Harvest vs VA Growth Suite
Harvest adds invoicing on top of time tracking, but pricing scales painfully with clients and it has no portal.
| Feature | Harvest | VA Growth Suite |
|---|---|---|
| Time tracking with running timer | ||
| Multi-client dashboard | ||
| PDF invoice generation | ||
| Branded client portal | ||
| Kanban task board per client | ||
| Starts at $0 (free plan) | ||
| No per-user pricing | ||
| Built for VAs specifically | ||
| Starting price | $12/user/mo | $0 free, $19/mo paid |
Harvest — strengths
- Tracks time, generates invoices, and accepts payments
- Integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, and Stripe
- Solid team reporting
Harvest — limits for VAs
- $12/user/mo means $36/mo for a VA with 1 VA and 2 subcontractors
- No client portal — clients can't see task progress
- Invoice templates feel dated and hard to brand
Our honest take
Harvest is built for agencies, not solo VAs. VA Growth Suite gives you the same invoicing + time tracking, plus a portal and task board, at a flat rate.
When Harvest is the right choice
If you're already on Harvest and it's working, don't switch just to save a few dollars. But if you're just starting out as a VA — or you're paying for Harvest plus a second tool for invoicing or a client portal — we built VA Growth Suite to replace that stack.
When VA Growth Suite wins
- You're a solo VA or small agency (not a 20-person design studio)
- You need time tracking and invoicing and a client portal
- Flat pricing matters more than deep workflow automation
- You want to get set up in 5 minutes, not 5 days
