vlastERP vs Harvest: Complete Comparison (2026)

After Bending Spoons acquired Harvest in 2025, pricing changed dramatically. Here's how vlastERP compares — and how to migrate.

Harvest was acquired by Bending Spoons in 2025

Since the acquisition, Harvest has moved many customers to Enterprise-only plans with dramatic price increases. There are documented cases of accounts paying $12/month being migrated to $1,900/month Enterprise plans with little notice. Free and legacy plans are being phased out, and pricing has become unpredictable.

If you're currently on Harvest, we recommend exporting your data now — regardless of which tool you switch to.

When to choose Harvest

  • You already have a locked-in legacy plan that hasn't been migrated yet.
  • You rely heavily on Harvest's third-party integrations (Asana, Basecamp, etc.) and cannot replace them.
  • Your organization has already negotiated an Enterprise contract at acceptable terms.

When to choose vlastERP

  • You want transparent, predictable pricing that won't spike 10x overnight.
  • You need expense tracking, recurring invoices, and team roles included — not locked behind Enterprise.
  • EU compliance (GDPR), 2FA, and audit trails are requirements for your business.
  • You're a solo freelancer or small team that needs a free trial to get started.
