Harvest vs Track and Invoice
Harvest is a well-regarded time tracking and invoicing tool, and a lot of agencies and consulting firms use it. But the free plan is pretty restricted, one user, one client, two projects, which means most people end up on the paid plan at $11 per seat per month. For a small team, that adds up quickly. Track and Invoice has no seat-based pricing: the free Starter plan includes unlimited clients, projects, and users, so your monthly cost doesn't change as your team or client list grows.

Who should choose Track and Invoice
Freelancers and small service businesses who need clean time tracking, solid invoicing, and predictable costs as the business grows. Whether you bill for time, sell goods alongside your services, or both, Track and Invoice doesn't charge more when you add a client or bring on another team member. There are no subscription fees regardless of how many people are using it or projects you have.
Who should stick with Harvest
Harvest is a good fit for larger teams that need capacity planning and scheduling alongside time tracking, or for businesses already integrated with tools like Asana, Jira, or Basecamp. If you're managing many people across many projects simultaneously and need team utilization reporting, Harvest was designed for that kind of operation.
Why Track and Invoice is different
The per-seat model is the main thing to think about with Harvest. Four people on a team costs around $44/month. Ten people is $110/month. That math is fine for a larger agency with a healthy revenue base, but for a small team or a business just getting started, it's a meaningful overhead before you've sent your first invoice. Track and Invoice's Starter plan is subscription free regardless of how many people are using it.
Built for the way you work
Running a small business means you feel every dollar, every subscription, every "upgrade to unlock this" moment, every tool that costs more than it should for what it actually does. We felt all of it. Before building Track and Invoice, we were evaluating the same software you're looking at right now, and kept running into the same problem: either the price was hard to justify, or the product was too generic to actually fit the way we worked.
So we built our own. Not to disrupt anything, just to have something functional, honest, and priced like it was made for people who watch what they spend. It turned out other small business owners, freelancers, and solopreneurs were looking for the same thing, so we made it available to them too.
Track and Invoice is straightforward by design. It does time tracking, expense tracking, and invoicing well, without burying those features behind a learning curve or a paywall. If that's what you need, we think you'll feel right at home.
