Billable vs Harvest
Both track your time and turn it into invoices. The difference is who they're built for — and how they charge you for it.
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 for a business of one. 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 a solo business — free for up to 2 active projects, then one flat plan that never changes as you grow.

Why solo businesses pick Billable
Built for a business of one.
One flat price, not per seat
Harvest bills for every person you add. Billable starts free and stays flat — built for you alone, and the price is 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 solo work that crosses borders.
Being 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 lean on expense tracking or want clients to pay a card straight from the invoice.
- You depend on Harvest's deep integrations with tools like Asana, Trello or QuickBooks.
