Pricing entry tiers: GitHub by Git-Zen at Free 7-day trial, Harvest at Free to install. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.
Harvest has the larger user base (439 reviews vs 5), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. GitHub by Git-Zen's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
