Since the Bending Spoons acquisition, Harvest's 2026 renewals are arriving at five to fifteen times last year's bill, solo and small plans are being moved onto Team and Enterprise tiers, and usage fees now sit on top of seats. Quanta is a flat $40 a month for up to 100 people, or $10 for one, and it imports your Harvest history in one pass.
14-day trial, no card. Import and undo as many times as you like.
Harvest charges per seat, and the list price is the floor, not what renewals are coming in at. Quanta is a flat $40/mo for your whole team.

Figures as posted publicly by Harvest customers, September 2026.
Export all time from Harvest as one CSV and upload it. Nothing is written until you confirm the review step.
Created from the rows in your export. No separate files to prepare.
Set each project's billing type, fee and rates on one screen. Merge the task names Harvest repeated on every project into shared tasks.
Set "deactivate if idle for" a number of days and every project older than that stays out of your pickers but keeps its hours on reports and invoices.
If a run lands wrong, one click takes the whole thing back out. Try it as many times as you need.
A ten-year account with 50,000 entries across 4,000 projects parses in about twenty seconds and imports in about seven minutes. The import runs on the server, so you can close the tab.
Harvest's export has no budget column, so project and task budgets are set in Quanta afterwards.
Timer, weekly grid, clients and projects, invoice from unbilled hours. Teams moving over tell us it is the nearest thing to the Harvest they liked, without a suite of other tools bolted on.
One CSV brings clients, projects, tasks, team and every hour across. A review step shows what will be created before anything is written, and undo takes a run back out.
Invoices and payments push into Xero or QuickBooks Online. Xero can take them as drafts for approval on that side. Included on every plan, not a higher tier.
Fixed-fee and hourly budgets by project, task or person, with alerts at the percentage you choose. Retainers that bill themselves. Weekly timesheets a manager signs off.
