Harvest Reviews 7

WARNING: The company was bought by Bending Spoons , a company known for its rogue and enshitification tactics!

We got an information email that stated a sudden price increase from 600 USD / year to $8'688.00 one month before renewal. Before we had a number of seat and could use unlimited projects, tasks, invoices and so on and now every thing is 15x more expensive and usage-based. And the pricing on their marketing page does not reflect that!

deceptive practices with the free trial, no notice of trial end.

I signed up for the free trial to evaluate Harvest for my consulting practice. When my first client paid a $2,000 invoice through the platform, Harvest deducted an $80 application fee on top of Stripe's $58 processing fee — a total of $138 in fees I never agreed to. There was no warning during onboarding, no disclosure when setting up Stripe, and nothing at checkout before my client paid. When I contacted support requesting a refund, they cited a subscription cancellation policy that had nothing to do with my situation, then escalated to billing who simply explained the fee structure without offering any resolution. Charging undisclosed fees to free trial users evaluating your product is not acceptable. The time tracking features are solid, but I cannot recommend a platform that operates this way.

Utterly disgusting. $10k bill out of nowhere, refusing to refund.

They will not refund you for the subscription even if you only used it in the 30 day trial . In the past I have never had a problem getting a refund from a company if I miss cancelling after the trial period by a few days- not harvest.

Getharvest is garbage. They do not respond to emails for over 2 weeks. Very bad experience. We spent a lot of time trying to do API integration and they cannot respond to simple emails. And overall their offering is missing a lot of features.

Harvest is an exceptional project management, time-sheet and invoicing tool! We've been using it for years, and absolutely love it. Great back-end accounting integrations, too.
