### "Harvest: An Excellent Resource For Tracking Work Time"

April 3, 2025

5.0

Overall, I really love the product. 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.

### "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.

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.

### "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.

### "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.

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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "They stopped development on the app and most likely whole operation."

November 27, 2024

4.0

Pros

I like the most that its easy to setup and use. UI is getting but old but its simple and intuitive.

Cons

Their app constantly bugs out and starts using 20% of the processor. Are they running mining operation!? If you forget you timer over night time cannot be auto corrected. Even when app clearly shows that you have not used computer for 14h ours. When you press button to stop and remove those hours suddenly app forgets what's happening and states that no timer is running. At this point I consider this as a crypto miner and most likely I pay more a month for this sucker electrical bills than a subscription. They stopped development on the app and most likely whole operation.

Reason for choosing Harvest

Ease of use.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "High quality timesheet tool"

September 23, 2024

5.0

Pros

Quality. The UI is very slick; they've really gone deep on how people use the product. Things like keyboard shortcuts and supporting regular vs decimal time when entering timesheets are a real time saver.

Cons

Some of the month-by-month project reporting requires paging through each month. It would be nice to see several months in one view.

### "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.

### "Easy to use - custom reports makes it easy to generate internal insights"

September 3, 2024

5.0

I find Harvest easy to use, we use it to track time working on clients' files. Internally I use the reports to analyze how I use my time, and give myself benchmarks to improve.

Pros

It's easy to use. Time stamps can be adjusted. I LOVE the reports functionality, you can pull reports in a lot of different ways.

Cons

I can't think of any drawbacks to Harvest.

### "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.

### "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).

### "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.
