What's the main difference?

Toggl

Flexible time tracking options: manual, timer-based, and automatic.

Access insightful reports, build custom analytics dashboards, and export invoices.

Ideal for teams in need of a flexible time tracking tool for easy adoption and optimal productivity.

The free plan includes time tracking tools, reports, and analytics and is built for freelancers and small teams. Paid plans offer advanced team management features like time audits, team reminders, and more.

Harvest

Simple timer.

Track expenses, make invoices, and bill clients in a streamlined workflow.

Ideal for businesses without complex time tracking needs.

The free plan is limited to one user but unlocks all features.

Since the Bending Spoons acquisition, recent user reports have indicated renewal pricing has increased significantly for many teams - with some reporting bills 3× to 4× higher, applied automatically with no prior notice, making it difficult to budget for or justify the cost.

Flexible Time Tracking

Every team member chooses how they want to track time

Harvest

Harvest doesn’t support automatic time tracking, Pomodoro timers, and focus time. Your team will need constant reminders to track time

Toggl

Toggl supports flexible time tracking options that adapt to your team's workflow: automated time tracking, timer, and manually adding time entries.

Track time on the web app, desktop, or mobile devices and keep time entries in sync across devices on List and Calendar views.

Toggl makes sure you capture every billable minute by making time tracking a seamless experience for your team.

Custom reporting and time analytics

Get productivity and profitability insights from your team’s time logs

Harvest

Harvest offers built-in project and team reports with a few filtering options. While these are great for basic reporting, you don’t get deeper insights.

Toggl

Toggl has three in-depth reporting tools:

  • Reports: Generate project and team timesheet reports to see how your team spends their billable and non-billable hours.
  • Insights: Make better business decisions by spotting trends. Identify bottlenecks by comparing estimated vs. actual efforts. Track project profitability with income vs. expense reports.
  • Analytics: Build custom charts and time reporting dashboards to analyze and present insights into your team’s tracked hours.

Integrated time tracking

Harvest

Harvest: Solid integration capabilities, including for project management, invoicing, and payroll

Learning to use Toggl is a breeze, because it's highly intuitive and simple. It ushers you along quickly so that you get back to work right away and start tracking your time immediately. The free plan is generous and could be more than adequate for solo workers or even small groups of up to five people with light needs.

It's not one of those apps where you need to spend half a day figuring out how to actually use it: sessions can be started as they happen or added later, and once the app has got a feel for your schedule and how you work, it'll even make suggestions about what you want to track next.
