Harvest has no Toggl importer; time comes across through Harvest’s CSV import. The payoff is invoicing, expenses and accounting sync built in.
Heads up: Toggl now sells Toggl Track inside its unified Toggl plans (time tracking plus planning). Prices here are the ones new customers see on toggl.com/pricing, checked September 19, 2026. Existing Toggl Track accounts keep their current plans.
Quick verdict: Export Toggl’s Detailed report, reshape it to Harvest’s 8-column time import (Date, Client, Project, Task, Notes, Hours, First name, Last name), add people and projects in Harvest first, then import as an Administrator. Get a Flex usage estimate from Harvest before you commit, because usage charges are not published.
Most buyers only budget for the new subscription. This estimates the hidden labor, data-cleanup, and retraining cost of actually making the switch.
Estimate assumes: 1 hour of data-mapping/cleaning labor per 2,000 records, a blended $75/hr ops rate, tiered migration & cleaning tooling fees, and 4 hours of retraining per seat at a $45/hr fully-loaded rate.
Harvest turns tracked time and expenses into invoices on every plan.
QuickBooks Online, Xero, Stripe and Gusto connect on Teams and up.
Harvest Teams has no seat cap.
Ask Harvest for your likely Flex usage charges at your project and client count before you move.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1Export your Toggl data | Export the Detailed report for your full date range as CSV or Excel (paid plans). Admins can also export workspace data from Settings, then Data Export; Toggl emails a link valid for 72 hours, with data as JSON and invoices as PDF. |
| 2Add people and projects in Harvest | Harvest’s time import needs people and projects to exist first. |
| 3Reshape the CSV | Match Harvest’s 8 columns: Date, Client, Project, Task, Notes, Hours, First name, Last name. Imports carry durations, not start and end times. |
| 4Import time | An Administrator imports it in Settings, then Import/Export (not available on Free). |
| 5Connect accounting | Connect QuickBooks Online or Xero, Stripe and, if you use it, Gusto. |
| 6Recreate rates and approvals | Set billable and cost rates on Teams; approvals and SSO need Enterprise. |
What this path doesn’t do for you:
Toggl’s planning features (timelines, capacity) have no Harvest equivalent, and Harvest keeps approvals and SSO for Enterprise. Start and end times do not survive the CSV import.

Only through Harvest’s generic CSV time import; there is no Toggl-specific importer.
Both start at $9 a seat on annual billing, but Harvest adds Flex usage charges that it does not publish.
Enterprise, from $14 a seat a month on annual billing plus usage.
Yes, as exports. Keep the full CSV export and invoice PDFs from the old tool as your archive; historical rates and approvals do not carry over as live settings.
