Switch from Harvest

Harvest tracks time. You need the full picture.

Harvest tracks time. That's it. You're using 3 other tools to invoice, pay team members, and close your books. We replace all four.

Why firms switch from Harvest

Every one of these is something Harvest can't do — or makes painfully hard.

Harvest charges $12/user/month

CherryWorks Pro includes unlimited users on every plan. A 15-person firm saves $2,160/year in seat fees alone.

No invoicing from billable time

CherryWorks Pro generates invoices directly from approved time entries. Line items link back to individual time entries for full traceability.

No project profitability reports

Harvest tracks time but can't show you if projects are profitable. CherryWorks Pro calculates revenue minus labor cost minus expenses per project automatically.

No 1099 + W-2 + Corp-to-Corp support

Manage all three worker classifications in one platform. Smart onboarding adapts to each type. Payouts and 1099 exports built in.

No general ledger or accounting

CherryWorks Pro includes a full chart of accounts, double-entry journal entries, trial balance report, and bank reconciliation.

No auto-reimbursement payouts

When you approve a reimbursable expense, CherryWorks Pro automatically creates a payout for the team member. No manual tracking.

Harvest only tracks time — you need the full picture

Time → invoice → collect → pay team members → report profitability. CherryWorks Pro is the complete operating system, not just a timer.
