Malleable vs Harvest

Time tracking built around your calendar, not your invoices.

Harvest is a polished tool for tracking billable hours and converting them into invoices. Malleable is built around a different premise: your calendar is already the most accurate record of how you spend your time. Use it.

No credit card to start. Free forever on the Solo plan.

In fairness

Harvest's invoicing and expense tracking are genuinely strong. For freelancers and agencies billing clients hourly, the billing → invoice workflow is hard to replace.

See it work

Tell it what you need. It writes the calendar.

Type the sentence you would say to a coworker. Malleable reads it, schedules it on Google Calendar, and keeps your board and time tracking in the same line of sight.

Malleable vs Harvest

The honest side-by-side.

Where Harvest stops and where Malleable picks up. Read it straight, then decide for yourself.

Your calendar is your timesheet

HARVEST

Harvest is a separate system from your calendar. You track time in Harvest, events live in Google Calendar, and reconciling the two is a manual task. Many people end up logging time at end-of-week from memory.

MALLEABLE

Malleable treats your Google Calendar as the source of truth. Events become time entries. Recurring meetings become tracked patterns. You see the full picture of your week without re-entering data.

AI scheduling, not just reporting

HARVEST

Harvest gives you reports: hours by project, by client, by team member. Useful for understanding the past. But Harvest has no way to help you structure next week differently based on what you learn.

MALLEABLE

Malleable closes the loop. See that client meetings are eating your Tuesdays, then tell Malleable to protect Tuesday mornings for focused work — and it adjusts your availability automatically.

Natural language time entry

HARVEST

Logging time in Harvest involves selecting a project, task, and adding a note. The timer widget helps, but it's still a context switch away from your actual work.

MALLEABLE

"Log 90 minutes on the website redesign project for this morning." Malleable parses and files it. Or skip manual entries entirely — let your calendar populate your time log automatically.

Simpler pricing

HARVEST

Harvest charges per seat per month. For solo users or small teams, the cost can exceed the value if invoicing isn't part of the workflow.

MALLEABLE

Malleable is $9/month for everything. Calendar sync, time tracking, AI scheduling, booking pages. No per-seat pricing, no module add-ons.

Comparison reflects publicly documented plans at time of writing. Harvest is a trademark of its owner; Malleable is not affiliated with Harvest.

Why founders move over

One app, not a stack

Booking, scheduling, a board, and time tracking under one login. Stop paying for a tracker on top of your scheduling tool.

Your calendar stays yours

Google Calendar remains the source of truth with real two-way sync. Nothing to migrate, nothing to trust blindly.

Free to start, fair to grow

A genuinely free plan, then $9/mo when you need more. Annual billing brings two months free. No seats to count.

Let your calendar do the logging.

Connect Google Calendar and get a live view of where your time goes — automatically, from day one.
