I built this after Harvest tried to move me from $12/month to ~$1,900/month.
I used Harvest for years. Then I received an email saying my account would be moved to an enterprise plan (~$1,900/month) — it didn't make sense for my use case, so I built ClockedHQ as a simple alternative.
I tried other tools, but they either added needless complexity or were still priced for large teams. I built ClockedHQ to solve the simple problem I had: reliable time tracking and billing without enterprise bloat.
This is for you if:
- • You’re a freelancer or solo developer
- • You don’t need enterprise-level features
- • You just want to track time and bill clients simply
- • You were using (or considering) Harvest but the pricing no longer makes sense
ClockedHQ is intentionally simple:
- • Core time tracking and billing — no enterprise bloat.
- • Designed around real workflows, not admin overhead.
- • Easy Harvest import tool to bring over your historical data quickly.
- • Simple pricing you can actually understand.
If you are moving from Harvest, you can connect your account and run our guided import tool in just a few steps.
No pressure to continue — just try it and see if it fits your workflow.
Why teams are leaving Harvest
Hidden costs via usage limits
Harvest charges $15–$1,000/month for overages on projects, tasks, clients, and invoices—penalties for growing your business.
Unpredictable pricing
The "Flex" billing model means unexpected overages when you scale the number of projects, clients, or invoices.
Outgrowing your plan
As you succeed and take on more work, Harvest's "Unlimited" plan may feel necessary (fixed at $1,900/month or $1,583/month annual).
