As of October 2026, Harvest has a Free plan (one seat, two projects) and two paid plans priced per seat: Teams from $11 per seat a month billed monthly or $9 billed annually, and Enterprise from $17.50 monthly or $14 annually. Enterprise Plus is custom priced. Paying yearly saves 20%, and both paid plans come with a 30-day free trial.
Harvest is a time tracking and invoicing tool popular with agencies, consultants and freelancers. Its pricing looks simple, but there's a detail on the pricing page worth reading before you budget: the paid plans have a base rate for core features, with some usage billed on top as your team grows.

All prices are in US dollars, as Harvest's page states. The page describes each paid plan as 'starting from', which matters for the next section.
What each plan includes
Free
Built for individual freelancers: one seat, two projects, time tracking, invoicing, expense tracking and the Mac and iOS apps. Harvest notes that some features may still require fees. If you need more projects or people, you can upgrade and your data carries over.
Teams
Everything in Free, plus unlimited seats, team reporting to track capacity, invoicing, and accounting and payment integrations. Harvest names Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Xero and Deel among the integrations.
Enterprise
Everything in Teams, plus unlimited custom reports, profitability reporting by client, project, task and team, timesheet approvals, an activity log of every time entry change, SAML-based single sign-on, and the option to require notes on time entries.
Enterprise Plus
Custom pricing for organizations that want custom integrations, product customization, a dedicated customer success manager, assisted data migration, white labelling and custom onboarding.
The usage fees: why 'starting from' matters
Here's the sourced insight that most Harvest pricing summaries leave out. Under both Teams and Enterprise, Harvest says your base rate includes core features, and as your team grows, additional invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed based on what you use. In other words, the per-seat price is the floor. A small team with a handful of clients will pay close to the headline rate; a busy agency with many projects should check how usage is billed in its own account before committing to a year.
Monthly vs annual billing
Harvest applies a 20% discount automatically when you pay for the year up front. That's where the gap between $11 and $9 on Teams, and $17.50 and $14 on Enterprise, comes from. A few billing rules from the FAQ are worth knowing:
- You can pay by credit card monthly or yearly.
- You can add seats at any time and you're charged a prorated amount for the rest of the billing cycle.
- You can't remove seats during your current billing cycle, so annual plans suit teams whose size is stable.
- Harvest itself says that if your seat needs don't change month to month, yearly is probably the best option.
The free trial
The paid plans come with a 30-day free trial and no credit card. During the trial you can try many premium features, such as profitability reporting and timesheet approvals. If you haven't upgraded at the end of 30 days, the trial account is deactivated, but Harvest says it won't delete your data. If your account meets the free plan's requirements, you can switch to Free instead.

Is Harvest worth it?
For a freelancer with one or two clients, the Free plan is a usable starting point. The jump to Teams is where Harvest earns its keep: shared timesheets, capacity reporting and invoicing from tracked time in one place. Enterprise mostly adds control, approvals, audit logs and SSO, which matter more as the team grows.

Who Harvest suits
Harvest is strongest for businesses that bill by the hour or by project: agencies, consultancies, architects, law firms and developers. Its industry pages list exactly those kinds of teams. It's less suited to shift-based businesses that need rosters and clock-in kiosks, where a scheduling tool fits better. If your main question each month is 'what can we invoice and which projects made a profit?', Harvest's Teams and Enterprise plans are built around that question. The page also offers a personal consultation for teams with 50 or more seats, which is worth booking if you're moving a large team across.
How to choose a plan
- Count seats: everyone who tracks time needs one.
- Decide whether you need approvals, audit logs or SSO. If yes, it's Enterprise.
- Estimate your projects, clients and invoices, and check how usage is billed in your account.
- Run the 30-day trial with your real projects, not sample data.
- Go annual only once your seat count is stable, since seats can't be removed mid-cycle.
The verdict
Harvest's pricing is fair for what it does, and the Free plan is a credible start for solo work. Treat the per-seat figures as the minimum rather than the final bill, because usage is billed on top as you grow. If your team size is steady, the 20% annual discount is worth taking.
