Harvest vs Fiverr Workspace vs Kosmo: The Final Verdict

Harvest, Fiverr Workspace and Kosmo are all freelance project management platforms designed to help freelancers (and other businesses) optimize their operations. All three platforms offer similar features that differ on complexity and customization options. In the end it comes down to what the freelancer truly needs to run an efficient business.

Harvest does a good job as a time-tracking app, but lacks some important features like proposals, todo-lists and standard contracts, that many freelancers are looking for in a project management software. Their $12/month plan is definitely more affordable than many competitors, but also comes with fewer features that several competitors offer as part of their standard premium plan.

If you don’t work for a large agency and are looking for a clean uncluttered interface, beautiful branded invoices, customizable documents and a competitive price – Kosmo will work best for you. Also, you can use your own payment accounts like PayPal and Stripe. Kosmo does not charge any processing fees on those payments.

If you work primarily with clients from Fiverr, then their Workspace could be an option. For some freelancers, being affiliated with Fiverr’s reputation of low budget jobs and of offering deals/gigs starting at $5 might be a turnoff. If you have more than one client you’ll need to subscribe to their $24/month plan which comes out to $216 annually and is comparatively on the higher end.
