Time tracking, invoicing, and project budgeting for agencies and consultancies.
Harvest has been around since 2006 — practically ancient in SaaS years. But it survives because it does one thing exceptionally well: tracking time and turning that data into invoices, budgets, and reports. No bloated feature bloat, no "AI project management" buzzwords — just solid, reliable time tracking.
Who it's for: Agencies, consultancies, law firms, and freelance teams that bill by the hour. If you need to track billable time and send professional invoices, this is your tool.
Start/stop timer or log time manually. Track by project, task, and client. Timesheet reminders, weekly approvals, and mobile app for on-the-go tracking.
Convert tracked hours into professional invoices with one click. Retainer billing, fixed-fee invoicing, expense tracking, and online payments via Stripe/PayPal.
Set hourly or fee-based budgets per project. Get alerts at 50%, 75%, 90% spent. Visual reports show profitability and team utilization at a glance.
Deep reporting on project profitability, team capacity, client revenue, and billable vs. non-billable ratios. Export to CSV or send weekly summaries.
Harvest is the gold standard for time tracking and invoicing. It's not trying to be a project management tool or an AI assistant — it's a purpose-built time tracker that does its job flawlessly. If your business bills by the hour, Harvest pays for itself in the first week.
