Pistacio vs. Harvest: a Harvest alternative for the whole back office
Harvest is a proven, tidy tool for time tracking, expenses and invoicing — and for exactly that scope, it is a fair choice. Pistacio covers the same time-and-billing foundation and adds what a German team's day actually includes: leave and absence, travel expenses, ArbZG-conform records, compliant eInvoicing (ZUGFeRD / XRechnung) and a DATEV export for your tax advisor. If you need only time and invoices, Harvest fits; if you want the whole back office in one workspace, Pistacio is the broader answer.
