  • You always approve before anything is billed

Per-person rates, project budgets, and live margin tracking. The 'fixed-fee project that ate your quarter' becomes a solved problem.

  • Budget burn alerts at 50 / 75 / 90 percent
  • Effective hourly rate by client, project, and person
  • Forecast remaining hours from the current burn

  • Weekly digest email — no dashboard babysitting

WHY KALSO EXISTS

Harvest tried to put me on a $1,900-a-month plan.

I used Harvest for years. When I went to add my third teammate, they quietly defaulted me onto the Unlimited plan — $1,900 a month on top of my seats. I caught it before they charged me.

So I switched to their “Flex” tier. Eleven dollars a seat, plus surcharges every time my team crossed an invisible line: $25 here for an extra task, $60 there for an eleventh project, $110 when invoicing tipped over $20K in a month. A three-person team paying $178 a month for a tool that hasn't shipped a real AI feature in 2026.

The same team on Kalso costs $21 a month. No tiers. No surcharges. No “Unlimited” trapdoor. Seven dollars a seat, locked in for life if you sign up as an early customer.

I built Kalso because I wanted Harvest to be Kalso.

Harvest is the more mature product — more integrations, more years in market, native mobile. But they defaulted me onto their $1,900-a-month Unlimited planwhen I added my third teammate, and even after I switched to their cheaper “Flex” tier I was paying $178/month for three people. The same team on Kalso costs $21. If your business is growing and you don't want to pay more every time you sign a new client, try kalso.
