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. 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. MC Maysa C. Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The interface looks a bit dated" October 3, 2024 4.0 Harvest is a great choice for freelance graphic designers looking for a simple and effective tool to manage their time and billing Pros Intuitive interface for tracking time on each project, eh? Powerful tools to generate professional invoices, and the price is right, bud Cons The interface could be a bit more modern, hey? And some advanced features require a paid subscription Review Source Response from Harvest November 1, 2024 Thanks for the kind words! I've noted your feedback on our UI for the rest of the team. SB Sammantha B. Consultant Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Platform for Self-Employed" October 28, 2024 5.0 Overall, Harvest has been great! I’m glad I found it for tracking my contracted time. Pros I love the invoicing option within Harvest. Cons Wish I could name projects the same name just with different codes Review Source Response from Harvest November 1, 2024 Thanks for the kind words! Harvest started as a tool to help our founders track their time and invoice clients for their two-person business, and we love hearing about other small businesses and self-employed folks finding us. EK Edward K. App integrations specialist Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Alternatives considered [Toggl Track](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Reason for choosing Harvest At the time, down to integrations with Xero. Review Source Response from Harvest November 1, 2024 Thanks for the compliments on our UI! I've noted your feedback on our reporting for the rest of the team. 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. MW Max W. General Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple tool to get started but lacks potential to scale" October 4, 2024 2.0 Its a simple product that can be quickly setup and used for simple time tracking and invoice generation. Pros Ease of use. Theres basically nothing you can do wrong. Cons The small amount of functionalities and the lack of customization possibilities. Review Source Response from Harvest November 1, 2024 Thanks for the compliments on our ease of use! I've noted your interest in more customization for the rest of the team. RC Roy C. Director Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excels at time tracking and expenses, don't look for more." December 4, 2024 4.0 Pros Does exactly what it says it can do, track time and it does it well. Cons Only does one thing for the monthly price that adds up per seat. 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. CK Cynthia K. Director E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Harvest is a decent tracker" October 27, 2024 3.0 offered a variety of time tracking capabilities but didnt seem to allow you to manually enter in time Pros easy to use but wanted to manually enter in time Cons too expensive, required constant monitoring Review Source Response from Harvest November 1, 2024 Good news! Harvest does allow you to manually enter time instead of running a live timer, if you prefer. Check out this article to see how: http://bit.ly/3AeUdlw.

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.

VR Verified Reviewer Content Editor Online Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Efficient and well-integrated time-tracker tool" September 1, 2024 4.0 Pros The best thing about Harvest for me is how it well it can be integrated with other tools, so you can log your time from anywhere. Cons The only thing I don’t really like about Harvest is that it’s quite pricey. Review Source Response from Harvest September 13, 2024 Thanks for the kind words! We love hearing that our integrations are helping you track time efficiently, and I've noted your feedback on pricing for the rest of the team. 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. AM Andrée-Anne M. 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.com](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. Alternatives considered [PayPal Invoicing](https://www.capterra.com/p/179253/PayPal-Invoicing/)[Wave](https://www.capterra.com/p/178021/Wave-Apps/)[Toggl Track](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Reason for choosing Harvest It was affordable and easy to use, and I never heard any customer complaints! 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 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 Track](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.
