BeOnBoard vs Clockify vs Harvest

This article compares BeOnBoard (BoB), Clockify and Harvest for service teams that bill by the hour: published pricing, which plan unlocks profitability reporting, and how tracked time becomes an invoice.

The short answer: Clockify is the cheapest time tracker and adds labor cost and profit reporting on Pro, at $7.99 per seat per month billed annually. Harvest is a polished time and invoicing tool with profitability reporting on Enterprise, at $14 per seat per month billed annually. BeOnBoard costs more, from $24.95 per user per month, but puts CRM, time tracking, HR, invoicing and a real-time project P&L in one platform.

What is BeOnBoard (BoB)?

BeOnBoard, written BoB, is the business management platform published by Byoxon. It connects CRM, time tracking, HR, invoicing and profit and loss reporting for small tech and professional-service teams. Its P&L module turns billable hours and expenses into gross sales, labor expenses and profit per project, employee and client.

Where Clockify or Harvest is the better choice

• Clockify costs far less per seat. Ten people on Clockify Pro cost $79.90 a month on annual billing, with labor cost and profit reporting included. Ten people on BoB’s first tier cost $249.50.
• Harvest invoices on every plan. Even the free plan includes invoicing and expense tracking, which suits a freelancer who needs clean bills more than margin analysis.

A worked profit example

This is an illustration of the arithmetic, not a result measured in BoB or any customer account.

A team bills 100 hours on a client project at $150 an hour. That is $15,000 in revenue. The loaded labor cost of the people who did the work, plus the project’s direct expenses, totals $9,000. Revenue minus those direct costs leaves a $6,000 contribution before overhead, a 40% contribution margin.

That $6,000 is not net profit; rent, software and admin salaries still come out of it. It shows whether the project paid for the people and costs it consumed. BoB’s “Sales to Expenses” view works this way, showing project profitability without company-wide expenses. Clockify reaches the same number on Pro with labor cost rates; Harvest needs Enterprise.

How tracked time becomes an invoice

1. Set the rates. Give each person, project or client a billing rate, and a cost rate if you want margin. BoB supports hourly, monthly and fixed-bid billing.
2. Log time against the project. Use a timer or a timesheet, and mark each entry billable or non-billable.
3. Review and lock the hours. Approve timesheets before billing so no one edits them afterwards. Clockify offers approvals from Standard, Harvest from Enterprise.
4. Generate the invoice. Pull approved billable hours and expenses into a draft invoice and check it against the contract.
5. Send it and sync accounting. Send the invoice and pass it to your accounting system. BoB exports invoices to QuickBooks Online; Harvest and Clockify both list QuickBooks integrations.

Pricing compared

For ten people, on annual billing where offered, the monthly bill is $79.90 on Clockify Pro (10 × $7.99), $140 on Harvest Enterprise (10 × $14) and $249.50 on BoB (10 × $24.95, the 1–10 user band). Harvest adds that invoices, projects, clients and tasks beyond the base rate are billed on usage. Its Premium page calls profitability reporting, approvals and the activity log Premium features; the pricing page sells them under Enterprise.

BoB is the most expensive of the three at ten seats. Its case is scope: a CRM, HR records and contractor billing that neither Clockify nor Harvest includes. Run your own numbers in the free time tracking calculator.

Buyer checklist

• Which tier carries cost rates and profitability reporting, and what does it cost at your headcount?
• Can you bill hourly, monthly and fixed-fee work from the same time entries?
• Are timesheet approvals and locking on the plan you plan to buy?
• Does the tool invoice subcontractors and vendors, or only clients?
• Where does the sales pipeline live, and do you need a separate CRM?
• Is your accounting integration on your tier, and are any charges usage-based?

What to verify before using time data for financial decisions

A margin report is only as good as the hours and rates behind it. Before you reprice a client or cut a project, check:

• Completeness. Everyone has logged every day in the period. Missing timesheets understate cost and flatter the margin.
• Approval and lock. You analyze approved hours that nobody can edit afterwards.
• Loaded cost rates. Cost rates include payroll taxes and benefits, not base salary alone.
• Rate history. Rate changes apply from the right date and have not rewritten past entries.
• Billed versus tracked. Write-offs, discounts and rounding are reflected, so revenue matches the invoices.
• Overhead treatment. You know whether the report shows contribution before overhead or profit after it.

Notes for US buyers

• Currency. BoB’s homepage lists prices in dollars. Harvest states “All prices in USD.” Clockify shows prices in the currency it detects for your region; its Pro plan adds per-client currencies.
• Tax. Clockify shows prices without taxes and adds VAT where legally required. Neither the BoB homepage nor Harvest’s pricing page states how subscription taxes are handled; verify on the official page. Also confirm how each tool puts sales tax on the invoices you send.
• Support. Clockify lists 24/7 email, chat and phone support on paid plans. Harvest lists scheduled phone support on Teams and Enterprise. BoB’s homepage offers demos and on-demand customization requests but does not publish support hours.
• Data hosting. Clockify Pro and above let you host data in the EU (Germany), UK, USA or Australia. Harvest’s pricing page does not state a hosting region; verify on the official page. BoB’s homepage describes encryption at rest and HTTPS but does not name a hosting region.

Which one fits your team

Choose Clockify if cost per seat decides the purchase and Pro’s profit report is enough. Choose Harvest if time-to-invoice workflow matters most and you can budget for Enterprise. Choose BoB if you want the pipeline, timesheet, invoice, HR record and project margin in one login.
