Harvest is a US-based tool designed for agencies and freelancers who bill clients by the hour and need expense tracking. TimeTally is designed for UK employers who need employee timesheets, holiday management, and direct UK payroll exports. If you're paying staff rather than billing clients, TimeTally is purpose-built for your workflow.

Harvest's entire workflow revolves around tracking billable hours against client projects, generating invoices, and managing expenses — features built for agencies and freelancers, not UK employers. TimeTally is designed for UK businesses that need employees to submit weekly timesheets, managers to approve them, and payroll teams to export approved hours to Xero or QuickBooks. It also includes UK holiday entitlement tracking that Harvest doesn't offer at all.

Harvest doesn't track holidays or annual leave. If you need both timesheets and holiday management, you'd need Harvest plus a separate tool — paying for two subscriptions.
TimeTally includes both for £2/employee. One tool, one login, one bill.
