Founder/CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great software for teams using billable hours" March 5, 2019 5.0 It's been great so far, we switched from Clockify and the biggest change is that it saves a lot of time creating invoices and makes it much easier for clients to pay. Pros I like how it tracks both the time and the payments in one system. We switched to Harvest because it was taking to much time to build out our invoices, Harvest automatically takes our billable hours and creates invoices instantly! It lets us customize our rates for each person for each different client and has a lot of extra features like tracking retainers, so we can charge a deposit for new clients. It has apps on all the different platforms (desktop app, mobile, chrome extension etc.) so it's very easy and simple to use. It also will do minimum billable increments which is great. Cons We only have the option of doing minimum billing increments as 6 min, 15 min, 30 min, or an hour, but not 10 minutes, which would be nice for us. Also, I wish there the fee/user would go down as you add users. At 12/month/user, the fees get really high as your team grows, it would be nice to have a bulk discount of some type.

" August 17, 2018 5.0 Terrific app with a witty and clever brand style (the quotes they leave on each blank timesheet) are awesome! Pros Harvest just announced some new integration with project management platforms like JIRA which is a HUGE time saver, and a game changer for teams who want to analyze their teams hourly work habits. Cons The filtering features still leave a bit to be desired, but all in all Harvest is the best app on the market. Review Source Michael S. President Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple Time Tracking Tool I'be Been Using for Years" August 15, 2017 5.0 Harvest is reliable, simple and comes with most of the features and reporting that I need to run my web agency. The integration with Basecamp is essential and the iphone app is a big plus. When it comes to time tracking, the simpler the better otherwise the time won't get recorded. Harvest does an excellent job on the user interface. Pros Interface, Ease of use, integrations Cons Would like more user permission options and more control over the quickbooks online integration. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Finance and Project Management Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest Time Tracker" November 29, 2018 4.0 We only use harvest to track time and do not really use any other feature of integration or creating invoices or anything. I am not sure we are getting the best value of the software but I don't know if it is capable of doing what we need. Pros The platform is very simple to use and track time manually or with a timer. I like that there is an app so that you can virtually log your time from anywhere. It is a nice platform to keep a log of time year over year for analysis or profitability. Cons I do not like that you cannot add new jobs from the app. Also, you cannot easily add someone as a project manager to projects once they exist from the project listing. You have to manually go into each specific project and manually check mark project admin and it takes a lot of time. There should be a way to easily do this from somewhere. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Paid Media Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use " February 3, 2022 5.0 Met the expectations of our objective with time management. Easy to use without clunky on boarding. Pros This software was easy to use from day one. Setup was seamless and I never encountered any issues from daily use. Cons Did not encounter much issues so I have not developed any cons for this software. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Managing Director Shadow Labs Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for tracking" March 20, 2020 5.0 Overall it's a great tool that does what it is supposed to do, make time tracking and billing easier. Having used it as a freelancer, it is perfect to keep clients organized and billed without losing too much time on admin work. Pros Harvest is easy to use and allows me to track time in real-time. The app also scans your calendar and helps tag meetings and calls to the right projects to be easily tracked. Set up is also super easy for teams and individuals. Cons All of my issues with Harvest are related to how it has been implemented. Our team works cross-functionally most of the day so outside of any consulting work we are doing that is tied to a client, we are moving fluidly from one task to the next and often forget to switch over our timer.

Online payment options (Wire/CC). Cons Lack of in-built features, triggering the need to integrate using API. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing & operations VP Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Complete and intuitive solution" June 25, 2019 5.0 Love it. I recommended Harvest to many friends and partners and they all seem to enjoy the tool. Pros Used it both for a medium size business and as a freelancer. Timesheet management is intuitive and easy to use and so is invoicing. Cons Some invoicing fields should be more easily customized. Archiving items could be hiding them in reports to help us clean the data with show on screen and make reports simpler. Review Source AY Aleksandr Y. COO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good software for my startup business" October 26, 2023 5.0 Pros it was easy to set up and affordable. As a new business that was budget conscious, this was a great for us Cons As we grew and needed more features, harvest just wasn't a fit for us Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CTO Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A fundamental tool for any company nowadays" January 8, 2019 5.0 Pros I love how this software insanely improve the way we do and manage projects at my company. By providing a super simple way to track and analyze where time and resources were spent, Harvest helped us improve our processes and really changed for the better the way we think about what we do and how we do it. Cons The thing I like the least is not about the software itself, but the people using it: sometimes it’s hard to have team member commit to using it, which is fundamental to unlock all the other benefits of the software itself.

May 3, 2023 5.0 Es una gran opción para llevar el seguimiento de diversos proyectos, pero su precio puede hacer que otros usuarios se decidan por otros programas. Pros Facilita el seguimiento del tiempo para usuarios que requieren trabajar enviando facturas a clientes y realizar el seguimiento de múltiples proyectos, a partir de varios dispositivos, complementándose con varias aplicaciones Cons Su precio es alto respecto a otras opciones disponibles en el mercado.

Digital Marketing Specialist Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Finally! An uncomplicated time tracking software!" January 11, 2018 4.0 No fuss, just simple time tracking. It makes me more productive. Pros Harvest tracks time. No more, no less. That's a beauty of it. Name your task and click start. It's that easy. You can quickly edit you task title and adjust your time. I also think the reports are helpful. It's nice to see where you've spent most of your time. I've tried a few competitors and they just try too hard. It took so long to start tracking that I needed a separate tracker just for my time tracker! Harvest integrates with a lot of project management softwares as well. Cons I don't particularly care for the expenses portion. But that's just because I don't often request expenses. I can't really speak to it's functionality. Review Source JL Jessica L. Executive Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We LOVE Harvest" February 15, 2018 5.0 Pros Harvest is incredibly easy to use, and doesn't try to be more than it is. It is perfect for tracking time (the iPhone app is great, too, as it allows you to start and stop time on the go) and expenses, and conducting billing. It also has a surprisingly great reporting section, which is helpful for understanding your own productivity and opportunities. Harvest is also wonderfully customizable to fit your office's individual needs. Cons This is so nitpicky, but that is because Harvest is so great, and has so little to improve upon: I wish there were multiple pre-set messages you can send. The current system allows for a thank you message and a "balance due" message. Our office, like many law firms, I imagine, has two balance due messages: money due for work performed, and money due to maintain a required trust deposit. Currently we have to manually change this. Not at all a deal breaker, but it would be a very welcome update in the future. Review Source SB Scott B. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable time tracking service with random quirks and no new features" September 17, 2019 4.0 Pros Time tracking is a huge part of my life as a freelancer, so having a reliable tracker and database is critical. Harvest grew with me when I built an agency, allowing me to easily view the hours of my contractors and employees. I use the Mac app on a daily basis, then log into the web interface to get overall reports regularly. The speed of the reporting makes it easy to know how much I should be billing in a really quick manner. Cons The Mac app can have random hiccups that cause it to appear in random parts of the screen, and it doesn't let you do a lot of the admin work like adding new clients or projects. I've been a customer for many years, but it feels like the Harvest team has no innovative ideas to expand the service beyond its current scope. Review Source BN Bonnie N. Partner Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Multiple Clients, Multiple Projects Very affordable flexible solution" May 29, 2021 5.0 Very intuitive softare. No training or support required after over 6 months of daily use. I invoice my clients monthly and track my time daily. I love the ease of tacking via my phone or laptop. It is simple to set up various rates or project billing. Pros The ease of adding new clients and projects. It is also very flexible to track different rates, billable and non-billable time. Cons Really no complaints. Setting defaults for the projects under each client keeps the time tracking and billing clean. Alternatives considered [Clockify](https://www.capterra.com/p/169607/Clockify/)[Projectworks](https://www.capterra.com/p/206536/Projectworks/) Reason for choosing Harvest Free trial period and functionality Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Operations Director Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest is Great for Client Project Management" December 16, 2018 4.0 Pros Harvest is great for client project managament. You can set a project for each client, have sub-projects under that client, track billable hours, non-billable hours, etc and then it even draws your teams timecards from the entries. It has pretty decent appt integrations with billing software too! Cons It doesn't work with the desktop version of QB unfortunately. Review Source Dylan H. SAE Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Functionality, Needs Employee Features " August 16, 2018 4.0 Excellent way to track profitability, really is a power tool. Pros The app is excellent, great on web as well. The different methods that one can use to track their time fits any style. Cons I wish that Harvest gave employees the ability to look back at how thet have spent my time over a defined time period. Admins have this capability but rank and file employees do not. Review Source KH Katie H. Evaluator Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Harvest provides easy time tracking and intuitive reports to understand project finances" December 4, 2022 4.0 Harvest has been a positive experience. It’s user friendly and the set up is quite intuitive. Pros Harvest provides key insights for our team to make project planning decisions. Reports allow our team to get both high level progress views (are we on time and budget?) and more detailed breakdowns of problem areas (where did we go over budget?) Cons We use a different invoicing software for clients, but it would be helpful if contractors could create internal invoices based on what they track in Harvest. Review Source Sharon A. D. Digital Marketing Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use time tracking system" January 16, 2019 5.0 Helped us keep track of employee's time each day and hours spent towards our clients and their individual projects. Pros Easy for users to add their time, and easy for managers to review and see where each team member and client is at for hours at any time. Reports can be exported into Excel for sorting and saving as needed. Cons Would be nice if it integrated in with more tools. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Owner/Scrum Master Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Makes it very easy to invoice for my work" December 1, 2020 4.0 Overall very happy with this product and it's ease of use. Makes it easy for me to produce a processional bill and have the backend accounting of what I have billed for and what is outstanding. Pros I really like the ease of being able to record my time and generate an invoice for it. It has several settings you can pre-setup to make invoicing really fast at the end of each week. Cons I have to always change the pay by date. My current client only pays out on the 5th of each month, and there isn't a good way for me to customize it to a day of a month. You can setup net 10, 15, etc. Also I would love it if you could add say date fields to the subject line in the email and the PDF it generates. Both things I manually add each week. Review Source MS Madison S. Digital Marketer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Track your time with ease" January 12, 2021 5.0 I would definitely recommend Harvest to both large companies and freelancers! The company I work for does solely remote work, so Harvest keeps everyone accountable. It is easy to use, manage, and edit. Pros This is a great product for time tracking! I like how you can create different categories for time that way at the end of the month you can see where your time was really spent. For example, if you're working on a website, you can break down your time into categories such as site maintenance, website edits, client correspondence, etc. Cons When I use Harvest, I log into the site directly. I tried the app before, but there were some glitches. Either it would stop tracking when I wanted it to track, or keep tracking after I paused the timer. This could be user error, as a lot of my coworkers prefer the app, however the app wasn't for me. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good and useful" December 31, 2019 4.0 I use Harvest to be able to control the hours I spend on different tasks, either personal or professional. Pros Harvest is very useful to manage your time and know what you are investing it in. Both the application and the website work very well and give you a daily and weekly summary of what you have been doing. That way you can know if you are investing too much time in something you shouldn't or if you are not working enough on some project you should work more on. Cons It has not important extra features. It would be great to be able to export the data to different formats and even generate an invoice if needed. I think that would make the program much better. Review Source Jeff S. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Time Tracking App" March 31, 2018 5.0 Pros Harvest has everything that a small business owner would need to tracking the time spent by employees on projects. Harvest works well for consulting firms that need an easy way to track time against projects, but to also track time against various types of projects (e.g. fixed fee, hourly, time and materials, etc.). It can handle everything that you need, and can also connect with CRMs and other systems. Cons Harvest itself is a great application. It is easy to use and setup. However, the views for time entry can be hard to understand (specifically the weekly view) because users can capture hours but not include the descriptions. Review Source Geoff N. Director Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent time tracking resource" July 30, 2018 4.0 Pros Could not be easier to use. Takes two minutes to get going. Includes invoicing based on hours worked Reporting is detailed Cons A bit pricey for time tracker. Can add up if lots of users. No budget functionality for time-based project. For example, I'd like to allocate a weekly budget to a project and we notified when exceeded. Review Source AA Armin A. Team Lead Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and powerful" March 10, 2022 5.0 Pros The ease of use and the benefits and reports you get from this tool are amazing. It's very easy for me to track time of my direct reports, analyze capacity and plan based on the data I get. Cons Setting up projects and clients could be easier/less complex but once set up, it works like a charm Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Related categories [Time and Expense](https://www.capterra.com/time-and-expense-software/)[Project Management](https://www.capterra.com/project-management-software/)[Time Tracking](https://www.capterra.com/time-tracking-software/) ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
