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. MM Martin M. Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product for timetracking and invoicing" January 30, 2025 5.0 Pros Allows us to manage our project's time management and invoicing in the one platform. Different levels of user management allows us to set up staff to see their clients only. Invoicing is straight forward and allows for automatic recurring/retainer invoicing. Staff time tracking can be integrated into other software that we use so easier to keep track of them Cons When you set a time budget for each project you cant split it between tasks. This would be a helpful feature for companies that split time between departments. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words! We do currently offer the option to budget your projects by hours per task, but there are some limitations. You can learn a little more in http://bit.ly/4dP7j8h. ES Ellie S. Founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good integrations/extensions" May 29, 2026 5.0 Pros I've been using the harvest integration with Notion, and I really like how quick and easy it is to track tasks and have a lot of detail on them Cons The only snag is that the harvest/notion integration seems to break frequently, and then I have to uninstall and reinstall the extension which is annoying Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Time Tracking for All" June 1, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Harvest has been very positive. It is a dependable and user-friendly time tracking tool that does exactly what it needs to do without adding unnecessary complexity. Pros Harvest makes time tracking simple, clear, and easy to manage. I really like how straightforward it is to track time by project or task, review where time is being spent, and generate useful reports. Cons It can take some time to make sure projects, tasks, and team workflows are organized in a way that gives you the most useful data. Overall, though, these are minor issues compared to how easy and reliable the product is. Review Source AB Annie-Claude B. PR Agent Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great software to keep track of time! " January 17, 2025 5.0 overall harvest is a great software to keep track of the hours you spend on client or project. even though we don't use it to track our expenses or our invoices, we know its a function harvest offers. Pros \- It is userfriendly - It is flexible - It is easy to make change if you have to Cons Even if it's easy to understand, coud be great and more inclusive if it was available in french Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the kind words! I've noted your interest in French language support for the rest of the team. VR Verified Reviewer Co-Owner Photography Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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.

December 16, 2024 4.0 Pros Easy to use interface with clear labels, easy on the eye colours and typography and intuitive UI elements. Cons It is no longer easy to integrate with other popular tools such as Asana. Switched from [Toggl](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Better feature set and better integrations at the time. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the compliments! I've noted your feedback on changes to the Asana integration for the rest of the team. 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. 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. 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.

Freelance Technical Writer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Report detailed time info " November 22, 2024 5.0 Relatively intuitive time-tracking and reporting software. Just have to remind myself sometimes to clock out when I'm switching projects or ending work for the day. Pros I like drilling down to specific details about a project while tracking my time; Harvest lets me bill to a project and add auto-populated info about what I'm working on so I can report this info to clients. The mobile app ran well on my Android phone and was helpful away from my desk. Cons I had to manually round my time (our organization bills in increments). This would be a helpful feature if Harvest could do this automatically. Review Source Response from Harvest June 5, 2025 Thanks for the compliments and feedback! I have some good news—we do currently offer time rounding for reporting and invoicing. You can learn more at https://bit.ly/3TaCam5. BS Bambi S. Account Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvesting you time correctly" November 8, 2024 4.0 Harvest is great. It helps my Job keep track of multiple clients and what I do for them. Makes it easy to break down each task and even comment about the task Pros I like how if you have to manually enter the number of minutes into the system and it converts the time to the decimal percentage for you. Harvest doesn't make you have to stop and figure it out yourself Cons Very touchy. If you accidentally hit enter or esc you must start all over Review Source Response from Harvest November 15, 2024 Thanks for the kind words, Bambi!

Responsable de l'amélioration continue Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Qu'est-ce que l'on faisait avant Harvest !" July 11, 2024 5.0 Sensationnel. Je le recommande à pleins de clients. Pros feuille de temps et facturation simple dans le même outils cloud. Cons Parfois manque de détails dans certains rapport, mais je peut toujours arriver à l'information que je cherche par Excel. Switched from [CCH iFirm](https://www.capterra.com/p/185242/CCH-iFirm/)[Nutcache](https://www.capterra.com/p/142829/Nutcache/) Nutcache ne permettait pas de facturer. CCH iFirm était difficile à manipuler et certaines options était complexes en plus que le logiciels était coûteux. Review Source Brock P. Vice President of Marketing Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Easiest Time Tracking Tool I Have Ever Used" March 1, 2023 5.0 Great. The software does exactly what it needs to, we have ZERO problems with it, it is affordably priced... what's not to like? Pros Harvest is just really really really easy to use. Setting it up is fast and painless, administering jobs is easy, filling out timesheets is easy. Our team had a hard time tracking time prior to Harvest, and once we started using this software it became (almost) painless overnight. Cons It isn't really a "con" but Harvest is built to serve agencies who have multiple clients and bill them for work performed. We are an internal department within a company, so we had to work around some of the structural elements built into Harvest, but it was no problem. We easily adopted the platform to meet our needs. Alternatives considered [monday AI Work Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/) Reason for choosing Harvest We chose Harvest over Monday.com because Harvest was much simpler. We preferred that over a bigger more complex tool. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Learning Technology Manager E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Track your time effectively with Harvest" May 13, 2022 5.0 I now use Harvest daily to track my time on multiple tasks and projects and it barely takes me out of my flow. Then using the mobile app to stop and start when needed for accurate time tracking. Pros Harvest is so easy to use on any platform and integrate with other project management tools really well. Cons For our use, I haven’t found any issues with Harvest. Assuming you set up your projects correctly it works like a dream. Reason for choosing Harvest Harvest integrated well with Asana our project tracker, without the need to full set up projects into Harvest itself. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Freelance Writer Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest is a Freelancer's more affordable time-tracking and invoicing option" August 26, 2022 5.0 Harvest has been a game changer for me. When I started my business I was easily able to track hours, expenses, and bill clients without paying outrageous fees for software that had more than I actually needed (and was challenging to learn). Pros The best part about this software--the price. There is a free option for new freelancers, and for my first year, I strictly used that. Even the free version is highly robust. However, I quickly realized I needed something a bit more custom, and I've upgraded to the paid version, but even that is very reasonable. Cons I don't really like that you can't send contracts. I feel like if the program includes estimates, it should also have a contract-sending option. I understand it integrates with other contract platforms, but those were so very expensive-—or just didn't appeal to me.

It met all my needs. Review Source WT Will T. CEO and Director of Creative Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Timetracking and Invoicing Made Easy" August 23, 2021 5.0 In general, I have been very happy with this product. When we originally were researching time tracking and invoicing software this one rose to the surface and it has remained one of the leaders in this space. Having said that, it's not cheap, particularly if you need multiple people on it, so there are definitely options out there that cost less and or are free if that is what you are looking for. It does also provide some integration with Quickbooks that others likely don't have. Pros Working in a creative field, I am a person who detests tracking time and invoicing. It takes me out of flow and into a space that doesn't really foster creative ideas or spark the imagination. Harvest makes the process about as painless as possible (let's be real, tracking time will never be entirely painless) and frees me up to focus on what I do and how I best deliver value to my clients and team. For clients that prefer to pay by credit card, it allows you to deliver the invoice via a web portal with the ability to pay via PayPal with your cc. Cons I still feel that the project setup scenarios could be simplified and / or streamlined. I've used Harvest for over 10 years and they have consistently added features and addressed certain gray areas that the software couldn't really account for, but I do think that if they were rebuilding the platform knowing what they know now, they would make it even more straightforward and simple from that standpoint. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Harvest Harvest was simply the best and cleanest designed and most intuitive and user friendly of all of the options that we researched with all the necessary features but not a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles that would be meaningless to most individuals. Review Source Raido D. Ceo Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Harvest -Cutting Through the Noise of Time Tracking software" September 4, 2024 4.0 I was searching for something different from the usual behemoth of time-tracking software that we've used and become familiar with over the years. I wanted something new—smart and efficient—that would suit a small team while covering the fundamental needs we cared about. That's when I first discovered Harvest.It's overwhelming to think about the sheer number of apps and software options available, and it’s easy to get lost in the process of choosing one. You could almost need a separate suite of tools just for that purpose alone. But once you cut through the noise, you can find something truly great amidst the whirlpool of options. Harvest excels in its simplicity and intuitive design. The interface is clean and user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and start tracking time right away. One feature that stood out to me was the ability to track time across multiple projects simultaneously. This is particularly useful for those juggling various clients or tasks and was one of our requirements. Pros The integration with other tools like Trello, Asana, and QuickBooks is seamless, allowing for a more streamlined workflow. Additionally, the reporting feature is robust, providing detailed insights into how time is spent, which is crucial for billing clients and managing productivity and what not. Cons While Harvest is great overall, it has a few drawbacks. The most significant one for me was the limited functionality of its mobile app. While it works well for basic time tracking, some of the more advanced features, like detailed reporting and invoice generation, are better suited for the desktop version. Depends on what year are you reading this things ofcourse might have gone better. Additionally, the pricing structure might feel a bit steep for freelancers or small teams, especially when compared to other time-tracking tools that offer similar features at a lower cost. However, comparing features alone doesn’t always capture the full experience of how smoothly the software works in practice. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/) Needed something new for a small team and wanted to break free from old to get different perspective and new ideas how to improve and grow Review Source Response from Harvest September 13, 2024 Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad Harvest feels intuitive and that you're getting good insights out of our reports. I've also noted your feedback on our mobile app and pricing for the rest of the team. LK Lisa K. Graphic Designer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest for time tracking works best for me!" December 11, 2022 5.0 I definitely will continue to support, utilize and spread the word myself about Harvest! Pros 1\. The ease of use through a clean, simple interface. It is not cluttered, confusing or complicated.2. The affordable aspect of this for my use specifically. I am one freelancer, not a big company, so needing minimal features still works so well for me at this time.3. Support has been excellent with real people who care, and attend to my needs right away. Cons I have not seen as much advertisement or marketing on social media these days on Harvest, which is unfortunate, because it is so wonderful and needs more visibility! Reason for choosing Harvest It worked for me in the past, when I was first starting out as a freelancer, and it has proven over the years to work well and is reliable for me to this day. Review Source AW Andualem W. Researcher Biotechnology Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Efficient Time and Expense Tracking with Harvest Software" March 7, 2023 4.0 I have used Harvest software for project management and time tracking purposes. One of the key features that I found useful is the time tracking function, which allowed me to track the time spent on tasks, projects, and clients. This helped me to manage my time more efficiently and accurately bill my clients.In addition, I have also used the project management feature, which enabled me to create tasks, assign them to team members, set due dates, and track progress. This helped me to stay on top of my projects and ensure that tasks were completed on time.I have also used the invoicing feature, which allowed me to create and send invoices to clients based on the time spent on tasks. The software also provided the option to set up recurring invoices and track payment status, which made invoicing more efficient and streamlined. Pros 1.Time tracking: Harvest is particularly effective at tracking time for individuals and teams, providing users with detailed reports that help them manage their time more effectively.2.Project management: Harvest's project management features are powerful and user-friendly, allowing users to easily collaborate and manage tasks across multiple projects.3.Invoicing and payments: Harvest streamlines the invoicing process, making it easy to send invoices to clients and track payments.4.Integration: Harvest integrates with a wide range of other software and tools, including accounting and CRM systems, which can help businesses manage their operations more efficiently. Cons 1.Pricing: Harvest can be expensive for businesses that need to use multiple features or have a larger team.2.Limited customization: Some users may find that Harvest's features are too rigid and don't allow for enough customization to meet their specific needs.3.Reporting limitations: While Harvest provides detailed reports, some users may find that the reporting functionality is limited in certain areas. Switched from [Toggl](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Switching from Toggl to Harvest software offer me more comprehensive project management features, built-in invoicing functionality, and customizable reporting. With Harvest, you can manage tasks, track progress, collaborate with team members, and invoice clients based on time spent on tasks, all in one platform. Review Source Glen M. Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Industy-leading Time Tracking and Invoicing" August 3, 2023 5.0 Harvest has benefitted our business since inception. I tested all the tools, and this is the one we use and recommend to everyone we know with a SMB. Pros Harvest has the best time-tracking in the industry, their Mac app is perfect for capturing time throughout the day (and even has a built-in notification if it thinks you've left it running and will auto-adjust accordingly if you let it). It also has deep integrations with other Project Management tools that mean you can easily track time wherever you are. And then you have estimates and invoicing - which again, seamlessly integrate with the time tracking functionality to make your life easy. Cons It'd be great if they had an estimate to project function that could auto-setup a job when an estimate is approved. Currently this is the only manual feature. Retainer reports are also a little confusing as they don't obviously isolate actual payments from retainer balance updates. Switched from [FreshBooks](https://www.capterra.com/p/142390/FreshBooks/) Harvest had much better time tracking, and was more affordable. Review Source KH Kurt H. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest is a Perfect Solution for Time Tracking and Billing" June 22, 2022 5.0 Everyone in the agency from me, the owner, to all of our team members love using Harvest. It's so easy to use, between the desktop version to the mobile app. It's been a lifesaver to make keeping track of time and budgets for our marketing agency. Pros I started my marketing agency in 1999. I used manual, paper solutions for time tracking for the first few years. After much research we found Workamajig in 2004 to switch to an online solution. It served its purpose for many years but everyone struggled with it and found it not user friendly at all. After many attempts we found Harvest in 2018. I played with it for a few days at the end of a month then ripped the bandaid and switched to it on the 1st of a month. It was SO user-friendly everyone loved it out the gate and we have never looked back. It's so great for time tracking and quick insight into projects and budget status at the client, project and task level. I love it! Cons It's very hard to complain about Harvest. I really love it. I do wish it had the ability to set budgets for staff by clients/projects so we can see how booked up our team is and better manage their time allocation. There is a second-party project Harvest syncs with to try to do this, but it does not work the way we needed it to so we dropped it after a brief trial. Switched from [Workamajig](https://www.capterra.com/p/10533/Workamajig/) We wanted a more user-friendly version and Harvest nailed it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Software Development Engineer Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good information about time worked" April 30, 2024 3.0 It was a fairly fluid collaborative experience, but I think we needed more development on the part of the program, in fact we like that the program can do time tracking things and serve as a collaborative space so that we can have more development in the team. Pros We spent a long time using Harvest with the development team, it gave us an order of the order of time that we carried out in the work group, it had a good way of measuring what we did, it had real tracking in which you started by turning on the PC and finished turning it off. This somewhat automated the records. Cons Extremely basic reports, we believe that it was necessary to obtain more than just time and tasks in the report but rather to obtain access indications of collaborators and in the parts when entering each collaborator who made it, perhaps we needed a little more from harvest. Switched from [FreshBooks](https://www.capterra.com/p/142390/FreshBooks/) It was a program more focused on accounting but it still did a good job of access time. 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. Review Source LS Lisa S. Business Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clean, Simple to Use, Good Invoicing features. Features for Fixed-fee billing not the best." August 12, 2019 4.0 We absolutely loved Harvest and could not recommend it highly enough. However, with the change to limit phone support, plus the software's limitations in working with fixed fee pricing (which our industry is moving rapidly to), we're unfortunately in the process of looking for a new time-tracking app. Pros 1) Clean, simple, easy to use interface for daily time tracking. 2) Ability to monitor team's time real-time 3) Ability to track real-time billable Revenue 4) Invoicing features 5) inexpensive Cons 1) No real-time phone support. Originally, Harvest had real-time phone support, but a while back they (suddenly) changed their phone support from real-time to only scheduled appointments. We've often found that support appointments are not usually available until a while later in the same day, or often the next day, which has been difficult because there is no way to get quicker phone support if needed. Appointment blocks are limited to 15 minute, and in our experience, once 15 minutes is up, the rep will say they have to go because the appointment is over, even if the issue has not been resolved yet. 2) Unfortunately, we've found that so far, Harvest's features have not been keeping up well with the industry's transition to fixed-fee pricing. Though the did add fixed-fee features (thank you!), unfortunately, we found that they did not really work well for tracking fixed-fee projects: - There is currently no way in Harvest to have recurring, monthly fixed-fee projects (so that you can track time/expenses against these.) - There is currently no way in Harvest to track actual time/costs against fixed-fee project fees - There is currently no way in Harvest to add a one-time fixed-price charge for a project (i.e. one day of Bookkeeping at $ amount.) Support told me that the only way to do this is to add these charges as expenses. However, expenses are not included in the revenue reports that we rely on to run the practice, because they are seen as expenses and not revenue. Reason for choosing Harvest Tsheets interface cumbersome and not intuitive.
