- 4 stars: 184 reviews (28%)
- 3 stars: 39 reviews (6%)
- 2 stars: 3 reviews (0%)
- 1 star: 8 reviews (1%)

### Most mentioned pros

- 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).
- Customer support, its security and features, time tracking method is really awesome.
- 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.

### Most mentioned cons

- The benefit of seamless invoicing is completely undermined when 7% of your invoice disappears without warning and support refuses to make it right.
- However, the undisclosed $80 application fee on free trial accounts effectively makes the platform a costly trap for new users evaluating the software.
- Somewhat limited customization and higher cost for small teams, features feel basic for advanced needs.

### An Intuitive Tool for Time Tracking and Project Visibility

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Lukas A.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Marketing and Advertising
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: September 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall, my experience with Harvest has been positive, especially for day-to-day time tracking and project management. The interface is intuitive, and it takes very little effort to start or update a timer throughout the workday. That simplicity makes it easier to keep timesheets accurate without creating extra administrative work for the team. I also appreciate how clearly Harvest shows hours, budgets, and billable activity at the project level. The reporting, in spite of previously shared criticism, works reasonable well for quick status checks. Integrations with other business tools help reduce duplicate work and keep our processes connected. That said, resource planning feels less seamless because Forecast is a separate product rather than a built-in feature. Pricing can also become difficult to justify as the team and usage grow. Despite those limitations, Harvest remains a reliable and user-friendly tool for tracking time and maintaining visibility into project performance.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Harvest makes time tracking quick and painless, so it’s easy to keep timesheets accurate without disrupting the workday. I also like how smoothly logged hours flow into project reporting and invoicing.

#### Cons

Harvest handles the basics well, but some important capabilities feel either underdeveloped or locked behind additional products and higher-priced plans. Reporting is fairly rigid, and Forecast feels more like a separate tool than a native part of the platform. The pricing can also be difficult to justify as the team grows.

### A great tool for time & expense tracking, for teams

- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: January 2026
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

The customer support is reasonably responsive whenever there's any bugs or questions. Overall enjoy using this to keep track of time and file expenses as a company tool. A little expensive for the individual plan but more competitive for premium vs. other options, so this clearly panders to company signups.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It's intuitive and easy to get started using the platform. Keeping track of time is pretty straightforward and there's a decent amount of features.

#### Cons

It would be fantastic if there could be different colored tabs. It's black and white at the top, which looks very nice as part of the overall simplistic theme, but it does make it more difficult to differentiate quickly.

#### Reasons for switching to Harvest

I switched companies; the prior one was using Toggl and the new one uses Harvest.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### 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.

Our company uses Harvest every day to track projects for billing purposes, and to keep track of team KPIs. The reporting feature allows us to come back and properly price out business based on previous project numbers.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

Harvest is pretty intuitive and has a lot of great customization our organization needed for tracking different projects.

#### Cons

When adding new users, it can be difficult to make sure they are setup in the right projects if you have a lot of different projects already. It would be ideal if you can copy profiles from one employee to another.

#### Reasons for choosing Harvest

We are already using Harvest, and the price is right. It also ties into the accounting software we have, so there wasn't a big enough reason to change over.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for the kind words! I've noted your request for a faster, easier way to get your teammates assigned to their projects for the rest of the team.

### Hidden $80 fee silently deducted from my first invoice — zero disclosure, zero refund, unhelpful support

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: Deniz M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Financial Services
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for free trial
- Reviewed: March 2026
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Harvest solves time tracking and client invoicing for solo consultants and the product itself works well. However, the undisclosed $80 application fee on free trial accounts effectively makes the platform a costly trap for new users evaluating the software. The benefit of seamless invoicing is completely undermined when 7% of your invoice disappears without warning and support refuses to make it right.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

The time tracking interface is clean and intuitive. Logging hours against specific clients and projects is straightforward, and converting tracked time into an invoice is seamless. The Stripe integration setup was also simple and quick.

#### Cons

Harvest silently deducts an $80 application fee from invoice payments on free trial accounts — on top of Stripe's standard processing fees. On my first $2,000 invoice, I received only $1,861.70 with zero prior warning. There is no disclosure during onboarding, no warning when setting up Stripe, and nothing shown before the client pays. Customer support was extremely unhelpful — they cited an irrelevant cancellation policy, failed to read my issue, and billing ultimately offered no resolution despite multiple follow-ups.

#### Reasons for choosing Harvest

Harvest was chosen for its clean time tracking interface and straightforward invoicing workflow. In hindsight, the hidden application fee structure makes it the most expensive option despite appearing to be the simplest and most affordable solution for a solo consultant

A clear overview of working hours, reliable billing through time tracking and easy operation. You no longer forget to assign working hours to project and maintain a clear overview. Overall, a truly well-designed solution for managing your time and providing verifiable billing information.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

It helps me keep track of my hours and makes billing easy. It's easy to use and has a helpful visual aid on my desk and the reminder to take a break if I'm working on a project for too long. The support is truly exemplary: fast, straightforward, solution-oriented and friendly. I discovered it online and it works exactly as described.

#### Cons

I haven't noticed anything negative so far, even though we work with many clients, projects and different levels. The software is quick to install and setup. The simple elegance of the software makes time tracking enjoyable again.

### 5x Price Increase After Years as a Customer

- Reviewer: KIMBRA J.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Oil & Energy
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: September 2026
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Intuitive platform that used to be cost effective for small businesses. Our group utilized the platform for time tracking and expense tracking, and we found it to be easy to use on a daily basis.

#### Cons

We have been longtime Harvest customers and were recently notified that our pricing would increase from approximately $6,000 per year to $30,000 per year, a 5x increase. When we questioned the increase, we were told the new pricing already reflected an 85% discount. A price increase of this magnitude is simply not reasonable, so we are leaving Harvest and moving to OneSuite. Based on the recent reviews, it’s clear we are not alone.

If someone else is paying for it, I am happy to use it, but I will forever be mindful of the different tasks I "need" for a project and how to minimize the cost towards whoever is paying for it.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 2/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Harvest was the most accessible time tracking platform I have interfaced with. As a project manager, being able to see how projects move was very helpful, as well as the automated time submission emails.

#### Cons

The price changes to their system made us evaluate alternatives and begin slowly offboarding from Harvest. Even with the discounts, the price changes are vast for a small business or sole prop.

They are deceptive, and their customer support is entirely bot driven so you never speak with a human being. I expect them to get class actioned frankly.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

The software was relatively easy to use as a single operator working on one to two projects at a time with billable expenses.

#### Cons

The incredibly deceptive renewal process that tried to take a single operator that generated 1-2 invoices per month and automatically "renew" me at a rate over 1000% higher than my previous billing level.

### Industy-leading Time Tracking and Invoicing

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### 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.

#### Reasons for switching to Harvest

Harvest had much better time tracking, and was more affordable.

Daily and weekly resource allocation may be made much easier with the use of forecasting. Easy to use and easy to maintain. A daily or weekly timetable is available to everyone working on the project. Simple to use and simple to keep up to date.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

It's simple to keep track of harvest time. Multiple projects and tasks can be created and assigned to various members of your team. It is possible to keep track of the time spent by each individual and compare it to the total number of hours allotted for the project.

#### Cons

An outdated and unfriendly user interface. That would be a great and eye-catching interface to view, in my opinion. As a result, it would be the same as receiving a service or conducting research!

#### Reasons for switching to Harvest

Harvest allows us to keep track of both the time allotted to the project's various tasks and the time actually spent on them. I appreciate that I can replicate the activities from one day to the next to ensure that I am constantly scheduling the same things under the same heading.

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.

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.

#### 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!

#### Reasons 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.

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.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### 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.

I love how easy to use and convenient Harvest is for time tracking and invoicing. It's been a tool that our business has used from the very beginning. I love its simple interface and the recent upgrades have been even more awesome!

There's not much to dislike about Harvest. I only wish it had the same capabilities as more complicated bookkeeping software such as Quickbooks so we could eliminate having additional software for more advanced accounting capabilities.

#### Reasons for choosing Harvest

I chose Harvest over other products as I was already familiar with it in addition to how easy to use and affordable it is compared to other software.
