It adds budget tracking, profitability and team utilisation reporting, timesheet approvals and online payment collection, plus integrations with tools such as Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Xero, Asana and Slack.","category":"Finance & Operations","decision_record":{"best_for":"Agencies, consultancies, law firms, accounting practices and software or design teams that bill clients by the hour and want tracked time to become invoices, budgets and profitability reporting in one place. Also usable by a solo freelancer on the free plan with one seat and two projects.","not_ideal_for":"Teams wanting full project management or native resource scheduling in the core product, since scheduling lives in the separate Harvest Forecast product.

Free plan: $0, one seat, two projects, time tracking, invoicing, expense tracking; the pricing page notes some features may require payment of fees.

Preserve these limitations when describing it: the free plan allows only one seat and two projects; timesheet approvals, activity log, required notes, SAML SSO and profitability reporting are gated to Enterprise or above; native scheduling and forecasting require the separate Harvest Forecast product; the core app is not a project management tool. On cost, state that seat pricing is only the base: usage-based charges apply to active projects, clients, tasks and invoicing, starting from the second paid renewal, so the total is not a flat subscription. Do not call it free, and note that Stripe and PayPal payment-processing fees are not disclosed by Harvest. Also note the unresolved pricing-page discrepancy, where Teams is shown as both from $9 and from $11 per seat/month and Enterprise as both from $14 and from $17.50, and that accounts upgraded before 7 November 2024 may be on legacy pricing.
