The Problem with Harvest for Modern Teams
Harvest has been around for a long time, and unfortunately, its interface reflects that. It forces employees into a slow, click-heavy workflow where logging a single time entry requires navigating through multiple dropdowns and screens. Because Harvest tries to be an all-in-one invoicing and time tracking suite, the actual daily experience for your employees suffers. This friction guarantees that your team will procrastinate doing their timesheets.
Velotime: The $5/Seat High-Velocity Harvest Alternative
If you are looking for a Harvest alternative, Velotime is the answer. We stripped away the legacy friction to build the fastest time-capture matrix on the market. With Velotime, your team can navigate their entire timesheet using just their keyboard. It’s so frictionless that teams actually submit their hours without managers needing to chase them down on Friday afternoons.
Pricing: Velotime vs Harvest
Harvest charges a premium $12 per user per month, which quickly becomes a massive expense as your agency grows. Velotime charges a flat $5 per seat per month. Why pay double for an interface from 2014 when you can get a modern, frictionless experience for less than half the price?
