Free option works for single client
Switched to this time tracker for 2026 and it has been working well in the free version for one client. I like the ability to add expense receipts. The reminder to send a thank you note for paid bills is a nice touch.

Stick With What Works
For some reason mgt now think everyone that uses their app needs AI embedded in the app. Just the opposite. I build my own agents now for most of my work flows and the only reason I haven’t done it for Harvest is because it does the basics and it doesn’t cost that much a month. All the AI nonsense is getting to the point where I will take the time and build my own tracking agent and cut harvest out of my monthly spend.

Overpriced rip off
Was a great simple app for time tracking that I used for many years but they increased the cost by 10x in August 2026, making it more than $200 per month for me. Pure greed. Cancelled.
Great App, however
We have used Harvest for the past 6 years and it met all of our needs. We recently started using a similar time tracking function in Quickbooks and cancelled our Harvest account on the same day the monthly charge was due. Harvest billed our credit card and will not offer a refund of the monthly fee. OK, no big deal, but this is not the way to treat a longstanding customer.

Be very careful!
We have used Harvest since 2012 and referred a dozen or more businesses. This company just raised our rate from just over $1200 a year to $30,000. Everybody we referred has also received this notice and is scrambling to find a replacement. There are several good options.
It is pure extortion and absolutely terrible business!

It’s perfect!
I never write reviews here but Harvest is such a great app and website that helps me run my business. The interface is easy and has everything I need for time tracking and beautiful invoicing. I’m so grateful that Harvest exists because I would have a hard time running my business without it.
Psychologist
I’ve used this for years but am dropping it after getting an invoice that raised their prices more than 10x what it was previously.
Corporate greed
They were so affordable and helpful and then they got greedy. Super expensive and ridiculous.
Crazy price increase
I’ve been using Harvest for a few year and have found it really useful. It’s fairly intuitive and user friendly with a clean layout however the recent price increase is ridiculous (100% increase!) and so I’m definitely changing to another provider. I’m not sure who would stick around with lots of similar apps out there.

Price increases!
After years of relying on Harvest we’re being forced out by a ridiculous price hike.
The price hikes don’t seem to signal an increase in quality as the Mac app no longer works so I’m forced to track using the phone app. A real bummer when it comes to productivity.

Horrible Pricing Model
Was very disappointed to discover that the cost for the app went from $16/month to a crazy high amount with no warning. Will be moving to another app.
Good app for time management
This app provides a good way to track and mange time. I use this app and the Harvest system every day with success. Keeps me focused and helps my clients understand my efforts in serving their needs when the billing happens.
Unethical Hidden Costs
Harvest was bought out by Bending Spoons and last month we received a bill that jumped from $33 to $153 a month. Others have received surprise bills for thousands of dollars all because Harvest changed the pricing on the platform and didn’t notify their customers effectively. I got an email the day before they charged my card, not leaving enough time to react. Had to spend weeks trying to get a refund on what is a very unethical hidden usage charge structure. The information is not on the pricing page of their website, which it should be. We did weeks of research and even hired an independent IT specialist to review the pricing and this was not visible anywhere. Harvest needs to offer clear information on pricing.
It’s a shame because the app itself was well designed and worked well (thanks to the original developers). However, suddenly charging for every single project, client and task racks up hundreds of dollars of “flex billing” usage costs that are not clearly explained. Relieved we did not sign up for the annual subscription or we would be stuck. Canceling our subscription today. Avoid.

Frustrating
Really bad if you don’t have consistent network connection. Time tracking often fails to save locally or takes a very long time.
Rip off - Avoid like the plague
Beware - Increased their prices from $800 pa to $19,000 pa for the same level of product with 1 month notice. Use literally any other time tracking software instead.
15years Amazing - No more :(
Been a customer for over 15years, pricing strategy in 2026 has put a stop to that, a 900% increase. No thanks! Shocking by the new owners, was to be expected though.
Divine Timing
AnyWho, timing is done
Avoid at all costs
Disgusting to increase pricing 10 fold for exactly the same product and only given long term customers 1 month to move away. Terrible business practice! Do yourself a favour, Find an alternative
I love this app
I lied
