A side-by-side editorial comparison of Harvest and Tability — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Harvest vs Tability: at a glance
What is Harvest?
Harvest rebuilt its interface and split off a Premium tier for profitability
Harvest is mid-rollout of 'the new Harvest,' a full interface redesign paired with a paid Premium plan (profitability reporting, activity log, SAML SSO), task-level scheduling in Forecast, and reworked invoice sending. Its changelog reads as marketing-heavy blog posts and SEO articles rather than granular release notes, with several near-duplicate posts per release.
What is Tability?
Tability is handing OKR upkeep to agents, with the manager kept in the approval seat.
Tability shipped a single dated train on August 6 covering agent delegation, an AI spreadsheet importer, wider AI Mode context, and a Skills Library for Claude and ChatGPT. Underneath that sits the KPI module introduced in mid-July, which split business-as-usual metrics away from OKRs and gave them their own permissions, views, and import path. The product now has two tracked object types and is layering AI onto the labor of maintaining both.

◆ Current state
Harvest is mid-rollout of 'the new Harvest,' a full interface redesign paired with a paid Premium plan (profitability reporting, activity log, SAML SSO), task-level scheduling in Forecast, and reworked invoice sending. Its changelog reads as marketing-heavy blog posts and SEO articles rather than granular release notes, with several near-duplicate posts per release.
◆ Where it's heading
The redesign is the surface; the deeper move is upmarket. Profitability insights, SSO, and a Premium tier target agencies and larger teams that need margin visibility, not just time entry. Harvest is repositioning from a timesheet tool toward a project-profitability system, with invoicing and Forecast scheduling as supporting pieces.
◆ Prediction
Expect the new interface to finish rolling out to all accounts and more Premium-only reporting to follow the Profitability tier.
Tability
7.5PM
Tability is handing OKR upkeep to agents, with the manager kept in the approval seat.
◆ Current state
Tability shipped a single dated train on August 6 covering agent delegation, an AI spreadsheet importer, wider AI Mode context, and a Skills Library for Claude and ChatGPT. Underneath that sits the KPI module introduced in mid-July, which split business-as-usual metrics away from OKRs and gave them their own permissions, views, and import path. The product now has two tracked object types and is layering AI onto the labor of maintaining both.
◆ Where it's heading
Every recent addition attacks the same weakness in goal-tracking tools: the data goes stale because updating it is nobody's job. Tability's answer is to let agents do the gathering and drafting while routing proposals, decisions, access requests, and blockers back to a human before anything commits. The Skills Library and MCP integration point outward — the company appears content for the actual reasoning to happen in Claude or ChatGPT while Tability holds the structured record.
◆ Prediction
The delegation flow is the piece with room to run; expect agents to move from preparing work to posting check-ins and flagging at-risk goals on a schedule, with the KPI module as the data source. Whether the Skills Library grows or gets absorbed into the agent flow is the open question the entries do not settle.
