About Harvest
Harvest has been the default time tracker for agencies and consultancies for so long that it can be easy to forget why. The reason is simple: it gets out of the way. The bar for any time tracker is whether the team will actually log hours, and Harvest's desktop timer, browser extension, and mobile app make it almost embarrassing not to. We have rolled it out to teams that historically refused to track time, and within a week the timesheet was just there.
The other thing Harvest gets right is the path from hours to money. Tracked time rolls into invoices with one click, clients pay via Stripe or PayPal from the invoice email, and late payment reminders fire automatically. For freelancers and consultancies that means the entire billable workflow — track, invoice, collect — lives in one tool. Project budgets with proactive alerts at 50%, 75%, and 100% are the difference between catching an overrun mid-week and finding it at month-end review.
It is not the prettiest tracker on the market — Toggl Track and newer entrants have taken bigger swings at modern UI — and resource planning lives in a separate paid product, Harvest Forecast, which feels like it should be bundled at this price. But for billable-hour teams who care more about a workflow that just works than a slick demo, Harvest at $11/seat annually remains the most reliable choice in the category.

What's included
02
Catch budget overruns before they cost you
Project budgets with real-time alerts mean account managers see overruns midweek, not at month-end review. Profitability reports on Premium close the loop.

03
Time tracking that actually gets adopted
The browser extension and desktop timer are low-friction enough that consultants log hours in the moment instead of reconstructing them on Friday.
$787 value
04
Track internal time without an HR-grade rollout
Teams under 50 use Harvest for billable-style internal allocation — engineering hours by initiative, design hours by squad — without buying a full PSA suite.

Frequently asked
Is Harvest really free for solo users?
Yes. The free plan supports one user, two projects, time tracking, basic reporting, and invoicing. It is genuinely usable for freelancers running one or two clients at a time.
How does Harvest compare to Toggl Track?
Harvest leans toward agencies and consultancies that need invoicing built into the tracker. Toggl Track is more tracker-first with stronger analytics. We pick Harvest for billable hours and Toggl for productivity tracking.
Can Harvest send invoices and collect payments?
Yes. Tracked hours roll into invoices in one click, and clients pay via Stripe or PayPal directly from the invoice link. Late payment reminders go out automatically.
Does Harvest do project budgeting?
It does. Set a budget in hours or dollars per project and Harvest alerts when usage crosses 50%, 75%, and 100%. Budget overruns surface before the project is finished, not after.
What integrations are available?
Native integrations cover Asana, Trello, Jira, Basecamp, Slack, GitHub, QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, and PayPal. There is also a public API and Zapier connector for everything else.
Is Harvest a good fit for an agency over 10 people?
Yes, especially on the Teams plan at $11/seat annually. Larger agencies often jump to Premium at $14/seat for profitability reporting, timesheet approvals, and SSO.
