Harvest
About Harvest
Harvest is an online time and expense tracking tool for teams and projects of all sizes. Harvest harnesses the power of time tracking to help users answer critical questions about their team's time, project progress, and the health of the business. Plus, it turns billable time into invoices that make it easy to get paid online. Businesses can use Harvest to carry out time tracking, expense tracking, project management, billable hours tracking, task assignment, invoicing, scheduling, and more.
One of the biggest challenges with tracking time is getting team members to do it. The Harvest app - available for Mac, Windows, iPhone, and Android - makes time tracking easy for teams by letting them track time in the way that's easiest for them. Users can track time as they work - by starting a timer from their desktop, phone, or browser - or enter hours all at once, after they're done. Harvest even integrates with third party tools including Asana, Basecamp, and Trello - so that team members can track time from applications they already use.
Harvest also helps businesses put that timesheet data to work by turning it into intuitive, visual graphs that provide insight into teams and projects. Managers can see what each team member has worked on and what's taking up the most time. See project cost, how much time has been tracked to each project, how much budget is left, and how many billable hours have been worked. And when it's time to invoice clients, Harvest allows users to create an invoice right from the tracked time within the application. Email this data to each client and get paid online with the help of PayPal and Stripe integrations.
A monthly subscription to Harvest costs $12 USD/person/month (billed monthly) or $10.80 USD/person/month (billed annually). A free plan is available for single users. Discounts are available for nonprofit organizations and educational institutions.

It eliminates the complexity and difficulty of keeping track of time and is very easy to use. We can see how much time is being spent on which projects and for which clients.
Pros
Harvest is a convenient tool for keeping tabs on time and money spent on various projects and clients. We use it to monitor expenditures in real time and to plan for future initiatives by analyzing past work and resources.
Cons
There have been no problems where I have been unable to complete a task. There aren't any serious issues, however, the platform might need some further functionality since it's so basic.

We've had an excellent time implementing and training staff with Harvest. It's exporting to our Quickbooks is excellent, and I'd recommend it to any small business as the cost is totally worth it.
Pros
We were able to implement Harvest within an hour and train all staff within another hour. The ease of use is excellent, and reoccurring invoicing has been super helpful.
Cons
We've had a few issues with numbered invoices going from 100 to 400 (example) and support wasn't the easiest to work with.

It provided a platform for time entry, but due to the lack of user buy in, I don't think it provided accurate time entry.
Pros
Harvest was able to produce reporting that we could use for capturing capitalizable time and it was easy to update cost rates.
Cons
Time entry was difficult to do quickly, due to difficulties selecting the correct projects, etc. The reporting was outdated (the file would be sent to your email; you weren't able to just download the file at the time of export). It was difficult to identify the role of the various users without clicking into their profile.

High quality timesheet tool
Reviewed on 2024/09/23
Pros
Quality. The UI is very slick; they've really gone deep on how people use the product. Things like keyboard shortcuts and supporting regular vs decimal time when entering timesheets are a real time saver.
Cons
Some of the month-by-month project reporting requires paging through each month. It would be nice to see several months in one view.

Harvest is great. It helps my Job keep track of multiple clients and what I do for them. Makes it easy to break down each task and even comment about the task
Pros
I like how if you have to manually enter the number of minutes into the system and it converts the time to the decimal percentage for you. Harvest doesn't make you have to stop and figure it out yourself
Cons
Very touchy. If you accidentally hit enter or esc you must start all over
Response from Harvest
Thanks for the kind words, Bambi! I've made a note of your feedback re: the enter and escape keys for our team.
