Harvest review

Harvest is the right pick when hours are what you sell. Time you track on the web, desktop or phone becomes an invoice in a few clicks, together with any expenses logged against the project, and clients pay online through Harvest's Stripe and PayPal integrations. Invoices and payments can be copied to QuickBooks Online or Xero, so your books stay current without re-entry. The free plan is built for individual freelancers and includes 1 seat, 2 projects, time tracking, invoicing, expense tracking and Mac and iOS apps. Teams costs $9 per seat per month billed annually or $11 monthly, with a 30-day free trial, and adds unlimited seats and team reporting, but Harvest notes that additional invoices, projects, clients and tasks above the base rate are billed by usage. It ranks lower here because estimates, contracts and deposits are not part of the offer, so it fits hourly work better than fixed-fee projects.
