Comparison
LockedHours vs Harvest: prices and features, side by side
LockedHours costs a flat $6 per seat per month with every feature and no usage fees, and locks that price in its terms. Harvest starts at $9 per seat on Teams and $14 on Enterprise, billed annually, plus usage charges on Flex billing. Harvest is the broader, longer-established product, with native apps, 50+ integrations and scheduling through Forecast, which LockedHours doesn't have.
