What happens after the 14-day trial?

You automatically drop to the free plan — no charge, no interruption. You keep all your tasks and data forever. No credit card required to start.

Does Flowly sync with Google Calendar?

Yes. Pro plan includes two-way Google Calendar sync. Events appear as tasks, and Flowly tasks show up in your calendar so your schedule stays in one place.

Can I export my data?

Always. Export all tasks, time logs, and analytics as CSV or JSON from your account settings at any time — your data is yours.

How is Flowly different from using Toggl + Todoist?

Flowly tracks time inside the task — no tab switching, no import/export, no double-entry. One click starts the timer; one click marks done. Everything lives in the same view.

What happens if I cancel Pro?

You drop to the free tier immediately with no data loss. Tasks beyond the free limit are archived (not deleted) and restored automatically if you resubscribe.

Does Flowly have invoicing?

Yes. Flowly generates branded PDF invoices with a hosted payment link in one click — tracked hours flow into invoice line items automatically. The difference from Harvest is the surrounding scope: Harvest pairs invoicing with team time tracking, expense tracking, and QuickBooks/Xero accounting integrations; Flowly pairs invoicing with task management and analytics for one person.

Is Harvest's free plan enough for freelancers?

Harvest's free plan is limited to 1 seat and 2 projects. If you have more than 2 active clients, you need the paid plan at $9-11/month. Flowly's free plan supports 20 tasks across 3 projects, which covers more use cases for getting started.

Can I use Harvest and Flowly together?

You could, but it defeats the purpose of consolidation. Flowly's value is having tasks and timers in one place. If you need Harvest's invoicing, consider using Harvest for invoicing only and Flowly for daily task and time management.

Which is better for tracking billable hours?

Both track billable hours accurately. Harvest connects time directly to invoices, which is faster for billing. Flowly connects time to tasks, which gives you better visibility into what you actually worked on. The choice depends on whether your bottleneck is invoicing speed or time visibility.

Harvest vs Flowly

The Harvest Alternative for Solo Freelancers

Harvest has been a staple of freelance and agency time tracking since 2006. It does two things well: time tracking and invoicing. The ability to turn tracked hours directly into invoices is a genuine workflow advantage that few competitors match. For agencies billing multiple clients, it is a proven, reliable tool.

The friction for solo freelancers: Harvest is priced per seat ($11/month, or $9/month annual), which is reasonable for teams but expensive for one person who also needs task management. And task management is the gap — Harvest tracks time by project, but your actual task list still needs to live elsewhere. You end up running Harvest alongside Todoist or Notion, paying for two tools.

Flowly combines task management and time tracking in one interface from $8/month annual or $12/month monthly. One-click timers on task cards, analytics by task and project, and break reminders. And invoicing is now first-class: tracked hours generate a branded PDF + hosted payment link in one click — the exact feature that historically made Harvest the freelancer pick. For solo freelancers, Flowly is now a flat-fee alternative without per-seat pricing or team-feature scope.
