Switch from Harvest to Quattora
Bring what you have built over in an afternoon — matched to Harvest's own export files, with an undo for every import.
Harvest tracks time and sends invoices well. Quattora adds the pipeline before the project and the profitability after it — with your hours and invoices carried over.

What does not come over
We would rather say it here than surprise you after the import:
- CompaniesClient addresses land in the notes field — tidy them on the company afterwards.Why: Harvest exports the address as one block of text; rather than guess which line is the street, we keep it whole in the notes.
- ContactsJob titles and fax numbers.Why: Quattora contacts have no job-title or fax field.
- ProjectsProject types, billable rates, fees and the people assigned — set them on each project afterwards.Why: Harvest's project export lists the project, its client, code and dates; rates, fees and assignments live on each project's own settings screen and are not in the file.
- HoursRates and roles. People are matched by first and last name — invite your team first so their names line up.Why: Rates sit in Harvest's per-person settings, not in the time report — Quattora prices hours from your own cost rates. The report names people by first and last name, so that is the only key to match on.
- InvoicesLine items and PDFs. Each invoice arrives with its total and tax, not its original lines; paid ones get a payment.Why: The invoice report is one row per invoice with its total; line items exist only in each invoice's own PDF.

No card. The setup takes a couple of minutes and lands you at the import.
Import, in order, with an undo
Companies first, then the people at them, then projects, hours and invoices. Columns are matched for you; anything that went wrong can be undone in one click.
What you gain
The whole loop in one place
Deals become projects, hours become invoices, invoices become profit you can see per project.
Your data at home
Hosted in the EU, exportable any time, or run Quattora on your own servers.
Nothing to lose by trying
Every import is a batch with its own undo. Keep what worked, take back what did not.
Questions people ask before switching
Export steps checked against Harvest's documentation on Sep 23, 2026. If something has moved, the column mapping lets you fix it on the spot.
Also switching from…
Every tool gets the same treatment: its own export steps, what comes over, what does not, and an undo.
HoneyBook
HoneyBook books the client and collects the payment. Quattora adds logged hours, project profitability and a team calendar — hosted in the EU, or on your own servers.
Bonsai
Bonsai keeps a freelancer's admin tidy. Quattora grows with a team: capacity, cost rates and project margin — and every import can be undone.
Productive
Productive covers the agency loop from deal to invoice. Quattora covers it too, with seats included in every plan and the option to run it on your own servers.
Scoro
Scoro runs the whole business. Quattora keeps the loop — deals, projects, hours, invoices, profit — with a lighter setup and imports you can undo.
Leave Harvest without leaving your history
Clients, projects, hours and invoices, brought over in an afternoon — and the whole loop from lead to profit from then on.
