Harvest alternative after the pricing shock
Since Harvest's 2025 acquisition, multiple agencies have publicly reported renewal bills jumping far beyond their previous per-seat price, with new usage-based fees stacked on top. jatid publishes flat per-seat pricing with a 24-month price-lock — no usage fees, no surprise renewal.
No lock-in — cancel anytime, effective end of month
No setup fees, no hidden admin fees
Price-lock promise: your sign-up price is guaranteed for 24 months
What Harvest customers are reporting
Summarized from industry pricing coverage and public agency reports since the 2025 acquisition. We cite the documented pattern, not a single guaranteed number — your renewal may differ.
A documented pattern of large renewal increases
Industry coverage and agency reports describe renewal bills rising well beyond the previous per-seat price at some accounts — in the most extreme reported cases, by multiple orders of magnitude — following Harvest's 2025 acquisition.
Usage-based fees stacked on the seat price
Harvest's own pricing page now states that additional invoices, projects, clients, and tasks are billed on top of the per-seat rate — a layer that was not part of the original pricing model.
One-way accounting sync
Harvest's Xero/QuickBooks integration only pushes invoice line items out — time and expense data cannot sync back, so reconciliation stays partly manual, per Harvest's own help documentation.
Resource planning sold as a second product
Capacity/resource planning is not bundled — it is a separate paid product ("Harvest Forecast"), a point reviewers say should be included.
To be fair to Harvest: its invoicing UX is genuinely clean, it has 70+ integrations, and reviewers consistently praise how easily tracked time turns into a sent invoice with built-in Stripe/PayPal payment collection. That polish is real.

When Harvest is still the better fit
If you are a non-Danish agency comfortable with USD billing, not affected by the reported renewal-price pattern, and you rely heavily on Harvest's 70+ integrations or its native Jira/Asana time-tracking widgets — Harvest's polish in that specific workflow is real and switching has a real cost. jatid's edge is Danish/EU pricing predictability and e-conomic-native invoicing, not matching every one of Harvest's 70+ integrations on day one.
