Harvest and Square, you see, are two entirely different species of the business tool kingdom—sort of like comparing a diligent time-tracking squirrel to a multifaceted payments octopus. Harvest, for one, is the squirrel, meticulously scurrying about, gathering every minute of your team's work time and stashing it neatly in invoices. It ensures that no second is wasted or unbilled and even collaborates with the neighborhood project management systems to produce dazzling reports, just in case you’re ever curious about where all those hours scampered off to.

Now, Square, on the other hand, is more akin to that octopus who’s exceptionally good at multi-tasking with its many tentacles. One tentacle is for swiping credit cards with the grace of a ballet dancer, another is for accepting payments in a store or even through the mystical space of the internet. Yet another is for tapping out payroll, managing inventory and even handling a bit of CRM—basically everything short of making you a cup of tea (though give it time, it might get there). It’s less about chasing time and more about making sure every business transaction glides smoothly, like a perfectly timed cup of tea served just when you need it.
