That\u2019s the story behind most searches for Harvest pricing right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a quick answer to why: <strong>Harvest pricing plans show a per-seat rate, but that\u2019s only the base.<\/strong> On top of it, Harvest started charging usage-based fees once your account passes a set number of projects, tasks, invoices, or clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide breaks down how Harvest app pricing works and how it compares to Clockify\u2019s transparent, predictable pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group key-takeaways\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Harvest has a Free plan and 3 paid tiers: Teams (from $9\/seat\/month annual), Enterprise (from $14\/seat\/month annual), and Enterprise Plus (custom).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harvest\u2019s per-seat price is a base rate; it also has usage fees (Unlimited and Flex packages) for invoices, projects, clients, tasks, and invoiced amount after you exceed the limit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harvest doesn\u2019t publish its usage fee rates. Users don\u2019t know their real bill until they check their account or receive an email from Harvest.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some teams have reported renewal bills several times higher than their previous year, tied to the new usage layer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harvest remains strong on invoicing, payment collection, simplicity, and integrations. The tradeoff is cost predictability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clockify\u2019s plans stay flat per seat with no usage fees.

This is the part that most people miss when they scan the Harvest pricing page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your per-seat rate covers a base allowance of core usage. Once your team creates more invoices, projects, clients, or tasks than that allowance covers, Harvest bills you extra for the overage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harvest doesn\u2019t list these per-unit rates publicly. You have to check your account or wait for a renewal notice to see the real number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"unlimited-usage-billing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unlimited usage billing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though usage pricing isn\u2019t available on the Harvest website, some users have shared their experience with the new pricing on Reddit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the user mr_smith1983\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/HarvestApp\/comments\/1qzb02c\/we_built_a_harvest_alternative_after_getting_a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reddit post<\/a>, their original charge of $180 for 15 seats on the old Pro plan (retired Legacy pricing) would increase to $2,162.50 a month (with a discount) when moved to the new Enterprise plan with Unlimited usage package. They shared their renewal email; screenshot below.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"423\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Harvest-renewal-email-screenshot-from-a-Reddit-user-423x630.webp\" alt=\"Harvest renewal email screenshot from a Reddit user\" class=\"wp-image-41418\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.6685878962536023;width:464px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Harvest-renewal-email-screenshot-from-a-Reddit-user-423x630.webp 423w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Harvest-renewal-email-screenshot-from-a-Reddit-user-201x300.webp 201w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Harvest-renewal-email-screenshot-from-a-Reddit-user-768x1145.webp 768w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Harvest-renewal-email-screenshot-from-a-Reddit-user-8x12.webp 8w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Harvest-renewal-email-screenshot-from-a-Reddit-user.webp 805w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Harvest renewal email screenshot from a Reddit user<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost of the Unlimited package is fixed and currently discounted. For the Reddit user who shared their email, that discount comes to a <strong>fixed $1,900 a month<\/strong>, which is added to the price for the chosen per-seat plan, as shown in the screenshot above ($1,900 + $17.50 x 15 seats = $2,162.50\/month). We can\u2019t be certain whether this discount is the same for everyone or user-specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"flex-usage-billing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flex usage billing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, users can opt for Flex usage billing, which changes every month depending on the company\u2019s account activity. That amount would also be added to the price for the chosen per-seat plan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to another Reddit user, each category of Flex usage charges separately, and it stacks.

A growing team naturally creates more projects, adds more clients, and sends more invoices over time, and each of those additions can add to the bill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cost transparency can be a crucial factor when choosing the right software. With Clockify by CAKE.com, what you see on the <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/pricing\">pricing page<\/a> is what you pay for. All Clockify\u2019s paid tiers are priced per user, with a 20% annual billing discount and no unexpected usage fees.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"613\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockifys-paid-plans-613x630.webp\" alt=\"Clockify\u2019s paid plans\" class=\"wp-image-41420\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.9740740740740741;width:526px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockifys-paid-plans-613x630.webp 613w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockifys-paid-plans-292x300.webp 292w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockifys-paid-plans-768x789.webp 768w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockifys-paid-plans-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockifys-paid-plans.webp 873w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Clockify\u2019s paid plans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"custom-btn wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.clockify.me\/en\/signup\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/app.clockify.me\/en\/signup\">Try Clockify for FREE today<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"an-example-of-what-harvest-actually-costs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">An example of what Harvest actually costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this example, we\u2019ll use an 8-person marketing agency on the Teams plan with a Flex usage package, billed annually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e1f5fe\"><strong>Base seat cost<\/strong>: 8 seats x $9\/seat\/month x 12 months = $864\/year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s the number on the pricing page. But it\u2019s not the number that will show up on your bill if your account passes its included allowance of invoices, projects, clients, and tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s say that your marketing agency has 10 clients, with 10 projects for each client. Each client project has 3 tasks. And you create 10 invoices a month.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind that we won\u2019t account for the amount invoiced, but if it\u2019s more than $3,000 a month, that will be charged, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the bill for the Flex usage package:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10 clients = $15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 projects = $15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 tasks x 10 projects = 30 tasks = $120<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 invoices = $15<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e1f5fe\"><strong>Usage cost<\/strong>: $165\/month or $1,980\/year (assuming you won\u2019t have more of any category the entire time and your monthly invoiced amount won\u2019t go over $3K)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e1f5fe\"><strong>The annual price<\/strong>: Base seat cost ($864\/year) + Usage cost ($1,980\/year) = $2,844\/year<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, if you don\u2019t want to deal with the unpredictable Flex usage package and opt for the Unlimited one (we\u2019ll use the $1,900\/month discounted flat fee), your annual price would be: Base seat cost ($864\/year) + Usage cost ($22,800\/year) = $23,664\/year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your agency prefers Harvest\u2019s Enterprise base plan instead of Teams, the charges would go up by $480 \u2014 so $3,324 a year with the Flex usage package or $24,144 a year with the Unlimited usage package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-much-could-you-save-by-switching-from-harvest-to-clockify\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much could you save by switching from Harvest to Clockify?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The usage fees make Harvest\u2019s real cost hard to predict, which isn\u2019t easy to justify when other apps offer flat, transparent pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th><br><strong>User<\/strong><\/th><th><br><strong>Harvest Teams + Flex<\/strong><\/th><th><br><strong>Harvest Teams + Unlimited<\/strong><\/th><th><br><strong>Harvest Enterprise + Flex<\/strong><\/th><th><br><strong>Harvest Enterprise + Unlimited<\/strong><\/th><th><br><strong>Clockify Standard<\/strong><\/th><th><br><strong>Clockify Pro<\/strong><\/th><th><br><strong>Clockify Enterprise<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>8-people marketing agency<\/td><td>$2,844\/year  (subject to change on a month-to-month basis)<\/td><td>$23,664\/year<\/td><td>$3,324\/year (subject to change on a month-to-month basis)<\/td><td>$24,144\/year<\/td><td>$527.04\/year<\/td><td>$767.04\/year<\/td><td>$1,151.04\/year<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>The Harvest pricing with included usage fees above is illustrative, built from the reported renewal cases mentioned earlier, not a guaranteed figure. That unpredictability is exactly the point. On Clockify, the number of user seats is the number on your bill, whether your team logs 10 projects a month or 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even on Clockify&#8217;s most expensive plan (Enterprise), you\u2019d still save about 60% compared to Harvest\u2019s cheapest paid plan paired with the unpredictable Flex usage package. With the Harvest Unlimited package added to the comparison, Clockify costs 95% less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e1f5fe\">For more detailed feature and plans comparison, as well as the migration guide, read <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/learn\/resources\/moving-from-harvest-to-clockify\/\">Clockify vs. Harvest: Key Differences &amp; How To Switch \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-harvest-got-more-expensive-the-bending-spoons-acquisition\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Harvest got more expensive: The Bending Spoons acquisition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harvest launched in 2006 and was built by Iridesco. Bending Spoons acquired the company in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bending Spoons is an Italian technology company with a <a href=\"https:\/\/techfundingnews.com\/after-aol-and-eventbrite-bending-spoons-lands-first-post-ipo-deal-with-1-3b-airtable-acquisition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">specific playbook<\/a>. It acquires established apps it considers underperforming, then reworks their pricing, features, and operations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The usage-fee model added to Harvest in 2026 follows the same pattern users have reported after other Bending Spoons acquisitions, including Evernote and WeTransfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This doesn\u2019t make Harvest a bad product. It means the per-seat number on the pricing page no longer determines your bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"is-there-a-free-version-of-harvest\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a free version of Harvest?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, Harvest has a Free plan that includes 1 seat and 2 projects, with time tracking, invoicing, and expense tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Harvest Free plan is built for a single freelancer, not a team. The moment you need a 2nd seat or a 3rd project, you\u2019re into paid territory. Also, the free tier doesn\u2019t show you how usage fees will behave once you scale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e1f5fe\">Small teams looking for a free time tracking app may have better luck with Clockify \u2192 <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/learn\/resources\/clockify-free-plan-features\/\">Clockify Free Plan Features, Explained<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"banner banner-light clockify-gradient-pricing\">\n    <div class=\"banner-text lg:pr-16\">\n        <h2 class=\"translation-block text-2xl mb-4!\">Powerful Timer Software<\/h2>\n        <p class=\"translation-block text-xs!\">Use Clockify by CAKE.com to track work hours, attendance, and expenses, create invoices, view employee productivity, and more.<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"banner-buttons d-flex space-x-4 translation-block\">\n            <a class=\"rounded-md px-6 py-2 bg-white text-dark hover:text-primary text-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/app.clockify.me\/en\/signup\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up FREE<\/a>\n\n                            <a class=\"button-2 text-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/learn\/resources\/\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more<\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"banner-image banner-image-middle \">\n        <picture>\n            <source srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/product-blog\/public\/images\/clockify\/banners\/pricing@2x.png 2x\" alt=\"Illustration\"  media=\"(min-width: 1022px)\" \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/product-blog\/public\/images\/clockify\/banners\/pricing.png\"  alt=\"Illustration\" \/>\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"is-harvest-worth-it-in-2026-an-honest-look\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Harvest worth it in 2026? An honest look<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, let\u2019s weigh what Harvest still gets right against what the new pricing makes harder to justify, gathered from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.g2.com\/products\/harvest\/reviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">G2 reviews<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/HarvestApp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harvest subreddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What Harvest does well:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Invoicing that converts <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/project-budgeting\">tracked time and expenses<\/a> into a polished invoice automatically, without manual line-item entry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A simple, uncluttered interface that new team members pick up quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A wide integration list, including QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, Slack, and Asana.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s harder to defend at 2026 prices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cost unpredictability:<\/strong> Your bill depends on usage fees you can\u2019t see until you\u2019re already billed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No retainer tracking:<\/strong> Agencies managing monthly client retainers still need a workaround outside Harvest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No native project management:<\/strong> Boards, task lists, and timelines all need a separate tool.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Limited advanced reporting depth:<\/strong> This complaint predates the 2026 pricing change.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a solo freelancer or a very small team with not that many clients or projects, none of this changes much. For a growing team watching usage climb, however, the calculus is different. You\u2019re paying more for the same core workflow, with less certainty about what the next renewal will look like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group pro-tip\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>CLOCKIFY PRO TIP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more in-depth information about Harvest and its features, check out our honest review article:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/reviews\/harvest-review\">Harvest: An Honest Review by a Competitor (2026)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-predictable-alternative-clockify-by-cake-com\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The predictable alternative: Clockify by CAKE.com<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the appeal of Harvest was simplicity, a predictable bill should be part of that promise. That\u2019s where Clockify\u2019s pricing works differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For starters, Clockify\u2019s Free plan supports up to 5 users, with unlimited time tracking \u2014 no cap on projects, tasks, or clients, and no usage-based fees layered on top.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1097\" height=\"258\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockify-Free-plan.webp\" alt=\"Clockify Free plan\" class=\"wp-image-41421\" style=\"aspect-ratio:4.244897959183674;width:624px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockify-Free-plan.webp 1097w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockify-Free-plan-730x172.webp 730w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockify-Free-plan-768x181.webp 768w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Clockify-Free-plan-18x4.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1097px) 100vw, 1097px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Clockify Free plan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paid plans move to a flat per-seat rate that doesn\u2019t change based on how many projects you run, clients you bill, or invoices you send. That\u2019s what we mean by transparent, predictable pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be direct about the one place that Harvest and Clockify diverge:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Harvest\u2019s invoicing is deeply built into its core workflow, generating invoices straight from tracked time with very little manual setup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Harvest has native payment collection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clockify handles invoicing through its own <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/features\/invoicing\">Invoicing feature<\/a>, built for hourly and fixed-fee billing, but has no native payment option. It\u2019s worth checking whether this matches your exact workflow before you commit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group pro-tip\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>CLOCKIFY PRO TIP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turn your approved, billable Clockify time and expenses into a polished PDF in one click with the Contractor Invoice Generator add-on, available on CAKE.com Marketplace:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/marketplace.cake.com\/addons\/9184266b-5c94-44ca-b852-5c25e350a098\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Contractor Invoice Generator<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s where Clockify and Harvest match, making Clockify a good <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/free-harvest-alternative\">Harvest alternative<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A clean, easy-to-learn interface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Straightforward time tracking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrations with the common accounting and project tools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You get that without wondering what a busier month does to your bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom-btn wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.clockify.me\/en\/signup\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/app.clockify.me\/en\/signup\">Try an affordable Harvest alternative<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"switching-from-harvest-to-clockify-heres-whats-included\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Switching from Harvest to Clockify?

The Enterprise plan starts at $14 per seat per month billed annually, or $17.50 per seat per month billed monthly. Usage-based fees for invoices, projects, clients, and tasks can apply on top of these base rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"is-there-a-free-version-of-harvest\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a free version of Harvest?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, Harvest\u2019s Free plan costs $0 and includes 1 seat and 2 projects, with time tracking, invoicing, and expense tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-harvest-pro\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Harvest Pro?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harvest Pro plan is one of the old Harvest plans (so-called Legacy pricing) that is no longer available. The software\u2019s current paid tiers are Teams and Enterprise, alongside the custom-priced Enterprise Plus tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"is-harvest-invoicing-free\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Harvest invoicing free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invoicing is included on every Harvest plan, including the Free tier. The Free plan is limited to 1 seat and 2 projects. Other usage limits apply as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"is-the-harvest-app-good-for-small-businesses\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Harvest app good for small businesses?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a small team with straightforward time tracking and invoicing needs, Harvest still works well. The consideration is cost predictability as the team and its usage grow, since the bill isn\u2019t fixed to seat count alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-is-the-alternative-to-the-harvest-app\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the alternative to the Harvest app?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clockify is a direct Harvest alternative with a free plan for unlimited time tracking and flat per-seat paid plans with no usage-based fees. Other alternatives include <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/reviews\/toggl-track-review\">Toggl Track<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/reviews\/quickbooks-time-review\">QuickBooks Time<\/a>, depending on whether the priority is simplicity, <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/learn\/resources\/effective-resource-planning\/\">resource planning<\/a>, or accounting integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group pro-tip\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>CLOCKIFY PRO TIP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the software comparison to understand which tool fits the needs of your team the best:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/apps-tools\/clockify-vs-toggl-vs-harvest\/\">Clockify vs. Toggl vs. Harvest: Which Is Right for Your Team?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"is-the-harvest-app-legit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Harvest app legit?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, Harvest is an established, functional time tracking and invoicing product now owned by Bending Spoons. The pricing model changed in 2026, but the product itself remains actively maintained and widely used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-happened-to-harvest-after-the-bending-spoons-acquisition\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happened to Harvest after the Bending Spoons acquisition?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bending Spoons acquired Harvest in 2025 and introduced usage-based fees on top of the existing per-seat pricing in 2026. As a result, some customers have reported renewal bills significantly higher than the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"does-clockify-offer-anything-for-teams-switching-from-harvest\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Clockify offer anything for teams switching from Harvest?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, teams moving from Harvest get an extended 30-day free trial with Clockify, a guided import process for existing data, a tailored sales demo, and tailored onboarding once on a paid plan.
