Harvest users leave after Bending Spoons buyout brings 10x price rise and LLM support
What happened
A freelancer writing on Hacker News says Harvest raised their monthly bill from $13.32 to $133.98 after Bending Spoons acquired the time-tracking and invoicing tool, moving all users to a new "enterprise" plan. A $12.65 "flex" plan exists but adds 2% on top of roughly 3% card fees. After writing in, the author found support replies came from a large language model and says support no longer reads customer email, so they are switching invoicing software.

自由职业者作者称 Harvest 被 Bending Spoons 收购后，月费从 $13.32 涨到 $133.98，全员被迁至新的“enterprise”套餐；另有 $12.65/月的“flex”套餐，但在约 3% 信用卡手续费之外再加收 2%。作者写信反馈后发现客服已改由大语言模型回复，不再阅读客户邮件，因此决定另寻开票软件。
