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.

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
Common Sense
You can tell Harvest programmers and staff have their heads on straight. Love this program, makes invoicing easy.
Abandoned
Abandoned. Took my data with them, shared it with their sales team to give to competitors.
Unauthorized upgrade
Horrible update! Woke up to over a $1900 charge on my debit card without my authorization. Harvest assumed that their new upgraded, yearly subscription would be great for my SMALL business with a single user-me! . I don’t even make $20,000 a year and they stole $1900 out of my account! Luckily they refunded it but I had to cancel my debit card. Even then they said that my finances are actually tied to my bank account and not my debit card. DISGUSTING!!
Now I tried to downgrade to the free plan and they won’t even let me alter my active projects to fit the parameters of a free plan until I pay! I hate the new features and new subscription model. There’s no 24 hour live chat at all. They steal your money and limit the mobile app so you can’t even make changes. You have to use a web browser. I will be canceling all Harvest services. Do not fall for their expensive subscription.

Poor quality app
They used to have a great native iOS app, then they rebuilt it probably using react native or similar and it’s pretty awful. Lately some entries have gone missing! I’m scared they’re going to ruin the macOS app too..
Terrible
I absolutely hate harvest but it is forced on me. Their response to requests for changes is “we don’t like to change”.
This is a wonderful too & very good app
Harvest is the best. The desktop tool is solidly built, feature packed, and has personality without being cutesy with fun quotes about time built into the interface.
The reporting is amazing and so easy to use. Project setup allows for a huge variety of customizations and option settings. The app works seamlessly with the online tool - so much so that I can start a timer for a call while I'm at my desk, get in my car and finish the call, then click the stop button whenever the call is over. Reporting functions are lacking in the app, but as I don't have to run reports on mobile, this isn't a big deal.
As a freelance consultant with multiple clients, and working Mom, I couldn't be nearly as professional or organized with out this tool. I've also used the tool in a team setting - where clear visibility into hours spent by person, task, and client are extremely helpful to staying within time limits and getting work done.
I can't tell you how the help desk support is, because I've never once had to call them. The tool works all the time and is simple to figure out.
HIGHLY recommend you check it out. It's definitely worth the small price tag for the functionality and performance.

Great Tool for Solopreneurs
I have loved using the Harvest app. It’s user friendly and keeps my accounts and billing straight. I also love the timer feature. It helps keep me honest.
Newbie loves it!
Harvest has made my newbie self-employment so easy!! Customer support was very helpful in setting up my company. I had used projects for items that should have been tasks and they gave me great advice. Highly recommend!!
Great little app.
Did exactly wha I needed it to do for a short stint to fulfill my ICA.
Business profitability
Since 2014, change the way of keeping track of all my time, expenses, for every single project and visualise if profitable. Would be out of business without it! : )
Closes randomly
Hard to enter things as app closes reandomly
