Harvest Only Tracks Time
With Harvest, you log hours for projects and invoices and get basic reports on how much time was spent but not what it was spent on.
WebWork Gives Your Team Operational Visibility
With WebWork, you get complete transparency into the work process, you get detailed productivity data, and can pay your team directly based on actual work completed.
Connect Time Worked to Payroll and Make Direct Payments
Unlike Harvest, which focuses on time tracking and invoicing only, with WebWork you get built-in payroll and can send direct payments based on tracked hours—without exporting timesheets or relying on third-party payroll tools.
In fact, WebWork is more than an alternative to Harvest as it also supports payable invoices with built-in payment buttons, allowing your clients to pay directly through invoices.

Harvest vs WebWork: When to choose which?
Harvest is best for:
When you need a free plan for solo users, and simple time tracking with basic reporting and project management will suffice. When your company does not need advanced monitoring tools such as screenshots, app tracking, or detailed productivity analytics. When you need native integrations with tools like Zendesk and Forecast. When your organization requires SOC-2 compliance for enhanced data security.
WebWork is best for:
When you want an affordable solution with advanced features for teams, offering significant value at lower pricing. When detailed productivity insights and monitoring are crucial, including app/website tracking, screenshots, activity level tracking, unusual activity detection. When managing payroll, invoicing, expenses, and payable invoices directly within the platform is important. When you need comprehensive attendance, time-off, and holiday management with built-in shift scheduling and leave tracking. When you want a complete solution for remote or distributed teams with features like location tracking, attendance management, office vs remote analysis, and meeting time analysis. When you need seamless collaboration tools like built-in chat and video meetings alongside team management features. When monitoring work-life balance, or burnout risk is a priority for workforce wellbeing.
