No extra fees as your usage grows
Harvest charges additional usage-based fees for certain invoices, projects, clients, and tasks. Jibble doesn't charge based on the number of invoices, projects, clients, or tasks you use, so your costs don't increase as your usage grows.
Time tracking software with invoicing → Attendance tracking, not just project tracking
Harvest focuses on tracking time against projects and tasks. Jibble adds attendance tools for office, remote, and field teams, with clock-ins via kiosk, mobile, desktop, or web, plus facial recognition, GPS, and geofencing to verify who is clocking in and where.
Time and attendance software → Track every hour, including overtime
Harvest tracks project hours but leaves overtime out of the picture. Jibble keeps timesheets accurate with automated hours, custom overtime rules, and approvals, so overtime is calculated correctly.
Overtime tracker → Connect to the tools you use at no cost
Harvest offers some integrations on its free plan, but key connections like QuickBooks and Xero require a paid plan. Jibble includes integrations with popular business tools, including QuickBooks and Xero, for free.

Easy to use and transparent
Easy features and dashboard and the best feature is the chrome extension which all of us loved. Happy Jibbling!
Very simple to set up
It's a very easy to use tool which gives you peace of mind that your employees are on-site and it logs employee hours for payroll.
The best face attendance system
The best face attendance system. It reports to my outlook account all mismatches that happen and there is an option to see separate pictures with geolocation which is extremely precise. I am satisfied with it.
Great for tracking work hours, overtime and PTO
I can easily monitor daily activities with Jibble's time tracking. I can track remote workers' hours as well as overtime, and also set the calendar according to my region to assign holidays and weekends accordingly.
Hassle-free work hour tracking!
