Key Takeaways

Written by the SkillEngine team

Harvest is one of the simplest ways to go from tracked time to a paid invoice. It is excellent for time-based billing, but it is not full accounting software.

Our Verdict

Pick Harvest if your team bills for hours on client projects. Product businesses or companies that need full accounting will need additional tools.
