Teams reconsider Harvest when the bill grows with every extra seat, when approvals and profitability reports sit on the Enterprise tier, or when they need invoices that meet a national tax format such as Peppol, SdI or German e-invoicing. The routes lead to country-specific invoicing tools, self-hosted software, or invoicing inside an accounting package.
Sebastiaan SmitsFounderShort answer: Looking for a replacement for Harvest? Billit, Fakturoid and Fatture in Cloud come first in our invoicing ranking. Ranking order favours the challenger over the household name, so the best-known vendors begin at place 4 where the category allows it. Start with Billit if your clients in Belgium require Peppol e-invoices. Every one of the 11 products below comes from Best Invoicing Software in 2026, with a note on how it departs from Harvest.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
Harvest lists Teams at 11 dollars per seat per month, or 9 dollars on annual billing, and Enterprise at 17.50 or 14 dollars. Extra invoices, projects, clients and tasks are billed by usage on both. Seats cannot be removed mid-cycle, only at the next renewal. A growing agency sees the bill follow headcount.
Free covers one seat, two projects and up to four custom reports. Team reporting, accounting integrations and scheduled phone support start on Teams. A studio of three therefore pays from the first colleague, and the 30-day trial is the only way to test shared features.
The integrations page describes invoicing mainly through partners: QuickBooks Online and Xero copy Harvest invoices, Stripe and PayPal take payments. Approvals, profitability reporting and SAML single sign-on are Enterprise features. Firms wanting a national e-invoice format or a ledger in the same tool look elsewhere.

Belgium · Published
Billit of Ghent sends and receives structured e-invoices over Peppol, which Belgian businesses must use for business-to-business invoices since early 2026, and processes purchase invoices and receipts too. Pricing follows documents per month with every feature included. It is not bookkeeping software.
Switch from Harvest if your clients in Belgium require Peppol e-invoices.
Czechia · Published
Fakturoid is a Czech product with a free plan for up to five clients and low-priced paid plans. Automated payment chasing from the middle plan up is its strongest part, and Czech and Slovak tax handling works out of the box. English documentation trails the Czech.
Switch from Harvest if you invoice from the Czech Republic or Slovakia and want chasing automated.

Fatture in Cloud is built around the Italian SdI exchange and sold as annual subscriptions, with the accountant given direct access. It belongs to the TeamSystem group. The cheap first year applies to one flat-rate plan only. Outside Italy it has no purpose.

Moneybird is a Dutch bookkeeping and invoicing service with a clean interface, VAT returns and accountant handover. Plans are billed monthly and published. It earns its place in the Netherlands and Belgium, while elsewhere the compliance argument fades.
Switch from Harvest if you are a Dutch business that wants VAT returns beside invoices.
United States · Published
Invoice Ninja can run on your own server at no per-invoice cost, or as a hosted service with a free plan for five clients. It supports more payment gateways than the commercial tools. The code is public under the Elastic License 2.0, which is source-available rather than open source, and hosting is your job.
Switch from Harvest if you want to host invoicing yourself and connect many payment gateways.

Bonsai stretches from proposals and contracts to payment for freelancers, priced per user with a 7-day trial. Invoices and contracts start on the second plan, Essentials. It now belongs to Zoom, and it matters less once a bookkeeper handles the paperwork.
Switch from Harvest if you freelance and want proposals, contracts and invoices in one account.

sevdesk issues compliant German invoices and takes bookkeeping far enough for the tax adviser to continue. A free plan allows three invoices a month and paid plans are published monthly. Its compliance work is only useful in Germany.

Canada · Published
FreshBooks Invoicing is Canadian and turns tracked hours into invoices without re-entry, which is the saving Harvest users already know. Pricing is monthly and tied to client tiers, so the price rises sooner than expected on the lower plans.
Switch from Harvest if you bill by the hour and keep few clients.

Billit: It sends and receives structured invoices over Peppol, with every feature in every plan and pricing by documents per month.
Invoice Ninja: It runs on your own server without per-invoice fees, under the source-available Elastic License 2.0.
easybill: From the Professional plan it generates invoices from shop and marketplace orders, with DATEV export included.
Fakturoid: A free plan covers five clients, and automated chasing starts on the middle plan.
Zoho Invoice: It is free up to 500 invoices a year and two users, with a client portal and time tracking.
Harvest remains a sound pick for a small agency or consultancy where the timesheet is the invoice. Its timer, expense tracking and invoicing sit in one product, and its integrations include Stripe, PayPal, QuickBooks Online, Xero and project tools such as Asana, Jira and Trello. If you are one person with two projects the free plan is enough, and a team that relies on hours should price the Enterprise gap before leaving.
Export clients, projects, tasks and time entries as CSV before the trial ends, and decide which billing rates carry over. Old invoices remain records in Harvest or in your accounting package, so keep QuickBooks or Xero as the system of record rather than retyping them.
Stripe and PayPal payment links on past invoices, calendar sync and project-tool connections are tied to the Harvest account. List each one someone uses and test its replacement on one live project before the cut-over. Hour-based billing needs a timer elsewhere if the new tool lacks one.
Harvest lists a Free plan, Teams at 11 dollars per seat per month (9 dollars billed annually), Enterprise at 17.50 (14 annually) and Enterprise Plus on quote. Usage charges apply to extra invoices, projects, clients and tasks.
The Free plan stops at one seat and two projects. Teams and Enterprise include a 30-day trial, so a team of three pays from its first colleague. Zoho Invoice is free up to two users and 500 invoices a year.
Invoice Ninja runs on your own server, under the source-available Elastic License 2.0. Hosting, updates and backups are yours; the hosted free plan covers five clients.
