Small vs Harvest
Both are used to track time and invoice for it. This page compares what each actually charges a paying team — seat prices, usage fees and how a seat change is billed — with a source and a date next to every figure that isn’t Small’s own.
Seat prices
Small has two seat-priced tiers; the one comparable to Harvest’s entry paid plan is Pro. Harvest’s Enterprise plan costs more and adds governance features Teams doesn’t have, the same shape as Small’s own Pro/Business split, so Teams is the fairer match.
Entry paid plan, per seat, billed annually
Small
$7.00/seat/mo (Pro, $84.00/seat/yr)
Same plan, billed monthly with no annual commitment
Small
$9.00/seat/mo
Usage fees
Small charges by seat and by nothing else — not per invoice, per client, per project or per API call, on Solo or Pro, and that is a product commitment rather than a current gap. Harvest’s own pricing page states that usage is billed on top of the seat price; what it does not state, as of the date checked below, is the rate.
Fees beyond the seat price
Small
None, on any plan.
Harvest
Additional invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed based on what you use, on top of the seat price.
Harvest's pricing page, its pricing calculator and its help centre all describe this fee without publishing a per-unit rate — none states what an invoice, a project, a client or a task actually costs.

What that has meant for one real account
A customer of thirteen years, previously paying $211.20 a year, was quoted $2,547.60 a year at renewal — reported by Bloomberg following Harvest’s 2025 acquisition by Bending Spoons. This is one account’s reported renewal, not a projection of what any given team would pay.

Adding or removing a person mid-cycle
Proration
Small
Seat changes prorate daily in both directions. Adding someone mid-month charges the part of the month they're there; removing them credits the rest, immediately.
Harvest
Adding a seat is charged immediately, prorated for the rest of the billing period. A seat can't be removed mid-cycle — a removal is scheduled and takes effect at the next renewal.

Their pricing page can’t tell you what you’ll pay. Ours can.
