Harvest hikes bills by 1500% after purchased by Bending Spoons

Harvest, owned by Italy’s Bending Spoons, moved legacy users to a usage-based pricing structure that can lift monthly costs from $130 to $2,110—a 1500% rise—by billing for active projects, clients, tasks and invoiced revenue. Users on plans dating to 2011 received only a 30-day renewal notice, sparking criticism over transparency and perceived monetization.
