Book a demoHere are seven alternatives to Harvest in one table, compared on what each vendor's own site says about price, seat minimums, what a client can open, retainers and invoice payments.
We make Timebun, one of the seven, so read this page as written by one of the options. Every fact about another product was read on that vendor's own site on October 13, 2026, and the pages are listed under Sources.
Harvest is first, for reference. The seven alternatives follow in alphabetical order.

Read on each vendor's own site on October 13, 2026. “Not found on their site” means we looked on the pages listed under Sources and did not see it, which is not the same as the product lacking it.
For Timebun and Harvest alone, with Harvest's full plan table, see Timebun vs. Harvest.
Harvest's home page headline is “Turn hours into profit”. Its pricing page lists a Free plan with 1 seat and 2 projects, Teams at $9 a seat a month billed yearly ($11 billed monthly) and Enterprise at $14 billed yearly ($17.50 billed monthly).
Each paid plan is billed as Flex (usage-based) or Unlimited (fixed price), according to Harvest's help center. On Flex you pay the per-seat rate plus charges for active projects, active clients, active tasks and invoicing above a free allowance, and for a new account those charges begin at the second paid renewal. The same article gives an example of a bill going from $44 for seats alone to $404 once usage is added. Neither it nor the pricing page gives a rate per project, client, task or invoice.
If usage charges are the reason you are looking, the same article says you can switch to Unlimited billing for a flat cost with no usage charges. It does not give that price, which it says is shown in your account under Settings, Billing.
With Harvest, your clients get a dashboard of their invoices and payments, and can pay there through Stripe or PayPal, without signing in.
Clockify calls itself “a time tracker and timesheet app that lets you track work hours across projects”. Its pricing page lists a free plan for up to 5 users, then Basic at $3.99 a seat a month billed annually ($4.99 billed monthly). Invoicing and Approval are listed from Standard, at $5.49 billed annually ($6.99 billed monthly). Scheduling, Expenses and Budget & estimates are listed from Pro, at $7.99 billed annually ($9.99 billed monthly).
Consider it if you want a free plan for up to 5 users, or approval, scheduling and expenses in the same tool as the timer. A client gets a report by link or an invoice PDF. A client login and online payment of invoices were not found on their site.
Everhour's home page reads “Track Time. Build Trust. Stay Profitable.” Its Team plan is $8.50 a seat a month billed yearly, or $10 billed monthly, with a minimum of 5 seats. A free plan covers up to 5 seats with what the page calls limited features. A new account gets a 14-day trial of all features.
Consider it if you have at least five people and want budgets in hours or dollars that reset on a schedule, from daily to yearly, or one budget across several projects for the same client. Its features page also lists timesheets submitted for approval and invoices exported to QuickBooks Online, Xero or FreshBooks.
Hubstaff describes itself as “Time tracking software for hybrid modern global workforces”. Its home page names screenshots added to tracked time and a view of the apps and websites a team uses during work. Its pricing page lists Starter at $4.99 a seat a month on annual billing or $7 on monthly, then Grow and Team, each with a 2-seat minimum. The trial is 14 days with no credit card.
Consider it if you want screenshots and app and website activity recorded next to the hours. A client can be invited as a Project viewer, a role that is not billed and sees assigned projects and their reports, and an emailed invoice can carry a PayPal button.
We make Timebun, which is time tracking, retainers and Stripe invoicing for professional services firms that sell their time, with a portal each client signs in to. Starter is $15 a seat a month ($12 billed yearly), and Unlimited is $199 a month flat ($159 billed yearly), however many people you add, with your logo and colors on the portal. There is no free plan, and the trial is 14 days of everything in Unlimited with no credit card.
Consider it if you sell hours on retainer or in prepaid blocks and want each client to see the hours left and buy more without asking you. What it does not do is listed further down.
TimeCamp's home page headline is “Improve Project Profitability with Time Tracking”. It has a free plan for unlimited users and projects, which does not include invoicing. Paid plans start with Starter at $2.49 a user a month billed annually ($3.49 month-to-month), where invoicing begins. QuickBooks and Xero are add-ons listed on Premium, at $3.99 billed annually ($4.99 month-to-month), and the pricing page lists timesheet approvals and screenshots under Ultimate, at $4.99 billed annually ($6.99 month-to-month). On October 13, 2026 the page showed each annual price beside a crossed-out higher one ($3.99, $6.99 and $9.99).
Consider it if you want a free plan for any number of users, or invoices a client can pay through PayPal. Its help center describes a Guest role that sees reports of tracked time, cannot open timesheets, rates or invoices, and does not count toward your license limit. The article does not say the role is meant for clients.
Timely's home page calls it “The AI time tracker to end time tracking”, and its plans list Automatic Time Tracking and AI timesheets. The pricing page lists four plans, priced per user per month: Starter at $9 billed yearly ($11 billed monthly) with at most 5 users and 20 projects, Premium at $16 billed yearly ($20 billed monthly) with at most 50 users, Unlimited at $22 billed yearly ($28 billed monthly), and Enterprise, priced by its sales team. The trial is 14 days of every feature with no credit card.
Consider it if you want time captured automatically and drafted into timesheets. More than 5 people need Premium or above, where the pricing page also lists planning work for teams and invoices sent to QuickBooks Online.
toggl.com now sells a product named Toggl, and its pricing page says Toggl Track and Toggl Plan stay available and supported for existing users. The figures here are from toggl.com/pricing as it read on October 13, 2026, unless a sentence names the Toggl Track help center. Toggl's site says it “gives teams the time data they need for better capacity, profitability, and project planning”.
That pricing page lists a Free plan at $0, Starter at $9 a user a month billed annually ($12 billed monthly), Premium at $16 billed annually ($24 billed monthly) and Enterprise on request. Its FAQ says the free plan covers up to 3 users. The Toggl Track help center lists different Premium prices for Toggl Track, so if that is the product you use, check its own page.
Consider it if you want timesheet approvals, which the pricing page lists under Premium, or budgets in hours or fees that recur for retainer clients. Clients can be invited as guests to view their projects, and guests cannot track time or open reporting and billing. The pricing FAQ says Toggl does not monitor employees, take screenshots or record keystrokes. The Toggl Track help center describes a QuickBooks Online integration on its paid plans.
Timebun is for firms that sell hours on retainer or in prepaid blocks and want their clients to see the balance and buy more. A client signs in and sees the hours left, the time entries behind them and their invoices. From the same place they pay through Stripe, buy another block of hours or change their retainer plan. Client logins never take a seat.
It does not have the things in this table. For each one, the right-hand column names the products on this page whose own sites say they have it.
| Timebun does not have | Products here whose sites say they do |
|---|---|
| Timesheet approvals | Harvest, Toggl (under Premium), Clockify (Approval, from Standard), Everhour, TimeCamp (under Ultimate) and Hubstaff. |
| Resource scheduling | Harvest (through Forecast), Clockify (Scheduling, under Pro), Everhour, Timely (planning work for teams, on Premium and Unlimited) and Hubstaff. Toggl's pricing page lists a Capacity Management add-on. |
| Employee monitoring or screenshots | Hubstaff (screenshots, apps and websites), TimeCamp (Screenshots, under Ultimate) and Clockify (Activity monitoring and GPS tracking, under Pro). |
| A QuickBooks or Xero sync | Harvest and Everhour (QuickBooks Online or Xero), TimeCamp (both, as add-ons on Premium) and Clockify (QuickBooks from Standard, Xero as an add-on). Toggl Track, Timely and Hubstaff name QuickBooks. |
| A tax line on invoices | We did not read the other vendors' pages for sales tax or VAT, so ask each one. |
| A free plan | Harvest (1 seat, 2 projects), Clockify (up to 5 users), Everhour (up to 5 seats), TimeCamp (unlimited users, without invoicing) and Toggl (a limited number of users). Timebun has a 14-day trial instead. |
How much history you can take out of Harvest depends on the product you move to. This is what each vendor's own page says its import carries, read on October 13, 2026.
| Product | What the vendor says comes across | Limits the vendor states |
|---|---|---|
| Clockify | Projects, clients, tasks and time entries, from a CSV file exported from Harvest | Invoices, expenses and rates: not found in that help article. |
| Everhour | Not found on their site | |
| Hubstaff | A Harvest import: not found on their site. Projects can be imported from a CSV, XLS or XLSX file. | |
| Timebunour product | Clients, projects, tasks (as activity codes), people and time entries. Time already invoiced in Harvest arrives marked as billed. | Invoices, payments and expenses stay in Harvest. Per-person and per-task rates are set again in Timebun. Part of the Unlimited plan and of the trial. |
| TimeCamp | Users, time entries, clients, projects and tasks. Entries keep their dates, times, notes and billable status. | A one-way move. Needs a Harvest account ID and access token. |
| Timely | Projects and clients, users and tags. Time entries: not found in that help article. | Imported users are not invited automatically. |
| Toggl | Clients, projects, tasks, time entries and billable rates | Up to 12 months of time entries. Invoices, expenses, project codes, notes, custom fields and archived data are not imported. A paid plan feature, run by an organization admin. |
| Keito | Clients, projects, tasks, people, time entries, expenses, invoices, payments and estimates | “Retainers do not migrate automatically” |
| Invoisin | Clients, projects, tasks, billable hours, past invoices and payments | None stated on its home page |
Keito and Invoisin are not in the comparison above. They are in this table because their sites say their Harvest import carries invoices and payments, which Timebun's and Toggl's do not.
Timebun's Harvest import is part of the Unlimited plan and of the 14-day trial. It reads from Harvest with an administrator's access token and changes nothing there, and running it again does not duplicate what it already brought in. We used it to move our first customer, Lev Legal, from Harvest to Timebun, with 18,861 time entries.
Three ways a firm can bill clients for its time: hourly, a monthly retainer, or a prepaid block of hours. When each fits and what clients need to see.
Client experienceClients on retainer ask how many hours are left because they budget them. Answer with six facts in a monthly statement, and a page they can check in between.
Five of the seven publish a way to bring Harvest data in, according to their own sites on October 13, 2026. Toggl, TimeCamp, Clockify and Timebun each bring clients, projects, tasks and time entries, and TimeCamp and Timebun bring your users too. Toggl also brings billable rates but takes at most 12 months of time entries and needs a paid plan, Clockify works from a CSV file you export from Harvest, and Timebun's import is on the Unlimited plan. Timely brings projects, clients, users and tags, and time entries were not found in its help article. For Everhour and Hubstaff, a Harvest import was not found on their sites.
That depends on how the plan is billed. Harvest's help center says each paid plan is billed as Flex (usage-based) or Unlimited (fixed price). On Flex you pay a per-seat rate plus charges for active projects, active clients, active tasks and invoicing above a free allowance, starting at the second paid renewal for a new account. The article gives an example of a bill going from $44 for seats alone to $404 once usage is added. Unlimited billing is a flat cost with no usage charges, at a price shown in your account's billing settings. Read on October 13, 2026.
Yes. On October 13, 2026, Clockify listed a free plan for up to 5 users, Everhour for up to 5 seats and TimeCamp for unlimited users, without invoicing. Toggl's pricing page listed a Free plan for a limited number of users, and Harvest's own Free plan covers 1 seat and 2 projects. Timebun has no free plan, and its trial is 14 days of everything in Unlimited with no credit card.
Each vendor describes something different. Toggl lets you invite clients as guests to view their projects. Clockify, Timely, Everhour and Toggl Track share a report by link. TimeCamp has a Guest role limited to reports, though its help article does not say the role is for clients. Hubstaff has a Project viewer role that sees assigned projects and their reports. In Timebun each client signs in to a portal with their hours left, time entries and invoices. A balance of prepaid hours was not found on the other vendors' sites as of October 13, 2026.
Harvest's site describes timesheet approvals, team scheduling through Forecast, and invoices and payments copied to QuickBooks Online or Xero. Timebun has none of those, and its invoices carry no tax line. Harvest also has a Free plan for 1 seat and 2 projects, where Timebun has a 14-day trial.
We did not test the other products. Every statement about one of them is what its own site said on the date shown, and a price is the one its page printed with the billing period beside it.
Harvest, Toggl, Clockify, Everhour, Timely, TimeCamp and Hubstaff are the products named most often across 15 published lists of Harvest and Toggl alternatives that we read on October 13, 2026. Timebun is here because we make it.
If something here is out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.
Every trial is 14 days of everything in Unlimited, with no credit card, and the Harvest import is part of it. After the trial, Starter is $15 a seat a month, and Unlimited is $199 a month flat, however many people you add, with your logo and colors on the portal.
