Monotime vs Harvest

Harvest is made for agencies: seats, approvals, usage fees on top of the price. Working alone, you need something simpler — what your hours earned, every client’s currency added up in yours, and who’s late paying. That’s Monotime, in one plan.

	Harvest	Monotime
price	Free for 1 seat and 2 projects. Then from $9 a seat a month paid yearly ($11 monthly), plus usage fees.	From €10 a month, after 14 days free. One plan, no usage fees.
logging time	A timer; apps for Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, and browser extensions. Google or Outlook events pulled into your day.	A timer or a line, in the browser on any device. Google Calendar events turn into entries for you to confirm.
rates	Per project, person or task — not per client.	Per project, per client, or your default.
invoicing	Built in: invoices from your time, automatic reminders when they’re late, payment by card or PayPal. On the free plan, sending one needs Stripe connected.	Not built in. Monotime shows what to bill each client — the lines and the total to copy; the invoice stays in your own tool.
who’s paid	Each invoice’s status — draft, sent, late, paid — and a payment recorded when a client pays online.	Not paid, invoiced, paid — and how many days late, counted from each client’s payment terms.
fixed prices	Fixed-fee projects with budgets and milestones, and what the hours would have billed hourly.	The rate your hours really earn, beside the one you planned.
other currencies	A currency per client, but no conversion: totals stay apart, one per currency.	A currency per client or project, and totals in yours — at the ECB rate on the entry’s date.
expenses	Tracked, with receipts.	Not tracked.
teams	What it’s built for: capacity and cost rates, with approvals and profitability on Enterprise.	One person, no team.

What a fixed price really pays.

The rate your hours earn on a fixed price, beside the one you planned — while the work is still going, not after the last invoice.
