ClientTrack vs Harvest
ClientTrack or Harvest?
Harvest is built around the timer: track hours, then invoice off the hours you tracked. ClientTrack is built around the project and the client relationship — files, messages, and invoices in one place, with a portal the client actually logs into.
$10/mo, flat
Projects, invoicing, and a client portal. Nothing else.
$9/seat/mo (Teams, billed annually)
Yes — 1 seat, 2 projects — a time-tracking and invoicing tool.

| File sharing with clients | Yes, on the project | Not a core feature |
| Time tracking | No | Yes — the core feature |
| Invoicing (Stripe + bank transfer) | Yes, sequential numbers | Yes, generated from tracked time |
Where ClientTrack wins
A client portal, not just a payment link
Harvest's client-facing surface is an invoice or payment link. ClientTrack gives each client an actual portal — their projects, files, and invoice history, signed in with a magic link.
Files live with the project
ClientTrack keeps files, messages, and invoices on one project record. Harvest is scoped to time and invoicing, not file sharing.
Flat pricing, not per seat
ClientTrack is one flat price regardless of team size. Harvest bills per seat, and adds usage fees above your plan's project/client/invoice allowances.
Where Harvest wins
If you bill hourly, Harvest is built for exactly that
Timers, timesheets, and invoices generated straight from tracked hours — ClientTrack has none of that. If most of your billing is hourly, Harvest's core loop is a better fit.

Questions
Does ClientTrack track time like Harvest? +
No. ClientTrack doesn't have a timer, timesheets, or hourly billing — it's built for project- and milestone-based invoicing.
Does Harvest have a client portal? +
Not in the way ClientTrack does. Harvest's client-facing surface is an invoice or payment link, not a branded portal the client signs into to see their own projects and files.
Can I use ClientTrack and Harvest together? +
Some freelancers do — track hours in Harvest, then invoice and manage the client relationship in ClientTrack. There's no built-in integration between them today.
