Just starting out? Haven't you been 'just starting' for 3 years? And having 'flexible' (see inconsistent) pricing for different clients is such an issue and real devalues what you do while also muddles the message to new clients and referrals about what you charge. Breaking this cycle when you get more successful is a monumental task.
More on topic, regarding Harvest, setting pricing in your preferences for a task is optional, not required. You can set a rate with every invoice creation. Secondly, if you only have 2 clients/projects, Harvest is free. Again per your comments/questions, Harvest will let your clients pay online by integrating with a paypal account, but it will not allow clients to update tasks. That is really outside what most of these do. That's more of a Request Tracker/ticketing system. I think Freshbooks may have an add-on for that, but not sure of cost of quality.
