Harvest Pricing Explained: Plans, Seat Costs and Alternatives

Harvest pricing explained: what each plan includes, how per-seat costs add up for a growing team, what Forecast adds, and when switching makes sense.

Time Tracking

Harvest pricing is per seat. Paid plans start at $9 per seat per month on annual billing, with a limited free tier for solo freelancers.

Teams pay for every person who tracks time. Forecast resource planning is a separate product with its own per-person fee. Model headcount a year out before you renew.

Quick Answer

On Harvest’s public pricing page (checked 1 October 2026), Free is $0 for one seat and two projects. Teams starts at $9 per seat per month billed annually, or $11 monthly. Enterprise starts at $14 annually or $17.50 monthly. Forecast adds $5 per person per month annually and is billed separately.

How much does Harvest cost?

Prices below come from Harvest’s pricing page, checked on 1 October 2026. Confirm live figures before you buy. Currency shown is USD as published by Harvest.

Plan Annual billing Monthly billing Who it suits
Free $0 forever $0 forever Solo freelancers with up to 2 projects
Teams $9 / seat / month ($108 / seat / year) $11 / seat / month Teams that track, report, and invoice
Enterprise $14 / seat / month ($168 / seat / year) $17.50 / seat / month Teams that need approvals, SSO, and custom reports
Enterprise Plus Custom Custom Orgs that need tailored setup and support

Paying yearly up front gives a 20% discount versus monthly. Harvest offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card.

Teams and Enterprise list a base rate per seat. Harvest also notes that extra invoices, projects, clients, and tasks can be billed as usage grows. Build that into your model if you run many clients.

If a renewal jumps, compare options after a Harvest price increase before you lock another year.

What does each Harvest plan include?

Feature lists below follow the same public pricing page (1 October 2026). Treat them as a snapshot, not a contract.

Free includes one seat, two projects, time tracking, invoicing, expense tracking, and Mac and iOS apps. It is meant for a single freelancer getting started.

Teams adds unlimited seats, team reporting for capacity, invoicing, and accounting or payment integrations such as Stripe, QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Deel. Core time tracking stays in the base rate.

Enterprise adds unlimited custom reports, profitability reporting, timesheet approvals, an activity log, SAML-based SSO, and required notes on entries.

Enterprise Plus is custom. It may include custom integrations, product customisation, a dedicated success manager, assisted migration, and white labelling.

Capability Free Teams Enterprise
Seats 1 Unlimited Unlimited
Projects 2 Unlimited (usage may apply) Unlimited (usage may apply)
Time tracking Yes Yes Yes
Invoicing Yes Yes Yes
Team reporting No Yes Yes
Timesheet approvals No No Yes
Profitability reporting No No Yes
SAML SSO No No Yes

How much does Harvest cost for a team of 5, 10 or 25?

Multiply seats by the per-seat rate. The table uses Teams at $9 per seat per month on annual billing. It excludes usage-based extras and Forecast.

Seats Teams cost / month (annual billing) Approx. yearly
5 $45 $540
10 $90 $1,080
25 $225 $2,700

On monthly Teams billing at $11 per seat, the same sizes cost $55, $110, and $275 per month.

Add Forecast if you need resource planning. At $5 per person per month billed annually, the combined total rises. Teams plus Forecast looks like this for the same headcount:

Seats Teams + Forecast / month (both annual)
5 $70
10 $140
25 $350

Per-seat pricing grows with every hire. Flat team pricing on Keito pricing can be easier to forecast when headcount rises.

Is Harvest Forecast included in the price?

No. Harvest Forecast is not included in Harvest time-tracking plans. It is a separate product with its own fee.

On Forecast’s pricing page (checked 1 October 2026), Forecast costs $5 per person per month billed annually, or $6.25 per person per month billed monthly. Harvest’s FAQ states you cannot pay for Harvest and Forecast on one combined bill today.

Seat rules matter. Anyone who schedules work and anyone whose time is scheduled needs a paid Forecast seat. Archived people and placeholders do not. A manager scheduling nine people still needs ten Forecast seats.

Forecast connects to Harvest for estimates versus actuals. Budget for both products if you rely on that link.

Can you invoice clients from Harvest?

Yes. Harvest includes client invoicing on Free, Teams, and Enterprise. You can generate, send, and track invoices from tracked time and expenses.

Paid plans add accounting and payment integrations so invoices and payments can sync with tools such as Stripe, QuickBooks Online, and Xero. Free still supports invoicing within its one-seat, two-project limits.

Invoicing quality is a common reason teams pick Harvest over a timer-only tool. If billing workflows are your main need, weigh that against per-seat cost as you grow.

When does switching from Harvest make sense?

Switching makes sense when seat math, usage extras, or Forecast fees outgrow the value of staying. It also makes sense when you want flat pricing, stronger project economics, or a cleaner import path.

Neutral triggers to review:

  1. Headcount growth — each new hire adds another seat on Harvest and another on Forecast if you use both.
  2. Renewal shock — compare total cost against Harvest alternative options before you renew.
  3. Planning needs — if Forecast is required for staffing, price it as a second line, not a free add-on.
  4. Migration cost — data move should be planned; see how to migrate from Harvest and the Harvest import guide.

Stay if Harvest’s invoicing and reporting still fit and the seat total is acceptable. Leave when the yearly model is clearer elsewhere or when you need different economics for people and AI work.

Key Takeaway

Harvest’s cost scales per seat — model team size a year out, and price Forecast separately.
