Everhour vs Harvest

Everhour

• Teams that manage work in Asana, Jira, Linear, Trello or ClickUp
• Agencies that watch project budgets and bill clients from tracked time
• Teams of up to 5 that only need basic time tracking

Harvest

• Agencies and consultancies that bill clients for tracked hours
• Solo freelancers with up to 2 active projects, on the free plan
• Teams that sync invoices and payments to QuickBooks Online or Xero

Everhour

• The free plan covers up to 5 seats with limited features and no integrations.
• The Team plan bills a minimum of 5 seats, so a team of 2 or 3 still pays for 5.
• The desktop app is for macOS only; the vendor lists Windows as coming soon.
• Annual payment is a commitment: unused months are not refunded on cancellation.

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.

Everhour

Tracking inside other tools

Native integrations and the browser extension embed timer controls in tools such as Asana, Jira, Linear and Trello, so time is logged against existing tasks. Paid plan only.

Timer, timesheets and clock-in

Start and stop a timer or log hours afterwards in day and week views. Clock-in and clock-out records working hours and breaks.

Budgets and alerts

Set fixed-fee or recurring budgets on projects and receive email alerts when spending reaches the thresholds you choose.

Reports and dashboards

Customizable reports with filters and data export can be scheduled for delivery by email, and timesheets can be locked or sent for approval.

Invoicing and expenses

Invoices are created from tracked time and expenses using customizable templates, with payments recorded against them. Expenses can carry receipt attachments.

Resource planning and time off

An interactive schedule shows who is assigned to what and who has availability, compares estimates with actual time, and tracks vacations and other leave.

Harvest

Timers and timesheets

One-click timers, daily and weekly timesheets and calendar imports in the browser, desktop and mobile apps, with automated reminders to submit time.

Invoicing and online payments

Invoices are generated from the tracked time and expenses already in the account, and clients can pay them through the PayPal and Stripe integrations.

Expense tracking

Receipts and reimbursable costs are logged alongside time, so they can be added to the same client invoice.

Budgets and reports

Project budgets update as time is logged. Team capacity and utilization reports start on Teams, and profitability reporting is limited to Enterprise.

Approvals and audit trail

Enterprise adds timesheet approval before hours are billed, an activity log of every time entry and edit, and the option to require notes on entries.
