Used harvest for 13 years and it was seemless and affordable for a small business of around 10 - 20 staff. With one month warning they have jacked up our subscription by 7 x the price with no added benefit and no choice. I used to recommend this to everyone in my industry, and now I am desperately trying to move away and warn people not to go near it.

I'm disappointed to leave Harvest after 9 years as a customer. My plan went from US$24 a month to being automatically billed US$124.30 for the new monthly plan. That's a huge jump for a small business. I've had to move to a more cost-effective solution, which has been extremely inconvenient. It's a shame, as the product itself works well. Small businesses should check pricing carefully before signing up. Buyer beware

We've used for 9 years, never perfect but did the basics for the price. Now price increases are outrageous and will fluctuate based on number of projects, tasks and invoice history - even though draft invoices pushed through to Xero. Would love to hear what alternatives are people finding? Needing time and cost project management against multiple PO's - since Xero cannot do it within their system.

Prices Hiked drastically.

I've been a Harvest user for over 10 years, I loved the integration with Xero and the project management worked really well fo me. But then out of the blue i get an email telling me that my monthly billing its increasing from $12USD to $116 per month and that was with their 85% discount so next year the renewal will be around $1500USD per month... this is for 1 user. Rumour has it they've been sold so whoever bought it must be running it to the ground.

WAY too many steps for freelancers and yet as a project manager I feel like it would also fall short. Didn't even get far enough to test the xero integration, just adding data on clients was so tedious not to mention the hours tracking is not TIME based, like 9am to 10am, its 1h. Just don't like that.
