⚡ vs. Harvest
Harvest was acquired by Bending Spoons. Chronixo is independently built for agencies.
Harvest's 2025 acquisition by Bending Spoons has driven a significant customer exodus. Chronixo is the independent alternative - built for agencies - with sprint planning, a client portal, BYOS S3, and 4-level approvals that Harvest has never offered.

Chronixo vs. Harvest
Everything Harvest leaves you piecing together - and how Chronixo delivers it in one platform.
What Harvest is missing
Acquired by Bending Spoons in 2025 - pricing and feature trajectory uncertain
Time tracking and basic invoicing only - no project management or sprint planning
No client portal - status sharing is manual report preparation
No multi-level timesheet approval - managers approve by email or not at all
No screenshot or activity monitoring at any tier
Pricing increased post-acquisition for many existing customers
What Chronixo gives you
Independently owned - no acquisition risk, no subscription changes incoming
Native sprint planning - Harvest has no project management built in
Client portal included - clients get self-service access, not status emails
4-level timesheet approval chain - not available in Harvest
BYOS S3 screenshot monitoring - your data stays in your cloud
Active product development - new features shipping weekly

What Chronixo adds that Harvest never had
Sprint planning (exclusive)

Client portal
Branded client login to view project progress, sprint status, and documents live.
BYOS S3 monitoring
Screenshot monitoring that routes to your own cloud. Harvest has no monitoring at all.
Why teams switch
Why agencies move from Harvest to Chronixo
The real reasons agencies replace Harvest with Chronixo.
01
Post-acquisition uncertainty
Bending Spoons has a pattern of aggressive pricing changes and feature removals after acquisitions. If you are on Harvest, your current pricing and features may look different within 12-18 months.
02
No sprint planning
Harvest does time tracking and basic invoicing. There is no sprint planning, project management, or client portal - teams using Harvest still maintain 2-3 additional tools.
03
No client visibility
Harvest has no client portal. Clients who want to see project status get a PDF export or a prepared report email - not a live, branded self-service portal.
