Using harvest is a great experience and made my life easy especially with learning curve and project collaboration.
Pros: Customer support, its security and features, time tracking method is really awesome. The UI experience is also extremely wonderful.
Cons: Nothing I can think of. I have been using harvest for almost three plus years now and I don't find any issues.

My overall experience with Harvest has been very positive. It is an intuitive and reliable time-tracking tool that simplifies project management, invoicing, and reporting. The user-friendly interface makes it easy to track hours accurately, while its integrations and reporting features help improve productivity and financial visibility. Overall, it has been an effective solution for managing time and streamlining workflows.
Pros: What I liked most about Harvest was its clean, intuitive interface and how easy it makes time tracking, invoicing, and reporting. It simplifies day-to-day workflow without adding unnecessary complexity, which makes it especially effective for teams that want efficiency and visibility in one platform.
Cons: What I liked least about Harvest was its limited customization options, particularly in reporting and invoice design. Additionally, some features felt basic for more complex project management needs, and pricing can become relatively high as teams scale.

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.
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.
Deniz M. · Fractional CFO · Financial Services · March 20, 2026
I have used Harvest for a number of years and am more than happy overall. I find it is reasonably priced but wouldn't suggest any significant increases as I would question my other options.
Pros: Very easy to use so an easy learning curve, two factor authentication ensures security, excellent timetracking and project job costing, I use this for billing and integrates with Xero accounting software. I haven't come across any bugs and/or issues and never had to contact customer support. I can increase or reduce my team numbers at any stage and my costs are instantly amended.
Cons: I manage payments via Xero and these do not flow through to Harvest. I find the reporting is limited as I would like to see the discounts I provide clients and do a little more reporting on clients billings etc.
Debbie M. · Owner · Accounting · January 22, 2026
Straightforward, clean time tracking and invoicing, dependable daily use, great for teams and freelancers.
Pros: Clean interface, effortless time tracking, strong invoicing, and clear reporting that’s easy to understand and share.
Cons: Somewhat limited customization and higher cost for small teams, features feel basic for advanced needs.
Anonymous User · Account Exec · Public Relations and Communications · January 16, 2026
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.
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.
Sarah C. · Senior Software Engineer · Computer Software · January 15, 2026
Overall Harvest has been a good and reliable time tracking, and project management product. It's also setup to be integrated with Helpdesk ticketing systems.
Pros: Time tracking, project management/collaboration and integration. I like the ability to have it integrated with Zendesk.
Cons: The different tabs for adding/editing time for certain projects can be buggy. Sometimes manually adding time does not save and it requires you to go back and add the time again.
Anonymous User · Systems Administrator · Food & Beverages · December 30, 2025
Pros: Very customizable with the time sheet options and the ability to add categories and sub categories to a specific time block. Easy to learn right away with a simple and clean user interface and able to easily edit time so it is not rigid or if you accidentally forget it on you can go back and fix it.
Cons: I don't like that it does not send you the "did you leave your timer on" towards the end of my work day as a reminder to turn it off. Instead I get it at odd hours or the next morning and I have to figure out when I actually stopped working because the clock just keeps going.
Stephanie L. · Compliance Specialist · Financial Services · December 29, 2025
Somme toute, c'est très agréable de travailler avec Harvest. Le visuel est beau, les fonctionnalités sont simples et facile d'accès.
Pros: C'est vraiment facile de comptabiliser le temps en entrant peu de données pour y arriver puisque plusieurs données de base ont été entrées en amont. L'utilisation de la plateforme est simple et se former est facile!
Cons: Il y a certains rapports qui sont limités et qui ne permettent pas d'avoir des données pourtant importantes.
Mylène J. · Directrice du recrutement durable · Human Resources · November 13, 2025
Detailed reporting and analytics: Generate insights on time spent, team productivity, budgets, and profitability to inform decisions.
Pros: Expense tracking and team management: Log expenses, approve timesheets, and monitor billable hours with automated reminders.
Cons: Limited offline access: Requires internet for most functions, posing issues in low-connectivity areas.
Junior T. · Data Processor · Accounting · November 4, 2025
Very positive, very easy to understand and we all used it for a small company for a long time, as we grew it was harder to use.
Pros: The most simple time tracking software i've ever used! Easy to understand and very good at time tracking and project timesheets.
Cons: Unfortunately there's other products out there that offer multiple additional features, Harvest is just time tracking whereas others offer billing etc.
Harry D. · Paid Media Manager · Marketing and Advertising · November 3, 2025
Muy limpia, una vez que tienes los permisos ya puedes asignar tiempo a proyectos de forma muy intuitiva, sin necesidad de estar haciendo hacks en el teclado como en otros softwares
Pros: Simplicidad. No hay complicaciones en la interfaz de usuario. Recordatorios no intrusivos. Facilidad de uso. Poder colocar solo un número y que se autorellene el ":00" después, para poner horas.
Cons: Más visibilidad para gestionar o acceder a proyectos. Sería bueno poder, como usuario, solicitar al responsable ser incluido en diferentes proyectos
Sergio F. · DevOps Engineer · Internet · October 10, 2025
Pros: Harvest is excellent for managing my time tracking across multiple clients, and multiple projects for each of those clients. Having worked in a previous organization that required time tracking, yet didn’t have a tool implemented, it was so cumbersome to maintain my time on a spreadsheet. 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).
Cons: Nothing—gets the job done well for my use case! It could be nice if using the PTO code would sync with PTO tracking in our HRIS, but it’s possible that’s a setting our team hadn’t enabled.
Olivia R. · VP of Finance · Financial Services · August 20, 2025
Overall a solid platform as long as you have a normal work pattern and does save time on the expenses side.
Pros: From a user perspective it is easy to use and manage and the expense capture from the phone app makes it very easy to capture as soon as you get a receipt in your hand.
Cons: The calendar is set to a standard working week (Mon to Fri) however when with clients in Saudi Arabia the working week is Sunday to Thursday so a week is split over 2 time sheets and can't be adjusted. Does make it a little manual when creating client invoices and timesheet matching.
Mike S. · Transformation Director · Management Consulting · July 17, 2025
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.
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.
Trent B. · Director of Client Care · Telecommunications · June 26, 2025
As I mention above very easy to use, tracking exactly how much time its spend on which project and on which client
Pros: I liked how you could separate the clients and the products, very easy to use and very understandable
Cons: Well to be honest there is no such a thing like I liked the least, its very good time keeping tool and I state that
Ivana M. · Account Specialist · Marketing and Advertising · May 30, 2025
For the price, It deliver on what it promise. Quite satisfied with ease of us to track time, we do not need to spend much time on training contractors to use it.
Pros: I have used Harvest for almost 3 years now. Overall, I am satisfied with it. I used it with some contractors and also for my self. I does the job it is designed for. Quite easy to track time on a project.
Cons: It could benefit from easier access to create new clients and project. Something faster and straight forward. Also, tracking not invoiced hours could gain for being more intuitive.
Jean M. · CEO · Financial Services · May 22, 2025
Harvest is a fantastic piece of software and I recommend it to any other web developers who are considering getting into freelancing. It simplifies my time tracking and invoicing so I can focus on building applications.
Pros: I love the MacOS app, which sits at the top of my screen. In particular, I love the feature which detects when I've been inactive so I can remove any time I might have recorded when I'd accidentally left the timer running. Several of my clients have also commented on how well presented the time reports are that I send over to show where my billable time has been spent.
Cons: Although the Android application is useful, it doesn't have feature parity with the desktop website. You can't view things like the "uninvoiced amount" (if it is there, I can't seem to find it) which is something I check regularly on the desktop.
Ashley A. · Web Developer · Computer Software · April 22, 2025
I have used Harvest for contract work and love that it creates projects with tasks that are fully customizable with things like fee schedule. 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. As someone with ADHD, this works really well for time tracking.
Pros: I love the ease in which this works and the organization of it, I have recommended to folks.
Cons: I don’t have anything negative to say about it, I keep using it because I like it.
Sierra C. · SLP · Hospital & Health Care · April 21, 2025
I had a fair experience with this program I would recommend this program for any business looking to thrive and free up time
Pros: I can see all my employees clock in from my mobile device manage all reports and set up task assignments for each person
Cons: Price small business looking for an easier way to run a business not enough revenue
Eustacia S. · Outreach Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · April 14, 2025
Pros: I like the color scheme and the flexibility
Cons: I don’t like how the projects are difficult to bring over from week to week
Ellie S. · Founder · Marketing and Advertising · April 13, 2025
Overall, I really love the product. It is easy to use and convenient to manage time for tasks and projects.
Pros: Harvest is a great tool for time tracking - especially for organizations where most/all workers are remote.
Cons: Sometimes, it can be difficult to remember to stop or start the timer. It would help if Harvest had better reminders. Harvest does have some type of reminder if it perceives the clock has run too long. But it doesn't always remind the user until it is way too late.
Luke E. · Content Writer · Marketing and Advertising · April 3, 2025
I started using Harvest to try to more accurate track time across projects. It's super helpful to be able to see how long various tasks that I assign to team members are taking, and to be able to look at an overview of each of my projects as a whole and ultimately generate a nice looking invoice for clients.
Pros: I love how easy and intuitive is it to use Harvest. Tracking time across my various projects is completely painless, and it's super helpful to be able to generate reports and handle invoices!
Cons: I have no complaints, Harvest is amazing! It does exactly what I wanted it to do.
Dominick G. · Sr. Post Producer · Marketing and Advertising · March 25, 2025
I have had a great overall experience since beginning to use Harvest. Find it very user friendly.
Pros: I like the ease of being able to track and bill time.
Cons: I do not love how you enter retainers into the program. But it is probably more user error than how it works. Everything else is SO EASY to operate, that is the only thing I usually question if I am doing right.
Danielle D. · Owner · Marketing and Advertising · March 24, 2025
I’ve been using it for four years with zero headaches and perfect consistency. That’s all I want from a tool. It does its job well.
Pros: It’s easy to use and never glitchy, which is important when tracking hours. Real time sync between phone app and laptop version.
Cons: That the work week is from Sunday to Saturday only and you can’t adjust that. The result is that it’s not synced perfectly with payroll (Rippling) work week. This doesn’t affect whether employees get their money, it’s just the thing I like least, but not really a complaint point.
