Choose GigAnalytics if…

✅ You have 2–5 independent income streams (not one employer)
✅ You want to know which stream pays the best per hour
✅ You need Stripe/PayPal income data analyzed for ROI
✅ You run pricing experiments or want rate recommendations
✅ You're a solo freelancer optimizing income — not billing clients

Choose Harvest if…

✅ You have a team of contractors or employees tracking time
✅ You bill clients by the hour and need automated invoicing
✅ You need QuickBooks/Xero accounting integration
✅ Project budget management is your primary concern
✅ You work on agency-style projects with deliverable milestones

When does the overlap happen?

A consultant who bills clients via Harvest but also has a SaaS product, digital downloads, or other passive income will find Harvest insufficient for cross-stream ROI analysis. GigAnalytics handles the streams Harvest can't — products, platforms, and async income — while Harvest handles the invoicing side.
