I find it is reasonably priced but wouldn't suggest any significant increases as I would question my other options. Pros Very easy to use so an easy learning curve, two factor authentication ensures security, excellent timetracking and project job costing, I use this for billing and integrates with Xero accounting software. I haven't come across any bugs and/or issues and never had to contact customer support. I can increase or reduce my team numbers at any stage and my costs are instantly amended. Cons I manage payments via Xero and these do not flow through to Harvest. I find the reporting is limited as I would like to see the discounts I provide clients and do a little more reporting on clients billings etc. Review Source IM Ivana M. Account Specialist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy tool for tracking time " May 30, 2025 5.0 As I mention above very easy to use, tracking exactly how much time its spend on which project and on which client Pros I liked how you could separate the clients and the products, very easy to use and very understandable Cons Well to be honest there is no such a thing like I liked the least, its very good time keeping tool and I state that Switched from [Clockify](https://www.capterra.com/p/169607/Clockify/) My company did, so not sure why exactly was done Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words! VR Verified Reviewer Account Exec Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Harvest review" January 16, 2026 2.0 Straightforward, clean time tracking and invoicing, dependable daily use, great for teams and freelancers. Pros Clean interface, effortless time tracking, strong invoicing, and clear reporting that’s easy to understand and share. Cons Somewhat limited customization and higher cost for small teams, features feel basic for advanced needs. Review Source YL Yin L. Founder Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product, simple and easy to use. " August 11, 2026 4.0 Great, been using it since the start of my business. As a service-based business working across multiple clients and projects, Harvest gives me the visibility I need to understand where our time is being spent and make better decisions around workload, capacity and billing. Invoicing is kept consistent, easy to do, easy to follow up. Harvest has made tracking client work much more efficient. It’s simple to use, easy to review, and saves me from having to piece together time and project information manually. Time tracking is the reason I use it (especially over something like Clockify or Toggl). I wanted something that would make time tracking easier, not create more admin. Harvest does exactly that. It’s clean, intuitive and gives me the information I actually need to manage client work properly, and see my revenue. I use the time tracking reports regularly to review hours, understand how much time we’re spending on different areas of work, and keep an eye on workloads and project profitability. I also use the invoice reports a lot. Being able to quickly see what’s been invoiced, what’s outstanding and where revenue is coming from gives me a much clearer picture of the business. Pros The ease of use. The invoicing and how it displays your revenue. What's invoiced, what's outstanding to be paid. Easy time tracking. It can be integrated into Asana and other project management applications. Cons The cost per seat, get's expensive for the product the bigger the team gets, so then you have to make a bigger decision as to whether or not to move. And the long-winded way to download invoices at the end of the month. There's a lot of features I don't fully use, which is a shame. Alternatives considered [Clockify](https://www.capterra.com/p/169607/Clockify/)[Toggl](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Reason for choosing Harvest I was recommended from a fellow collegue Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Satisfied customer" April 23, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Harvest has been very positive. It is an intuitive and reliable time-tracking tool that simplifies project management, invoicing, and reporting. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to track hours accurately, while its integrations and reporting features help improve productivity and financial visibility. Overall, it has been an effective solution for managing time and streamlining workflows. Pros What I liked most about Harvest was its clean, intuitive interface and how easy it makes time tracking, invoicing, and reporting. It simplifies day-to-day workflow without adding unnecessary complexity, which makes it especially effective for teams that want efficiency and visibility in one platform. Cons What I liked least about Harvest was its limited customization options, particularly in reporting and invoice design. Additionally, some features felt basic for more complex project management needs, and pricing can become relatively high as teams scale. Review Source 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 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 VR Verified Reviewer Customer Success manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Outstanding!" May 20, 2026 5.0 Using harvest is a great experience and made my life easy especially with learning curve and project collaboration. Pros Customer support, its security and features, time tracking method is really awesome. The UI experience is also extremely wonderful. Cons Nothing I can think of. I have been using harvest for almost three plus years now and I don't find any issues. Review Source JC James C. Analyst Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tracking Consulting hours by project" July 5, 2026 4.0 Straight forward use, nothing to remember, it just works as promised.We have used it at the consulting company where I work for past five years and it has proven itself to company and our senior team. Pros Easy to use, provides reminders to keep time sheets updated, has drop down to associate hours with projects Cons Very little to dislike, works as expected and I have used it for past five years. I really can't say anything negative about it. Review Source ME Marcus E. Solution Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solution Architect" August 2, 2026 3.0 Pros \- Easy to use interface. - Efficiency in entering weekly time sheet - Secured access via SSO - The overall system is easy to learn so no steep learning curve for new users Cons \- Limited project visibility - Burn rate not available when entering time per task within a project - Mobile App has limited functionality Review Source DD Danielle D. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fan of Harvest! " March 24, 2025 5.0 I have had a great overall experience since beginning to use Harvest. Find it very user friendly. Pros I like the ease of being able to track and bill time. Cons I do not love how you enter retainers into the program. But it is probably more user error than how it works. Everything else is SO EASY to operate, that is the only thing I usually question if I am doing right. Alternatives considered [monday AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Harvest I thought Harvest was simple and more in line of what I needed for a 1 person business.

One of the easiest and best decision I made when I started my business. " January 6, 2025 4.0 Great! Never had any issues with it. It works, it's streamlined and does what I need it to do. Pros I love the way it shows your invoices, and tallys up your numbers for the month, year or set to custom. It's very simple to use and I've been using it for years alongside my business to track time and do my invoicing. It forms professional invoices and makes the process really easy to send to clients. There's also an app, that can be helpful. Cons I would like an easier download process for invoices (at the end of the month), so that I could download invoices all together, or from the invoice list, to click a download button and it just does it. I currently have to go into each invoice to download it separately. I'd love for team members to be a bit cheaper. The cost per seat holds me back from really utilizing it. But great for an individual. There are limited features on the app, but it has been helpful on occasion, would love to see the full features of Harvest on there. Alternatives considered [Clockify](https://www.capterra.com/p/169607/Clockify/)[Toggl](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Reason for choosing Harvest I think Clockify came after. I considered switching but I had been using Harvest already, and it held a lot of historical information. Plus I preferred the invoicing template. It was much cleaner. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words and feedback on pricing! I also have some good news—it is possible to bulk export PDF copies of your invoices by running an Invoice report and selecting the PDF option when exporting. More in https://bit.ly/441iZBn. VR Verified Reviewer CEO and Founder Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple Software" January 6, 2025 4.0 Pros It's a simple platform that is easy to use. Been using it for years so I just know how it works, which means its a time saver. Cons I wish the invoices and tracking were a little more sleek, visually speaking. It would also be great to connect into PandaDoc to automate invoicing. Alternatives considered [Zoho Desk](https://www.capterra.com/p/169505/Zoho-Desk/) Reason for choosing Harvest Ease of use, visual appearance of invoices, cost Switched from [Microsoft Word](https://www.capterra.com/p/227146/Microsoft-Word/) I needed something more professional looking and automated for my invoicing Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words and feedback! I've noted your request for a PandaDoc integration for the rest of the team. MK Mathew K. Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest is the best choice for Small Business Owners" June 2, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with Harvest has been outstanding. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple, straightforward platform to do their invoicing and time tracking. Pros What I really like most about the Harvest platform is the ease of use. I have used it for years and it has always been 100% reliable! It is easy to add new clients, set up recurring invoices, and keep track of my projects. Cons It would be great if you could handle setting up invoices from their mobile app but this isn't a deal-breaker. I travel often so that would just be nice to have. That said, I can still log in to the desktop site while traveling and do whatever I need. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Quickbooks was charging more money for an inferior product. You have to pay Quickbooks over $300 per year just to be able to set up recurring invoicing. Review Source SC Sierra C. SLP Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Awesome App" April 21, 2025 5.0 I have used Harvest for contract work and love that it creates projects with tasks that are fully customizable with things like fee schedule. It automates your invoice and tracks payments, so handy. And I love that it also has an app and you can track time live or go back and change as needed. As someone with ADHD, this works really well for time tracking. Pros I love the ease in which this works and the organization of it, I have recommended to folks. Cons I don’t have anything negative to say about it, I keep using it because I like it. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for these kind words! We love hearing that Harvest has really supported your workflow. David K. President Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy To Implement And Simple Time Tracking" December 18, 2024 5.0 We needed a time management system for all of our team to use and have data synced for billable hours to clients. Harvest was easy to set up and install and get everyone on the same page in about an hour. Pros Harvest is super easy to set up and start using right away for accurate time tracking on projects and work. Cons Costs, I know they need to make money but for time tracking in 2025 - it's not something that businesses want to pay more and more for something that's standard unless there are more value added with other features. 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. PH Priscila H. Associate Producer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent time tracking tool" November 30, 2024 5.0 Pros Can track things directly from Google Calendar Cons Wish there was an option to copy and paste tasks from other days Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words! I've noted your request for copying actual time entries for the rest of the team. MM Mara M. Copywriter Writing and Editing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest Review" November 18, 2024 4.0 Pros Harvest is easy to use and helps me track my time for accurate invoicing. Cons It could have more features and better integrations. The price is a bit high for freelancers. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the feedback! I've noted your thoughts on our pricing for the rest of the team. ES Ezra S. Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great time tracking/invoicing platform for people new to freelancing – or seasoned pros." August 3, 2024 5.0 I've been using Harvest for well over a decade now, and I have no plans to switch. It's been with me through my first steps testing the waters of freelancing to going freelance full time. I make heavy use of the macOS app, which makes it easy for me to track my time throughout the day. And I rely on its invoicing and reporting features to get paid quickly and easily. What's not to love? Pros Harvest is easy to use, streamlined, with just the features I need and none of the features I don't. I primarily use it for time tracking and invoicing for my freelance business. There are enough configuration options for me to customize my time tracker and invoices for every client, and it takes just a minute or two to set up clients and send invoices. Cons Recently I've moved toward a monthly invoicing cycle, and there is no way for Harvest to automatically generate an invoice on the first of the month for all of the time tracked in the previous month. It's a small annoyance to make/send the invoice myself but a little more automation here would be welcome. 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](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 AS Allison S. Executive Admin Assistant Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use for individual time tracking and project time tracking." October 23, 2024 4.0 Overall it's been a good experience. I've been using it for the past 1 1/2 years to manage my own time and also track project time for clients. Pros I like that it's fairly intuitive. The user interface is clean and friendly. It integrates well with Google Chrome. I find it easy to set up projects and track time. Cons I wish on an individual time card you could see what time (clock time) was logged instead of total time. I.e. see that 10 minutes was logged from 9:00-9:10 instead of just 10 minutes total. Review Source Response from Harvest November 1, 2024 Thanks for your kind words and the feedback! I've recorded your request for timestamps when tracking via Duration. Brian B. Owner Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Nice Product That Became Too Expensive For Me To Justify" April 7, 2022 5.0 Overall, I really enjoyed it. I felt some pains when I moved away from it, but I've actually found a really nice combination of products that does the same thing. Pros A very easy-to-use app that lets you track time and clients. End-of-month invoicing is as simple as a few button clicks. Overall, I really like the program. Cons The price just wasn't worth it for me anymore. I found I could no longer justify the cost based on free offerings out there in the wild.
