Buyer fit

Choose the fit for your team.

Consider Harvest Forecast

Choose Forecast when lightweight resource planning, particularly alongside Harvest, is the goal.

Consider Allocyn

Consider Allocyn when standalone resource planning should connect to wider project delivery, requests, budgets, reporting, and AI.

Decision criteria

Decide whether a lightweight schedule beside Harvest is sufficient.

Test Harvest Forecast around the narrow planning loop it emphasizes: place people on projects, inspect availability and utilization, and compare scheduled time with tracked time through Harvest. That combination may suit a team seeking a simple resource schedule. Allocyn should be evaluated when staffing must begin with project demand and continue through requests, capacity, execution, budget, reporting, permissions, and reviewable AI context.

Price Forecast and Harvest as distinct products wherever both are required. Count schedulers and scheduled people, exclude archived people and placeholders only according to the published rule, and compare annual with monthly billing. For Allocyn, use the corresponding active-member population and package. Add the cost and ownership of project execution, time approval, budget reconciliation, imports, exports, and any reporting step outside Forecast.

Scheduling simplicity

Ask the normal planner to schedule a small team, account for leave, and spot unused or overloaded capacity without additional configuration.

Harvest dependency

Trace planned-versus-tracked time and budget health through the Harvest connection. Identify which product owns each record and correction.

Separate subscriptions

Count schedulers and scheduled people for Forecast, then add Harvest and any other delivery system needed for the complete workflow.

Evaluate with real work

Reconcile one weekly schedule with tracked delivery time.

Choose two active projects, a small team, planned leave, a schedule change, and a week of tracked time. Compare planned capacity with what was recorded, investigate one material variance, and prepare the next staffing decision. Repeat the review in Allocyn with project work, requests, budget context, and permissions visible, then list the integrations and subscriptions each operating model retains.

  • ✓Include every scheduler and scheduled person.
  • ✓Test the Harvest connection with a real variance.
  • ✓Keep archived people and placeholders separately counted.
  • ✓Identify where project work and approvals are managed.
  • ✓Compare annual and monthly combined cost.
