Where Tideoo shines
Priced for freelancers, not per seat
One flat subscription covers the whole business — Pro is $12/mo ($10 annual) and Agency covers up to 10 members for $29/mo. No seat counts to manage, no usage-based charges to keep an eye on.
Payment day, handled
Clients report their payment — bank transfer, crypto, PayPal — right from the invoice link, with proof attached. You confirm with one click, and every step is auditable.
Client credit for retainers
Prepayments, retainers and overpayments become a credit balance you can apply to future invoices — partially or in full — with a ledger entry for every movement.
Calm by design
No configuration project before your first invoice. Add a client, start a timer, send the invoice — in minutes. The interface stays out of the way so you can get back to work.
Pricing, side by side
One flat price, whatever your month looks like
Tideoo is priced per business — not per person — so your bill never multiplies with your team, your clients or your invoices.

Common questions
For freelancers, consultants and small studios, yes — you get the same core loop of time tracking, expenses and invoicing, plus built-in payment confirmation, client conversations and client credit, at a flat price for the whole business. Larger teams that depend on Harvest's 50+ integrations may prefer to keep it.
Tideoo charges the business, not each person. Pro is $12/mo ($10/mo billed annually) and Agency is $29/mo for up to 10 members — with no per-seat fees and no usage charges as your clients, projects and invoices grow. There is also a free plan for your first 3 clients.
Yes. Add your clients and projects, set up your invoice details once, and you can send your first Tideoo invoice the same afternoon. Harvest exports time and expense reports, so your history stays yours.
