Beebole vs Harvest (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Beebole if

• Fits if you are a team of up to 5 that wants free project time tracking
• Works for a services team that bills clients by project

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you grow past 5 users, as the free plan stops there
• Pricey if you want budgets, costs or expenses, which sit on Advanced at €18 a user
• Watch out: the page shows euro prices only, and annual saves 10%
• Watch out: moving back to free ends a paid plan with no refund for the rest of the period

Pick Harvest if

• Fits if you run an agency or consultancy and bill clients for tracked hours
• Works for solo freelancers with one or two active projects, who can stay on the free plan

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you're staying free with more than 2 projects or a second person
• Pricey if you need timesheet approvals, profitability reports or SAML SSO, which sit on Enterprise at $14 a seat
• Skip it if you want scheduling included, since Harvest Forecast is billed separately at $5 a person
• Watch out: $9 a seat is a starting price, and extra invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed on use
• Not for you if you want automatic tracking or a Linux app, as neither is listed

Beebole

• The pricing page shows euro prices and no monthly-billing figure; the saving for annual billing is stated as 10%.
• Costs, expenses and budgets, and custom fields and roles, are Advanced features or paid add-ons on Essential.
• The free plan is capped at 5 users, and moving back to it ends a paid subscription with no refund for the remaining period.

Harvest

• The free plan is limited to 1 seat and 2 projects.
• Paid prices are shown as starting prices: the pricing page says additional invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed based on use.
• Timesheet approvals, profitability reporting and SAML-based SSO need the Enterprise plan.
• No Linux desktop app is listed, and scheduling needs the separately billed Harvest Forecast.
