📎 The price leader: a genuinely usable free tier for teams of up to five and the lowest paid entry at $3.99 per seat per month annual. The free tier is now explicitly capped at 5 users — earlier material claiming unlimited free users is out of date. Reporting depth and polish trail Toggl.

Pros

  • Free for up to 5 users with unlimited tracking, timesheets, auto tracker and desktop and mobile apps
  • Lowest paid entry in the class at $3.99 per seat per month annual, with every active or invited user counted as a seat
  • Kiosk mode for shared devices sells limited seats from $0.79 per seat per month annual, far below full seats

Cons

  • The free tier's 5-user cap is a real limit, and older material claiming unlimited free users no longer reflects the page
  • Reporting and polish trail Toggl, and the interface rewards people who are comfortable with dense tooling
  • The combined CAKE.com bundle at $27.97 per seat per month bundles tools most buyers do not want

Harvest · 4.2/5

Free plan available · $9/seat/mo (Teams, annual)

Seat-based with unlimited users on the free plan's limits replaced by seat counts on paid plans. Teams covers unlimited seats' worth of tracking and invoicing features; Enterprise adds unapproved time tracking rules, expense and budget forecasting, and custom provisioning. Payments and invoices run inside Harvest, so a share of billing volume flows through the platform.

Annual billing saves 20%: Teams $108/seat/yr, Enterprise $168/seat/yr

Invoicing and payments · 1 seat free · Timesheets · Budget forecasting

Harvest is the invoicing-shaped tracker: a free plan with 1 seat and 2 projects, Teams at $9 per seat per month annual, Enterprise at $14, and payments processed through the product itself.

📎 The most reliable of the five at turning tracked hours into invoices and payments, with the strongest third-party review base. Per-seat pricing is steepest here: the free plan gives exactly one seat and two projects, and Enterprise at $14 annual is the top of the class.

Pros

  • Timesheets become invoices and payments inside one product, with a 30-day trial on every paid tier and no card required
  • Teams at $9 per seat per month annual is competitive for a tool that includes client-facing billing rather than just tracking
  • Enterprise adds budget forecasting, expense capture and custom provisioning for organizations that plan capacity

Cons

  • The free plan is one seat and two projects — the most restrictive free tier for teams in this comparison
  • Seat pricing at the Enterprise tier, $14 annual or $17.50 monthly, is the highest non-custom price here
  • Payment processing means part of your billing volume runs through the platform, not just your subscription
