Clockify publishes a Harvest migration guide: export a CSV from Harvest, match Clockify’s columns and import. Seat costs usually fall sharply.
Quick verdict: Export all time from Harvest as CSV, match Clockify’s import columns (Email, Project, Client, Description, Start Date, Start Time, Duration), invite users first so emails match, and import in Workspace settings. Choose Standard ($5.49 a seat, annual) if you invoice or approve timesheets.
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.
Clockify charges $3.99 to $11.99 a seat a month on annual billing, with no usage fees.
Clockify’s free plan covers up to 5 users.
Kiosk from Basic, GPS on Pro.
Pick Standard if you invoice from the tracker: Clockify’s Basic plan has no invoicing.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1Export your Harvest data | Administrators go to Settings, then Import/Export: export all time as CSV and all invoices and estimates as a zip of PDFs. Projects, tasks, people and clients export to Excel or CSV. |
| 2Invite users in Clockify | Clockify matches imported rows by email, so invite everyone first; rows for unknown emails are skipped. |
| 3Match the columns | Rename Harvest’s columns to Clockify’s: Email, Project, Client, Description, Start Date, Start Time, Duration. |
| 4Import | Upload in Workspace settings, then Import; importing time entries needs a paid plan or trial. |
| 5Rebuild invoicing and accounting | Invoicing needs Standard; QuickBooks sync is on Standard, Xero is a $4.99-a-month add-on. |
| 6Archive Harvest invoices | Export invoices and estimates as PDFs before you cancel. |
What this path doesn’t do for you:
Invoices, expenses and payment history do not import. Harvest’s Stripe payments and Gusto sync have no documented Clockify equivalent.

Yes, by CSV. Clockify’s help center has a Harvest migration guide; importing time entries needs a paid plan or trial.
Not if you choose Standard ($5.49 a seat a month, annual) or higher.
Clockify documents no Gusto integration; it offers a QuickBooks Payroll add-on.
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.
