Migrate from Harvest in 30–45 minutes
Step 1: Export your Harvest time reports
Go to Reports > Detailed Report in Harvest, set the date range to All Time, and export as CSV. The file includes date, client, project, task, notes, hours, billable status, and hourly rate. Keep it as your archive.
Step 2: Set up clients, projects, and billing rates in Teetrack
Recreate your client list, project names, currencies, and hourly rates in Teetrack. Match the structure you had in Harvest so your billable totals stay consistent. Set per-project rate defaults and override individual entries where needed.
Step 3: Connect your calendar
If you use Google Calendar or Outlook, connect it in Teetrack. Past events import as draft entries you review before they count. For older history, the Harvest CSV is your reference.
Step 4: Run parallel for one billing cycle
Track time in Teetrack alongside Harvest for one billing period. Compare totals at the end of the month. Once they match, export the data and feed it into your existing billing tool — lexoffice, sevDesk, Stripe Invoicing, QuickBooks, or whatever you already use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Teetrack cheaper than Harvest?
Teetrack Business is €4 per month for a single user. Harvest Teams starts at $9/seat/month (annual), so two seats cost $18–$22 per month and a five-person team $45–$55 per month. For a solo freelancer Teetrack is the cheaper option; teams needing multiple seats and built-in invoicing may prefer Harvest.
Does Teetrack have a built-in billing feature like Harvest?
No — billing documents are not produced here, by design. The workflow is: track time, mark entries billable, export clean data, then use your existing billing tool. Harvest has a full invoice and payment suite including Stripe/PayPal collection, white-label invoices, and UBL e-invoicing. If you need that workflow inside your time tracker, Harvest is the better fit.
When is Harvest the better choice?
Harvest is stronger when you need built-in payment collection via Stripe or PayPal, automatic accounting sync with QuickBooks or Xero, expense tracking with receipt photos, white-label invoices, or UBL e-invoicing. The May 2026 "new Harvest" rollout added all of these plus a calendar view and utilization rates.
What does the workflow look like without built-in invoicing?
Track time, mark entries billable or non-billable, set per-track rates and currencies, then export as CSV or pull via API/MCP. Feed that data into whichever billing tool you already use. No invoice templates, no payment processing — just clean records.
What about Harvest's free plan?
Harvest's free tier is limited to one seat and two projects, which makes it impractical for most freelancers. Teetrack's free tier covers five projects and one calendar connection with 90-day history. The Business plan at €4 per month covers your entire workflow for a single user.
