TimeAJob vs Harvest
Last updated: September 2026. Pricing and features checked directly against getharvest.com.
The pricing difference in one sentence
Harvest's own pricing page states that on both paid tiers, "additional invoices, projects, clients, and tasks are billed based on what you use" — on top of the per-seat price. TimeAJob has no usage-based fees on any tier, ever. The price you see is the whole bill, every month.
| Plan | Harvest | TimeAJob |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 — 1 seat, 2 projects | $0 — 1 seat, 2 projects |
| Entry paid tier | $9/seat/month + usage-based fees on extra invoices, projects, clients, tasks | $15/month flat — unlimited clients, projects, invoices, no usage fees |
| Top tier (self-serve) | $14/seat/month + the same usage-based fees; profitability reporting and audit trail gated here | $119/month flat, up to 15 seats — profitability reporting and audit trail included from the entry tier up |
| Team billing shape | Multiplies per seat — the bill grows every time you add a person | Flat bracket by team size (1 / 3 / 6 / 15 seats); extra seats beyond a bracket are $10/month flat, not a per-seat multiplier |

Where Harvest is genuinely ahead
Harvest has native mobile and desktop apps and a longer list of third-party integrations. If you need a native app today or a specific integration TimeAJob doesn't have yet, Harvest may be the better fit right now.
Who TimeAJob is for
Freelancers and small agencies who want to know their exact bill before the month starts — no usage-based line items, no per-seat multiplication as the team grows within a bracket.
