Moving to Harvest trades a lower seat price for invoicing and accounting sync in every plan. Time comes across by CSV.
Quick verdict: Export Clockify’s Detailed report, reshape it to Harvest’s 8-column time import, add people and projects in Harvest first and import as an Administrator. Get a Flex usage estimate before you commit, and replace any kiosk or GPS workflows, which Harvest does not offer.
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 invoices from tracked time and expenses on every plan, with Stripe payments.
QuickBooks Online and Xero sync come with Teams, with no add-on fee.
Harvest pushes tracked hours to Gusto.
Budget for the higher seat price plus Harvest’s unpublished Flex usage charges.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1Export your Clockify data | Export the Detailed report over the longest date range to CSV or Excel (Basic and up; PDF only on Free). Owners can also export a year of time entries at a time from Workspace settings, then Data export. |
| 2Add people and projects in Harvest | Harvest’s time import needs people and projects to exist first. |
| 3Reshape the CSV | Match Harvest’s columns: Date, Client, Project, Task, Notes, Hours, First name, Last name. |
| 4Import time | An Administrator imports it in Settings, then Import/Export (not on Free). |
| 5Connect accounting | Connect QuickBooks Online or Xero, Stripe and Gusto as needed. |
| 6Replace time-clock workflows | Harvest documents no kiosk or GPS clock-in; decide how hourly staff will log time. |
What this path doesn’t do for you:
No Clockify importer exists; CSV reformatting is needed and start and end times become durations. Kiosk, GPS and screenshots have no Harvest equivalent, and approvals move up to Harvest Enterprise.
