my work day as a reminder to turn it off. Instead I get it at odd hours or the next morning and I have to figure out when I actually stopped working because the clock just keeps going. Review Source LAC Leslie Ann C. Senior Accountant Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Time Entry Could be Better" October 27, 2024 1.0 It provided a platform for time entry, but due to the lack of user buy in, I don't think it provided accurate time entry. Pros Harvest was able to produce reporting that we could use for capturing capitalizable time and it was easy to update cost rates. Cons Time entry was difficult to do quickly, due to difficulties selecting the correct projects, etc. The reporting was outdated (the file would be sent to your email; you weren't able to just download the file at the time of export). It was difficult to identify the role of the various users without clicking into their profile. Review Source Response from Harvest November 1, 2024 We're sorry Harvest didn't work for your team, and we appreciate you taking the time to share these pain points! I've noted your feedback for the rest of the team. VR Verified Reviewer Systems Administrator Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Project Management and Time Tracking Product" December 30, 2025 5.0 Overall Harvest has been a good and reliable time tracking, and project management product. It's also setup to be integrated with Helpdesk ticketing systems. Pros Time tracking, project management/collaboration and integration. I like the ability to have it integrated with Zendesk. Cons The different tabs for adding/editing time for certain projects can be buggy. Sometimes manually adding time does not save and it requires you to go back and add the time again. Review Source OR Olivia R. VP of Finance Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for managing multiple clients" August 20, 2025 5.0 Pros Harvest is excellent for managing my time tracking across multiple clients, and multiple projects for each of those clients. Having worked in a previous organization that required time tracking, yet didn’t have a tool implemented, it was so cumbersome to maintain my time on a spreadsheet. I also appreciate the ability to make changes—if I forget to switch my timer between clients, or if I attend an event not in front of my computer (where I didn’t start a time on my phone). Cons Nothing—gets the job done well for my use case! It could be nice if using the PTO code would sync with PTO tracking in our HRIS, but it’s possible that’s a setting our team hadn’t enabled. Review Source Response from Harvest August 21, 2025 Thanks for the kind words and feedback! We don't have any explicit features for auto-syncing time tracked to a PTO task or project, but I've recorded your request for the rest of the team. MS Mike S. Transformation Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Saving time with Harvest" July 17, 2025 4.0 Overall a solid platform as long as you have a normal work pattern and does save time on the expenses side. Pros From a user perspective it is easy to use and manage and the expense capture from the phone app makes it very easy to capture as soon as you get a receipt in your hand. Cons The calendar is set to a standard working week (Mon to Fri) however when with clients in Saudi Arabia the working week is Sunday to Thursday so a week is split over 2 time sheets and can't be adjusted. Does make it a little manual when creating client invoices and timesheet matching. Review Source Response from Harvest July 18, 2025 Thanks for the kind words and for the feedback! I've noted your comment re: friction when your working week doesn't align with the timesheet for specific clients for the rest of the team. JT Junior T. Data Processor Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest Review" November 4, 2025 5.0 Detailed reporting and analytics: Generate insights on time spent, team productivity, budgets, and profitability to inform decisions. Pros Expense tracking and team management: Log expenses, approve timesheets, and monitor billable hours with automated reminders. Cons Limited offline access: Requires internet for most functions, posing issues in low-connectivity areas. Review Source HD Harry D. Paid Media Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Time tracking made easy!" November 3, 2025 5.0 Very positive, very easy to understand and we all used it for a small company for a long time, as we grew it was harder to use. Pros The most simple time tracking software i've ever used! Easy to understand and very good at time tracking and project timesheets. Cons Unfortunately there's other products out there that offer multiple additional features, Harvest is just time tracking whereas others offer billing etc. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest your time" January 8, 2025 5.0 Overall I really enjoy Harvest and it has always helped keep my teams on track. Pros No matter the size of your team, Harvest makes it easy to track time to individual roles and projects. Budget tracking is also extremely easy for Project Managers. Exporting reports is quick and simple. Cons Harvest is pretty straightforward and easy to use, but I wish there were more ways to customize invoices and reports—it feels a bit limiting. Also, it doesn’t have features like GPS tracking or more detailed employee management tools. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words! I've noted your interest in better customization for reports and invoicing, as well as GPS tracking. Ankit D. Digital Marketer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good project time tracking software platform" March 4, 2025 4.0 I used Harvest in past for one of my client with its integration with Asana and liked its simple interface. For a newbie, it is a good time tracking program but still need more advanced functionality. Pros The platform is simple and accurate. It offers integration with many other project management tools including Asana and Google Calender. Setting up time tracking for individual projects is easy and flexible. You can anytime edit start and end date for any project without any issues. Project invoice generation is flawless and easy. Cons It doesn't offer automatic time tracking and we have to manually enter the values for each project. They offer limited features for free plan which I don't think is a big limitation. It doesn't work offline and require a stable internet connection for accurate time tracking. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the compliments and the feedback! I've noted your request for more automated time tracking for the rest of the team. Jessica D. Game Programmer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest tracks project hours assigned and used" June 14, 2022 4.0 Daily and weekly resource allocation may be made much easier with the use of forecasting. Easy to use and easy to maintain. A daily or weekly timetable is available to everyone working on the project. Simple to use and simple to keep up to date. Pros It's simple to keep track of harvest time. Multiple projects and tasks can be created and assigned to various members of your team. It is possible to keep track of the time spent by each individual and compare it to the total number of hours allotted for the project. Cons An outdated and unfriendly user interface. That would be a great and eye-catching interface to view, in my opinion. As a result, it would be the same as receiving a service or conducting research! Switched from [Paymo](https://www.capterra.com/p/137033/Paymo/)[ClickTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/10010752/ClickTime/) Harvest allows us to keep track of both the time allotted to the project's various tasks and the time actually spent on them. I appreciate that I can replicate the activities from one day to the next to ensure that I am constantly scheduling the same things under the same heading. Review Source KW Kimb W. Owner Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Time Tracking" March 5, 2025 5.0 I have been using Harvest to organize my working h/o, and it can be the most basic and efficient tool for freelancers Pros Harvest is a fantastic way of tracking time as it only takes a split second to record to deduct hours Cons The only con I could mention is that the free plan might not satisfy you when you work on more than one project at a time Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for your wonderful review! We love hearing how Harvest helps keep work running smoothly. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback via https://www.getharvest.com/contact. SB Scarlett B. Paralegal Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ease of use " November 21, 2024 4.0 Harvest is a great software with little or no bug issues and is user-friendly. Pros It is user friendly and I had no freezing issues while using the software. Cons It did not have a way to handle multiple search or report prints. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the feedback! I've noted your interest in better searching and more printable reports for the rest of the team. ES Eustacia S. Outreach Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "You should give it a try" April 14, 2025 5.0 I had a fair experience with this program I would recommend this program for any business looking to thrive and free up time Pros I can see all my employees clock in from my mobile device manage all reports and set up task assignments for each person Cons Price small business looking for an easier way to run a business not enough revenue Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words! I've noted your feedback on our pricing for the rest of the team. GS Guy S. Head of Consultancy Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy, simple and fast to get going." November 18, 2024 4.0 Very positive so far, took half a day to fully set up my team and projects to start to use it. I'm sure with time we will find more ways to improve how we used it, but so far it's been clear how to do everything without needing to call on the support team. Pros Quick and easy to set up, you can bulk upload basic information on projects and clients to get you started. It's biggest selling point for me was it's simplicity and ease of use for time and project tracking. Cons Would be beneficial to have different commercials to offer not just seats but site or org based. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/)[monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Harvest Ease and price made this an obvious choice Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words! We're happy to hear it was easy for you to get started, and I've noted your feedback on our current pricing structure. ES Ellie S. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Harvest review" April 13, 2025 4.0 Pros I like the color scheme and the flexibility Cons I don’t like how the projects are difficult to bring over from week to week Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the compliments! I've recorded your request for improved copying for the rest of our team. CW Chad W. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid solution for solos and teams " November 30, 2024 5.0 Ive been using it for years. It works great to keep track of multiple projects for 1 client simultaneously Pros Simple to track time and have multiple tasks at differnt hourly rates Cons The reporting interface could use some uodates. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words! I've noted your feedback on our reporting UI/UX for the rest of the team. AN Alyssa N. Executive Coordinator Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to Use!" September 26, 2024 5.0 Overall, I enjoy the platform for how efficient and easy to use it is. Pros It is easy to use and user friendly, even to those who have never used the platform. Cons There is currently no way to link tasks to specific user roles, however that is not a major issue. Review Source Response from Harvest November 1, 2024 We're happy to hear it's been so easy to use Harvest for you and your team! I've noted your feedback on tasks and teammates for the rest of the team. SS Sophie S. Senior Campaign Executive Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Really helpful tool" October 1, 2024 5.0 Great experience, really helpful way to track time spent against different clients, workstreams or projects. Fantastic for teams with billable hours or looking to understand where team time is being spent. Pros Really easy to track your time against multiple clients and projects. Cons There is a limited amount you can do on the free version, but would recommend the paid version as it is really helpful for tracking. Review Source Response from Harvest November 1, 2024 Thanks for your wonderful review! We love hearing how Harvest helps keep work running smoothly. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or feedback via https://www.getharvest.com/contact. Dan L. SVP Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use timekeeping and expense reimbursement platform" August 14, 2024 4.0 We use Harvest for tracking time against projects as well as managing employee and client expenses. Pros Easy to use timekeeping + expense system across all employees Cons Lack of integration with other agency tools, i.e., Google Suite Review Source Response from Harvest August 30, 2024 Thank you so much for your feedback! We love receiving customer requests and have passed this request for a deeper integration with Google Workspace along to our Product team for consideration. ysY yin syuan Y. designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "good website for company to track the time and project budget" June 3, 2024 5.0 Pros easy to check how colleagues' capacity and also manage different projects' budget. Cons will be easier if the harvest and forecast can automatic change the timesheet and forecast hours. Review Source RM Ranjit M. Software Engineer Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Best time tracking software in the Market!!" July 30, 2022 4.0 Overall, It was a good experience while using the Harvest. It is a powerful tool to manage your tasks and all other personal work. I tried many productivity apps but then again it is overhead to use multiple apps to increase productivity. Instead, I would recommend Harvest for effective time management. Pros I liked Harvest's time tracking software. I was finding it difficult to manage time for my project. I tried many time tracking software but could not find any satisfactory software. As I was using ClickUp for taking notes, I saw there was a third-party integration option with other productivity apps like Harvest. I immediately integrated with Harvest and it made my life easy. I downloaded Harvest on all my devices. Now I can use time very effectively. I'd recommend Harvest to all people who are freelancers, software engineers, and students as it is a great productivity tool. Cons I think Harvest should provide some user interface for project management. Hopefully they will listen to this feedback and improve the project management feature. Review Source RM Rocío M. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Time tracking that fits perfectly with Asana" February 12, 2023 4.0 The fact that it is only in English made the learning progress a little less fluid. I think the UX leaves room for improvement, already. But I find it useful and we use it steadily. Pros The integration with Asana saves us much time: Harvest recognises the project, task type and name of the task and introduces them on the tracking for you. Cons I’m using Mac and this doesn’t work on Safari (it does in Chrome, however). Alternatives considered [Toggl Track](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Reason for choosing Harvest For the Asana integration. Review Source AR Amelia R. Enterprise Paid Strategy Lead Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest makes time tracking easy" June 10, 2021 5.0 We used to track our time manually in Google sheets, but Harvest changed the game and made things a lot simpler for our employees. Pros Sometimes its the simple software that provides the most value. In this case, while Harvest does provide some features that we do not use, it is incredibly simple to understand and use on a daily basis. We feel that we are really utilizing the software to the fullest extent even though we only use it to track time for internal purposes. We don't feel like we are wasting money paying for a software that is only partially utilized. Cons I am sure that for some companies the simplicity may not be practical. It really does stick to the basics so it is for a company that doesn't need all of the bells and whistles that I am sure some time tracking software has. Review Source RF Ramiro F. Operations Coordinator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Operations Coordinator Opinion" November 10, 2022 5.0 Overall experience with Harvest is great. We use it on a daily basis and we don't have any problems to track our time and report that to our customers. Pros The possibility to have different task rates for our customers. Uninvoiced report is very usefull if you have correctly configured billiable and non billiable hours. Cons I believe they should include the possibility to have different cost rates to tracks. For example, we have different rates to the customer according to the task involved, but you cannot replicate that on the cost view. You can only set one rate per team member.
