Where Harvest is the better choice

Harvest has spent over a decade perfecting time tracking for agencies and professional service teams^[6]. Its primary advantage is deep operational management: project managers can review team capacity, set budget alerts, and approve or reject weekly timesheets before billing^[2].

Its integration ecosystem is also significantly broader. If your business depends on syncing invoice lines to QuickBooks Online or Xero automatically, or triggering timer reminders inside Slack and project tasks in Asana, Harvest connects seamlessly^[5].

Harvest also supports cross-platform teams working across macOS, iOS, Android, and Windows with native lightweight apps^[4].

Where Invollo is the better choice

Predictable, transparent costs. Harvest charges per user seat and applies usage fees as your account activity grows^[1]. Invollo keeps pricing simple: Free, Pro and Business plans billed monthly (see pricing), with 3 seats included on Business.

Integrated quotes with e-signatures. While Harvest provides Estimates that clients can accept or decline online (no e-signature), Invollo includes digital quotations with e-signatures designed to meet ESIGN/eIDAS simple-signature requirements on every plan. Clients accept online with a typed full name and drawn signature, verified by a SHA-256 cryptographic proof, and you convert approved quotes to invoices with one click.

Visual proof of work for remote clients. When overseas clients pay you by the hour, timesheet numbers alone may not give them confidence. Invollo’s Windows desktop tracker takes periodic screenshots that you and your client can inspect in the client portal if you allow it.

0% payment cut. Client payments flow directly into your own connected Stripe or PayPal account. Invollo takes 0% cut of your client payments.

What Invollo doesn’t do

No native mobile apps (iOS/Android) or macOS desktop tracker; the desktop tracker is Windows only.
