Read full review I think Harpoon works best for freelancers, consultants, self employed people and smaller companies with less client to bill.

I like that I don't have to think about it much, love the
Slack integrations for my team and how easy it was to transition from our old process into Calamari. It's simple, clear, and for a small team, it has everything I need.
