Harvest feels like 2015. The mobile app, the dashboards, the icons — it all shows its age. Nocta is built for iOS today, with Live Activities and modern motion.
Expensive for solo freelancers. $10.80/month is fine for an agency, but it's a lot for one person tracking a handful of clients.
No Apple Watch app. Harvest never shipped one. Nocta is built for Apple Watch and Lock Screen tracking from day one.
Better earnings view. Nocta shows you what you've earned this week, this month, and per project — live as you track.
When to choose Harvest instead
If you need to send invoices and collect payments inside the same tool.
If you primarily track from a desktop browser and never use mobile.
If you need integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, or Stripe for accounting.
If you run a small agency and need shared timesheets and expense approval workflows.
A time tracker that feels like 2026
Free for 2 projects. Apple Watch and Lock Screen included. Less than half the price of Harvest.
