The problem with Harvest

Every forgotten timer is lost revenue

Harvest is a solid tool for invoicing and expense tracking. But it relies entirely on manual timers and timesheets. Your team has to remember to press start for every task, stop when they switch, and tag the right project. Every time they forget, you lose billable hours.

Studies show teams using manual time trackers under-report 10-30% of their actual work time. For a 10-person agency billing $150/hour, that is $150,000-$450,000 in lost revenue per year. Not from bad work. From forgotten timers.

Rize eliminates this entirely. It runs in the background and captures every work session automatically. No discipline required. No behavior change. Just install it and let AI handle the rest.

How to switch

Migrate in four steps

01

Install Rize

Download on Mac or Windows. Takes under 2 minutes. No IT setup, no project configuration, no user training.

02

Run both tools for a week

Keep Harvest active as a safety net. Rize runs silently in the background. Compare what each tool captures at the end of the week.

03

See what you were missing

Rize captures every work session automatically — including the short tasks, context switches, and quick calls that Harvest timers always miss.

04

Cancel Harvest when ready

Once you trust the data, drop the manual timers. Your team gets time back from timesheet compliance. Your invoices get more accurate.

What changes when you switch

What you gain

  • Automatic time capture that runs in the background with zero input
  • 10-30% more billable hours recovered from forgotten timers
  • AI categorization that learns your clients and projects automatically
  • Focus analytics showing deep work vs meetings vs context switching
  • Real-time profitability dashboards per client and project
  • Zero daily overhead for your team — no timesheets, no reminders

What Harvest has that Rize does not

  • Built-in invoicing — Rize integrates with QuickBooks and FreshBooks via Zapier instead
  • Expense tracking — use your existing accounting tool for this
  • Mobile app — Rize is desktop-focused (Mac + Windows) with a web dashboard

Most teams switching from Harvest keep their invoicing tool and replace only the time tracking layer.

Migration Questions

Install Rize on your Mac or Windows computer and it starts tracking immediately. There is no data import or migration needed. Rize learns your work patterns within a few days and auto-categorizes time by client and project. Most teams are fully transitioned within one week while keeping Harvest active as a safety net.

No. Rize starts fresh and captures everything going forward. Your historical Harvest data stays in Harvest for reference. There is no CSV import, no API sync, and no setup required. Install the desktop app and Rize handles the rest.

Yes. Many teams run both tools for 1-2 weeks during the transition. Rize runs silently in the background and does not interfere with Harvest timers. Once you see that Rize captures everything Harvest misses, you can cancel your Harvest subscription.

Rize tracks time automatically in the background using AI. Harvest requires manual start/stop timers. Rize also provides focus analytics (deep work vs shallow work), AI-powered project categorization, and real-time profitability dashboards. Harvest has built-in invoicing and expense tracking that Rize does not offer.

Adoption is near-instant because there is nothing to adopt. Rize runs in the background with zero daily input from your team. No timers to start, no timesheets to fill, no training sessions needed. The most common feedback from teams switching from Harvest is that they forgot Rize was even running.

Harvest charges $10.80 per seat per month (Pro plan). Rize starts at $14.99/month for individuals or $19.99/seat/month for teams. The price difference is offset by recovered billable hours — teams using manual timers like Harvest typically lose 10-30% of billable time to forgotten entries.

Rize does not have built-in invoicing. It integrates with QuickBooks and FreshBooks via Zapier. The key difference is that the time data flowing into your invoices is more complete because Rize captures hours automatically rather than relying on manual timers.

Rize never takes screenshots, records keystrokes, or captures screen content. It only reads which application or website is in the foreground to categorize time. Your team keeps full privacy while you get accurate billing data.

Harvest users switching to Rize get 30% off their first 3 months on any plan. No promo code needed — mention Harvest during signup or contact us. The offer applies to both individual and team plans.
