The Harvest alternative for your business
Harvest now charges per seat and adds usage fees on invoices, projects and clients. Billable is free for 1 active project, then $9 a month flat, with nothing metered.
Pricing change
Did your Harvest renewal just go up?
What changed
In 2026 Harvest moved to per-seat plans plus usage-based fees on invoices, projects, clients and tasks above your plan's allowance.
What Billable charges
Free for 1 active project. Then $9 a month or $90 a year, with unlimited projects, clients and invoices. No per-user fees, no usage fees.
What you keep
Time tracking, invoices and quotes, plus the things Harvest doesn't do: contractor payouts, retainer projects, and a record of what each foreign-currency payment cost you to receive.

The difference
Harvest is a well-loved time tracker that grew up around teams: per-person timesheets, capacity reporting and a per-seat price that climbs as you add people. It's a lot of tool, and a lot of it is aimed at keeping a group of people in sync.
Billable is built around the money side of your business. It tracks your time, but it's just as much about quotes, invoices, contractor payouts and a plain-English money dashboard — the whole money side of your business — free for up to 1 active project, then flat Pro or Teams plans that never change as you grow.

Why businesses pick Billable
Built for your business.
One flat price, not per seat
Harvest bills for every person you add. Billable starts free and stays flat: Pro for you, or Teams for up to 10 people at one price, the same whether it's a quiet month or your best ever.
The whole money side, not just hours
Quotes, invoices, contractor payouts and a finance dashboard live together, so tracked time flows into a paid invoice without hopping between tools.
Bill the world, report at home
Invoice clients in their currency and see everything converted to your home currency — handy for work that crosses borders.
Multi-currency
Bill in their currency. See what lands in yours.
Invoice clients in their currency and Billable converts everything to your home currency at rates refreshed daily. When a payment arrives, record what actually landed and Billable shows what the transfer fee and the exchange-rate margin took on the way. Harvest invoices in multiple currencies but doesn't show what you actually receive.
How multi-currency worksBeing fair
When Harvest might suit you better.
No tool is right for everyone. Harvest is the better pick if:
- You have a team and need per-person timesheets, capacity planning and approval workflows.
- You want clients to pay a card straight from the invoice.
- You depend on Harvest's deep integrations with tools like Asana, Trello or QuickBooks.
