Harvest tracks hours brilliantly – but CRM, quotes, and GoBD-compliant invoices live elsewhere. cashwerk brings it all into one platform.

Kurz gesagt
cashwerk is a German all-in-one alternative to Harvest that combines time tracking with CRM, project management, quotes, and GoBD-ready invoicing in one GDPR-compliant platform – for agencies and service businesses that want to go from logged hours straight to a finished invoice.

Harvest makes time tracking pleasantly simple. But once sales, projects, and compliance come into play, a patchwork of tools grows around it – exactly where cashwerk starts.
Harvest focuses on timers, project budgets, and basic invoices with Stripe and QuickBooks connections. CRM, Kanban boards, quotes, and German compliance requirements are left out – requiring additional tools and interfaces.
cashwerk connects time tracking with CRM pipeline, tasks, quotes, documents, and dashboards. Tracked hours flow directly into project budgets and invoices – margins stay visible without exports.
Hosting is a real differentiator: cashwerk runs exclusively in German data centers and is built GDPR-compliant. Harvest is US-hosted – which means extra effort in every data protection review.
And costs stay predictable: one plan replaces the combination of Harvest, CRM, and accounting subscriptions – AI assistant CASPER included, no add-on surprises.
For agencies and service businesses in the DACH region that want to work from tracked hour to invoice in one tool, cashwerk is the best Harvest alternative: time tracking is directly connected to CRM, projects, quotes, and GoBD-compliant invoicing – GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany. If all you need is a lean timer, Harvest remains a solid choice.
Toggl Track, Clockify and Everhour are solid alternatives to Harvest for time tracking. The difference with cashwerk: tracked hours flow straight into project budgets, quotes and invoices — no more exporting timesheets into a second program. Hosted in Germany, GDPR-compliant.
Harvest is a specialized US time-tracking tool with basic invoicing. cashwerk is a business platform: time, projects, CRM, quotes, and GoBD-compliant invoices (incl. XRechnung/ZUGFeRD) share one data model – tracked hours land in billing without any export.
No. cashwerk covers timers, manual time entry, project budgets, and billing – plus CRM, Kanban, and quotes that Harvest never had. Running both just creates duplicate reporting.
Yes, via CSV import. For larger migrations, the onboarding team helps with mapping clients, projects, and hourly rates.
Yes. Invoices are GoBD-compliant and can be issued as XRechnung and ZUGFeRD – including clean number ranges and a full document history.
Harvest looks cheap but only covers time and basic invoices. With a separate CRM and project tool, a five-person stack quickly exceeds €200/month – cashwerk bundles the same scope in one plan.
