Harvest, founded in 2006, is a popular tool for time tracking and invoicing, especially for freelancers and small teams. But maybe the project wrapped up, or you're just tired of seeing another subscription charge. With the whole 'quiet quitting' trend and people shifting to new gigs, it makes sense that you might need to clean up your software subscriptions. This guide will help you cancel your plan, which can range from $12 to over $100 depending on your team size. We'll walk you through the steps for desktop, which is the only way to do it, and help you save up to $144 a year or more.
How to Cancel Harvest Subscription on Desktop (Web Browser)
You can only cancel your Harvest subscription from a desktop web browser. Annoyingly, you can't do it from the iOS or Android apps. The process has to be completed by the person who is the designated 'Account Owner'.
1 Log In to Your Harvest Account
First, open your web browser and head over to the Harvest website. You'll need to log into your account using your credentials. This has to be done by the Account Owner, so if that's not you, you'll need to ask them to do it.
2 Navigate to Settings
Once you're in, look for the Settings link. It's usually hiding in the top-right corner of the page. Give that a click.
3 Find the Subscription Section
Inside the Settings menu, you'll see a bunch of options. You're looking for the Subscription or Billing section. This is where they keep all the payment and plan details.
4 Locate the Cancel Link
Okay, here's the part that can be a little annoying. You need to scroll down to the bottom of the page. Look for a small link that says 'Cancel my account'. They don't make it big and obvious, so you might have to hunt for it for a second.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
After clicking cancel, Harvest will likely ask you a few questions about why you're leaving. You can skip it or answer. Just keep clicking until you see the final confirmation screen. Make sure you hit that last button to finalize the cancellation. Don't close the tab too early.
Cancel Harvest Subscription with email
If you're stuck or have a billing question, your best bet is to email their support team at support@harvestapp.com. They are usually pretty good about responding, but expect to wait about one business day for a reply.
Before you go, know this. Harvest will permanently delete all your account data, including timesheets and invoices, 30 days after you cancel. So, export everything you need beforehand. They generally do not offer refunds for partial months. Instead of canceling, you can also switch to the free plan, which keeps your data intact but limits you to one user and two projects.
