Listen, I didn’t leave all that behind just to build another time tracking software! Jibble is truly different, and I’m going to tell you why in most cases, choosing Harvest over Jibble simply doesn’t add up.
Harvest is a great tool for keeping tabs on project expenses and billing but it misses out on key time tracking and team management features. There’s also a couple issues users have pointed out that affect the app’s performance.
The mobile app is often glitchy, the interface could be more intuitive, and there are just fewer features on Android compared to desktop. So if you need a more reliable and flexible solution, it’s definitely worth exploring better Harvest alternatives.
Harvest is free for a single user only, while Jibble is free forever for unlimited users. That’s a huge advantage for growing teams or small businesses that want powerful features without the high cost.
While Harvest leans more toward invoicing and payments, Jibble is 100% focused on time tracking—and it shows. From clock-ins with facial recognition to automated timesheets and GPS tracking, every feature is designed to make time tracking smarter, easier, and more accurate.
Jibble is also more customizable. You can tailor settings like roles, permissions, timesheets, work policies, and approvals to fit your team’s unique needs. Plus, our reporting is more detailed and easier to export, giving you better visibility into productivity and attendance.

Fabulous app for tracking time for legal services... we don't end up missing out on income due to lack of detail in timesheets. It's simple to use, easy to learn, and quick and painless to implement in our office. Everyone got on board quickly! The management loves the detailed notes about time spent.
Positive experience, I really like how easy it is to use, and the level of customization.
Jibble Rocks! So far, I've tried multiple platforms but I've stuck with Jibble as it is easy to use. Also, it sends me daily, weekly updates on the team's timesheet.
Great tool for remote employees. I love the automated reports that show who on my team is logged in, the reminders when you have been logged in for a certain number of hours each day, and the weekly team recap. After trying several others, Jibble turned out to be the ideal fit for our needs. My team is in Slack all day and it makes it very easy to clock in and out each day by going to the Jibble Channel in Slack. It's super convenient.
Easy and awesome customer support. Fantastic, and a big problem solver for my small team. This is the type of company that will be successful. We've used Jibble since we were on Slack and then moved to MS Teams. The ease of use makes it an amazing tool.. and there is simply no other competitor that is close!
The easier way to log in hours for different clients and track improvement of workflows. Jibble allows you to create a team and create clients, which for our business, being able to log in hours for each specific client is crucial and a huge help for time billing, estimating workflow success and improving and optimizing workflow strategies. Being able to know how many hours we've spent in a certain project is essential for our improvement as a tech team. We use Slack a lot and I love that you can log in and out from slack directly, you don't even need to open Jibble. Super efficient and easy to use.
Wonderful time management software. This has been a lovely experience right from the start. Simple-to-understand set-up, lots of personal support on hand, a useful 'onboarding' session to explore features and help me with exports. We needed a system for tracking consultants' time in contracts broken down by tasks. Jibble is the solution and frankly, no other software that I looked at got even close in terms of ease of use and price.
Jibble makes it very easy to track your time spent on different projects. There is also an app that can be used on your phone if you are on the move. It is extremely easy to add projects and activities.
