GoKawiilBending Spoons hikes Harvest invoicing prices up to 10x, adds 2% fee
Harvest, a time-tracking and invoicing tool acquired by Bending Spoons in 2025, has restructured its pricing. A longtime customer reports their monthly cost rose from $13.32 to $133.98 under a new 'enterprise/unlimited' plan, while an alternative 'flex' plan at $12.65 now adds a 2% surcharge on top of standard card processing fees. The customer also says email support has been replaced by an automated LLM response system.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The changes follow a now-familiar pattern after Bending Spoons acquisitions, including its prior takeover of Vimeo, where customers have reported sharp price increases and reduced service quality. For small-business software used by independent contractors, steep price hikes and added transaction fees could push longtime users toward competitors, though no alternative has yet emerged as a replacement in this account.
- Harvest's pricing changed to an 'enterprise/unlimited' model, raising one customer's bill roughly tenfold.
- A cheaper 'flex' plan now includes an extra 2% fee on top of standard card processing costs.
- Customer support reportedly shifted to automated LLM-generated responses instead of human replies.
