About Paymo
Paymo is a work and project management software for small teams of up to 20 people. This solution supports remote work and offers project planning, resource scheduling, team collaboration, file proofing, time tracking, and project invoicing within a single suite.
Its project management features enable you to create projects, add tasks with multiple assignees, and save them as a template for later use. Then, you can monitor the project progress (time tracked vs. initial budgets) and manage work through one of the four different task views: List, Table, Board, Calendar, and Gantt Chart.
Paymo also has a built-in timer, desktop and mobile apps, and accurate timesheets that provide a window into your productivity. Data can be exported later as time reports and shared with your clients for extra transparency.
The project accounting functionality to track expenses, create automated client invoices, transform proposals into projects, and get paid online will serve you well in keeping your financials close and making sure you get paid on time.
Paymo offers three paid plans and a free plan as well.

Paymo represents agility in the execution of projects and quality assurance.
Paymo is an effective platform, which does not require a learning curve on the part of the people who use it, in addition to the fact that many business rules associated with the execution of projects are already implemented. On the other hand, we have visibility for the prioritization of tasks, the notification to the participants of each activity, and in general, Paymo can grow based on the needs and projects that our organization can handle.
Pros
Paymo focuses on providing a simple and efficient platform, with the implementation of those functionalities that really generate value, in addition to offering a fairly complete Dashboard for generating reports and useful information for stakeholders. With Paymo we keep our work team focused, in addition to having the mobile APP to be able to record progress directly from where we are, in real time, and notify about progress. People and users can work on more than one project at the same time and each of them knows the tasks they must perform, the times in which they want the activities to be completed, as well as being able to attach support information.With Poymo we can register with the Timer option the work dedicated to each activity and in this way we can give greater visibility to the Project Management.
Cons
Paymo has demonstrated that it meets the objectives of any project, and they are precisely: being able to offer visibility for the fulfillment of each and every one of the tasks, also guarantees that team members have delivery dates at hand and can report the advances, considering the participation of multiple projects, however, it may be that for more complex projects in which team management, use of tools and acquisition of supplies for execution are required, project managers require other complementary tools such as sheets calculation to manage what we cannot detail from the software itself, however this does not apply to all projects and may or may not be a limitation in many service areas related to traditional activity tracking.

Excellent task- and time tracking software for small agencies
Pros
Task management and time tracking is baked into ONE system so you pay once, not for two different systems. Easy to use like Asana, but packed with more functionality, like Clickup – but much better than either.
Cons
Paymo can’t (yet) set a price per word for invoicing articles, and due to legal requirements in the UK, I have to export invoices to Quickbooks and send them from there rather than directly from Paymo.
Alternatives Considered
ClickUpReasons for Choosing Paymo
Limited functionality of Asana, bugs and issues with Clockify.Reasons for Switching to Paymo
Can’t remember all options, but we looked at everything we could find. Paymo had all the functionality in one system and was reasonably priced for a small business.

Monopolize you cause you can't export ANYTHING easily
Would NOT recommend it to anyone who has even the slightest of "outside the box" process for projects or billing/invoices.
Pros
Yet another system that after several months of use only did what we needed it too at 75% of the way, then AFTER buying into the "huge discount" and special they had going, did I find out they do not allow refunds at all!
If you put ANY data into the system and ever need to export it for any reasons ...find a data entry person and hope you didn't enter a lot of information because unless you are a developer that can setup custom API's...your info is stuck in their system!
You can enter clients, companies, etc. and change view to "Table" and see it in table mode, but that view still only gives you the general company information, NOT the contacts for that company and that is 1 of 2, yes that is right 2 places in the entire system of everything you may have entered where you can download/export that view into Excel/CSV file....everything else is PDF if you are lucky!!
If you are a VERY small, VERY basic bookkeeping/accounting freelancer (NO TEAM, just you and very basic billing) - fine, it may work...but if you have more than 1 person in your team other than you, have different rates or even the SLIGHTEST out of the norm billing or cycles...GOOD LUCK!!!
I am furious with this system after being told what it could do and I explained in detail, and "oh yeah, that is not a problem at all"...only to find out, everything I explained about what we needed, went in one ear and out the other just to make the sale...now I have a barely usable system and wasted $$$$!!
Cons
Can't export anything unless you have a developer standing bye.
System is very "inside the box" thinking even after being told it would easily do what I had explained that I needed it to do
support seems to take longer than usual and they are quick to respond with an answer that has NOTHING to do with what you originally asked (bots maybe?!?!)
Can't get a refund, no matter how many lies they told you to make the sale in the first place!!!
Response from Paymo
Hi Cameron,
Sorry to see you disappointed. Our goal is to help you improve the way you work, not to sell you on something.
Indeed, you can export client, project, user lists, as well as time reports in csv format - invoices and Gantt Charts are available in PDF only.
However, due to the fact that there's no standardised data structure for project management data, the only practical way to export it is via our API.
And no, we're no bots, and don't force anyones hand to make a sale.

I found Paymo and never looked back
I love it! I recommend this to those who are looking for easy to manage and straightforward platform for time, project, and task management and invoicing.
Pros
I love the ease of use and how the features suit all my needs (tasks management, time tracking, invoicing, project management, time reports).
It’s super user-friendly and pretty straightforward.
Cons
Top of mind room for improvement would be the Time Reports view. I hope when I archive reports, it won’t appear on the sidebar anymore. It just seems to cluttered seeing everything there.
What I’m doing is filtering but I hope there’s a fixed solution there.
