Is Chronum as powerful as Harvest for billing?

For solo freelancers, yes. You get multi-currency, PDF invoices, and rate tracking. What you don't get are team features — which is the point.

Why is Chronum cheaper than Harvest?

We don't build team features. No team timesheets, no capacity planning, no project assignments. By focusing on solo workflows, we keep the product simpler and the price lower (free during beta, $5/month after).

Does Chronum integrate with accounting software?

Not yet — integrations are on our roadmap. For now, you can export invoice data or use the PDF invoices directly with your accountant.

What if I grow and need team features later?

Harvest would be a better fit at that point. Chronum is intentionally solo-focused. We'd rather you use the right tool than force team features you don't need.

Same Billing Power. Half the Complexity.

Harvest is built for teams. If you're a solo freelancer, you're paying for features you don't need. Chronum gives you the same billing capabilities without the team management overhead.

Why Solo Freelancers Leave Harvest

Team software for a team of one?

Harvest is excellent — if you have a team. But solo freelancers often find themselves navigating features designed for managers: team timesheets, capacity planning, project assignments. At $11+ per seat, you're paying for collaboration features you'll never use.

Chronum strips away the team complexity. You get the same billing power — professional invoices, multi-currency support, historical rates — in an interface designed for people who work alone. No team hierarchy to configure. No seats to manage. Just tracking and billing.

Historical Rates Preserved

Harvest Lacks Historical Rates

Change your rate in Harvest and past reports change too. Chronum preserves historical rates: old sessions keep their original rates, new sessions use the updated one. No retroactive billing surprises.

Batch Invoice Generation

Monthly Billing in One Click

Harvest requires creating invoices one project at a time. Chronum's batch invoicing lets you select multiple projects and generate all invoices at once. End-of-month billing goes from 30 minutes to 30 seconds.
