    I think Harpoon works best for freelancers, consultants, self employed people and smaller companies with less client to bill. For larger enterprises with hundreds or thousands of clients, there are larger, more intricate platforms in the market that are better suited for those needs.

    This is a great platform for small business owners who are looking for an affordable way to let employees track their time. The user-interface is easy to navigate, reports are set up logically, and you can customize as much as you need. I'd recommend this to any business owner struggling to find an easy way to track time...without having to spend a lot of time to do it accurately

    Cons
    Harpoon
    • Sometimes expense reporting bring up duplicate transactions, which may be more of a fault of the API that connects my account, which is Plaid
    • Would be nice if in the future, they can offer ACH as one of the payment options for invoices
    • There are some redundancies that pop up when setting time frames for client work and the projects attached to them. If they aren't aligned, it can cause inaccurate reporting. If it just sent it once and it took care of both functions, it would be easier

    • Sometimes shows "all employees" even when just one is selected
    • Sometimes hangs up at log in requiring a refresh

    No real complaints on this one except maybe with how clunky the export excel docs are. But that's more a function of Microsoft than it is MyHours as excel drops in a pie chart at the top (not needed, actually) that then scrunches the rows and columns of the data you're actually looking to review.

    The few times I've needed help or had questions about the platform, the founder got back to me. And fairly fast. The extra effort resonated well with me

    I've used Less Accounting and & Quickbooks Online. After Less Accounting was acquired, its development was mostly stopped. While the tool was a simple way to manage invoices and expenses, its directional philosophy changed with the new owners. Quickbooks Online was a solid tool, but the company support was unhelpful and hard to work with at times. Harpoon provides a great tool, with a company that cares about its users.

    Can't really say as we didn't get too deep into using their time function. For QBO, it was just a pain to set up, and no one loved the interface

    • Reporting is clear and easy to adapt (saves us time)
    • Cost is marginal compared to having employees submit separate timesheets that then have to be manually coded
    • Easy to customize reports to see what's really going on (saves money if we can see opportunities to raise a rate or lower hours)
