Frequently asked questions

Is Harvest cheaper than Hnry?

Harvest starts at AU$14/user/mo; Hnry starts at 1% of income (capped at AU$1,500/yr). Harvest offers 30-day trial only. Hnry has no genuine free plan.

Does Harvest handle Australian GST and ABN better than Hnry?

For ATO-compliant GST: Harvest = limited, Hnry = yes. For native ABN field: Harvest = limited, Hnry = yes. If you operate in Australia and either tool falls short here, InvoiceSonic handles both natively — and it's free.

Which is better for freelancers — Harvest or Hnry?

Most freelancers want fast invoicing without paying for full accounting. Between these two, Hnry wins more categories overall. But if you're a freelancer who just wants ATO-compliant tax invoices for free, InvoiceSonic is purpose-built for that workflow.

Can I switch from Harvest to Hnry easily?

Do not assume a one-click migration. Confirm each product's current export and import formats, then test contacts, opening balances, unpaid invoices, tax codes, attachments and reconciliations before cancelling the old account. Keep statutory records outside both systems.

Should I use Harvest or Hnry for invoicing only?

Both tools include more than invoicing. If invoicing is your only need, a dedicated generator can be faster and more focused than a full accounting subscription.

Is there a free alternative to both Harvest and Hnry?

Yes — InvoiceSonic lets you create and download an invoice without signup. Its account plans have separate limits and pricing, so compare current official plans before deciding.
