Harvest
Time tracking that turns logged hours into client invoices
Which one is for you
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
Pick Replicon if
- Fits if you are a project or government-contract firm that needs compliance rules
- Makes sense if you already use other Deltek products
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price or a trial before talking to sales, as none are published
- Not for you if you are a freelancer or tiny team, as it is aimed at project firms
- Watch out: the page does not say which mobile operating systems are supported
- Watch out: it is one module of the wider Deltek platform, so scope can grow beyond time
How we grade them
| 2.6GPAHarvestGood | 2.0GPARepliconFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CTeams is $9 a seat a month billed annually, $11 monthly, which is the dear end of this category rather than the middle. And it's a starting price: the pricing page says extra invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed on use, so the bill can climb. | CNo price is published, so it is graded in the middle where nothing contradicts the category. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree forever, with time tracking, invoicing, expenses and all the apps in it. The cap is the problem. One seat and 2 projects, so a freelancer with three clients is already out. Paid plans get a 30-day trial with no card. | FNo free plan and no free trial; the page offers a demo request only. |
| Features | CTimers, daily and weekly timesheets, expenses with receipts and invoices built from what you logged, with budgets updating as time goes in. The gaps are real, though: nothing tracks automatically, scheduling is a separate product in Harvest Forecast at $5 a person, and approvals wait on Enterprise. | BAutomatic capture, labour-law compliance, expenses, leave and reporting; the listing names no gap in the core job. |
| Ease of use | B4.5 from about 2,700 App Store ratings. Timers are one click, and automated reminders nudge people to hand their timesheets in. | CNo store rating on record. A sales-led rollout with rules and projects to configure. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone, Android and a browser extension. Asana, Jira, Slack, QuickBooks Online and Xero connect, Stripe and PayPal take the payments, and there's an API. No Linux desktop app is listed. | BWeb with 7 integrations on record; the page does not say which phone systems are supported. |
| Best for | turning tracked hours into client invoices | timesheets for project firms and government contractors |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
