See what your renewal really costs.
Enter your seats, what you pay per seat today, and the renewal quote you received. We don't guess at usage fees. Your quote already includes them.
Bale annual pricing; monthly billing is $11/seat. We only save these figures if you join the waitlist. Harvest is a trademark of its owner; Bale is independent and not affiliated.
Every hour, invoice and client. Not just last quarter.
Connect your Harvest account and Bale copies your full history: time entries, clients, projects, tasks, rates, invoices, payments, expenses and estimates. Then a reconciliation report compares totals on both sides, so you can confirm nothing was lost.
Reserve my import slot- Time entries, all years
- Clients, projects, tasks and rates
- Invoices and payments
- Expenses and estimates
- Team members, roles and rates
Off your old plan before your renewal date. Three steps, one afternoon.
Step 1: Connect your Harvest account
Authorize Bale through Harvest's official sign-in. Bale only reads your data and never changes anything in your old account.
Step 2: We copy everything
Every time entry, client, project, invoice, payment, expense and estimate comes across in the background. We email you when it's done.
Step 3: Check the totals and go
Review the reconciliation report, invite your team, and cancel your old plan before it renews.
Your agency, the day after you switch.
Your Harvest history is already here and checked against the totals you know. Your invoices go out from the time your team approved, and you can finally see which clients make you money.
Every total from your Harvest account, side by side with Bale, so you can cancel knowing nothing was lost.
Your invoices are built from approved time, and your clients pay by card or ACH from one link.
Your margin by client and utilization by person, so you spot the project that's losing money while it's still running.
If you bill clients by the hour, yes.
- You run a design studio, dev shop, marketing agency, consultancy or architecture practice
- Your team is somewhere between 2 and 50 people
- You track time in Harvest today and send invoices from it
- Your next renewal quote made you open a spreadsheet
The workflow you already know. Nothing sold back to you as an add-on.
Timer
Start and stop the timer from the web or the browser extension, just like you do today. Edit, split and add notes in seconds.
Timesheets
The weekly grid your team already fills in, with billable and non-billable time and your rates per person or project, all carried over.
Approvals
You review and lock your team's timesheets before they become invoices. Nothing slips through and nothing gets billed twice.
Budgets
Your project budgets in hours or fees come over intact, with alerts at the thresholds you choose, before the overrun, not after.
Invoicing and payments
Turn approved time and expenses into invoices your clients pay by card or ACH. Reminders and recurring invoices run themselves.
Scheduling
See who on your team is booked on what for the weeks ahead. Scheduling is built in, not a separate app you pay for.
The things you've been asking Harvest for.
You'll get all six in our first release, included in every Team seat. Bale is in early access, so join the waitlist to get in first.
Profitability and utilization
Margin by client and project, billable utilization by person, and uninvoiced work, on every plan instead of behind a sales call.
AI-drafted timesheets
Bale drafts your week from your calendar and the tools you connect. You review and confirm. No screenshots, no keystroke logging.
Forgotten-timer rescue
A timer left running past your usual day gets flagged with a one-tap fix, and an empty day gets a gentle nudge before the timesheet closes.
Retainers that roll over
Monthly retainer budgets with rollover rules, burn alerts and overage billing, so recurring clients are never a guess.
Client portal
Clients see hours against budget, approve timesheets and pay invoices in one link. No more spreadsheet exports.
Faster weekly entry
Copy last week in one click, add notes directly in the weekly grid, and keyboard shortcuts for everything.
The best customer service you've ever had. In writing.
These aren't aspirations. They're commitments in our terms, with a credit if we miss them.
Blocking bugs fixed within 24 hours
Any confirmed bug that stops your team from tracking time, approving timesheets or getting paid is fixed within 24 hours of your report. If we miss it, that month is free.
Every feature request decided within a week
Within 7 days you get a real answer: shipped, scheduled with a date, or a straight no with the reason. We aim to ship most requests that same week.
A human reply within one business day
From the people who build Bale. No bots, no ticket queues, no "we've passed this to the team".
One price per seat. Written into our terms.
Harvest's Teams plan is also $9 a seat, but its pricing bills extra invoices, projects, clients and tasks based on usage. With Bale you pay per seat and nothing else, and your price is locked for 36 months.

Based on each vendor's published import documentation and offers, October 2026. Toggl Track imports 12 months of time entries and no invoices or expenses. Clockify has no Harvest importer; time imports by CSV on paid plans, and expenses can't be imported. Productive imports 3 months of time; invoices and expenses aren't importable.
Straight answers.
Is Bale affiliated with Harvest?
No. Bale is an independent product. We built it for you if you liked how Harvest worked and want predictable pricing again.
What exactly does the import bring over?
Time entries from every year, clients, projects, tasks, billable and cost rates, invoices, payments, expenses, estimates and team members. A reconciliation report compares totals before and after. Forecast schedules aren't included yet, because Forecast has no stable public API.
What does the 36-month price lock mean?
If you join during early access, your per-seat price cannot go up for 36 months. It is written into your terms, not a promise on a blog post.
Are there any usage fees?
No. You pay per seat. Invoices, projects, clients and tasks are unlimited and never metered.
Do you monitor screens or keystrokes?
Never. Bale tracks the time people choose to log. No screenshots, no activity scores, no surveillance.
What counts as a blocking bug?
Anything that stops you tracking time, approving timesheets, sending invoices or getting paid, or that shows wrong numbers. We fix cosmetic issues quickly too, but the 24-hour promise and the free-month credit apply to blocking bugs.
Do you really build what customers ask for?
Every request gets a decision within 7 days: shipped, scheduled with a date, or a clear no and why. We can't build everything, but we won't leave you guessing.
When can we switch?
We invite you in order of your renewal date, so join with your renewal month and we will reach you before it.
What if my Harvest renewal comes before Bale is ready for me?
Switch your Harvest plan to monthly billing before your renewal date so you aren't locked into another year, and add your renewal month when you join the waitlist. We'll prioritize you.
Your renewal can wait. Your move can't.
