How they differ
One bundle or a ledger you keep. Kit sells its team, its platform, payroll, HR, and banking together, priced per location. Harmony works in QuickBooks Online and MarginEdge, which you can keep if you change firms.
Weekly vs monthly commitment. Kit puts its promise on the weekly P&L. Harmony puts its promise on the monthly close (10 days) and adds weekly cash flow, weekly bank and card reconciliations, and daily sales reconciliations.
Price. Kit is priced per location, so cost grows with each unit. Harmony quotes after a call.
