Paymo - Efficient and Cost Effective!
Pros
I use Paymo mostly for time tracking and invoicing, but also for tracking expenses. Paymo makes it a breeze to track my time and then invoice my clients - with one click, all the time I've entered is populated in my invoice and I can even choose to include a summary of my time entry notes if needed. Their Support team is also super responsive and helpful when I've had questions.
Cons
Nothing! Very happy with this platform.

Profitability track with time tracking and project managment
Pros
Paymo excels as a comprehensive project management and time tracking tool especially for freelancers and agencies handling multiple clients and projects.
The user-friendly interface makes it easy to navigate thorugh the app, and learn how to use it in minutes. The best feature is the ability of granularly keeping track of the profitability of a project at task level.
The balance between simplicity and advanced functionality is well-maintained. The ability to assign tasks, monitor progress, and generate detailed invoices all within one platform saves significant time and effort. Additionally, the Gantt charts and Kanban boards provide great flexibility for visualizing project timelines and workflows.
Cons
The mobile app, while functional, feels slightly less polished compared to the desktop version, and certain features, like time tracking, can be a bit cumbersome to use on smaller screens.
The lack of subtask feature is a big issue for managing complex projects.
Additionally, while the reporting capabilities are good, they could benefit from more customization options to accommodate diverse business needs.

Very useful tool, but expect to pay for included features whether you need them or not
Always loved using the tool, and happy with how it met our needs. Nearly tripling the price to continue using it as we had for years prior was not acceptable to us.
Pros
Very reliable and easy to use time tracking and project management tool.
Cons
Greatly increased their pricing (nearly tripled) as features were added. And they limited how much historical data could be held in the system unless we signed on with the price increase. The additional features were not needed by us, so the ability to continue to use the tool and to have continued access to the data we had saved to it were held hostage to agreeing the price increase, even though the service we need did not include any of the new features.

Unveiling the Power of Paymo's Project Management Suite
Pros
Paymo offers a comprehensive suite of project management tools that have truly streamlined our workflow. What I like most about Paymo is its user-friendly interface, which makes it incredibly easy for our team to collaborate effectively. The time tracking feature is particularly helpful, allowing us to accurately monitor project progress and allocate resources efficiently. Overall, Paymo has significantly increased our productivity and organization, making it an indispensable tool for our business.
Cons
While Paymo offers a range of valuable features, there are a few areas where it could improve. While the existing templates are useful, having more flexibility to tailor them to our specific needs would be beneficial. Additionally, the mobile app interface could be more intuitive, as navigating certain features feels slightly clunky compared to the desktop version. Finally, while the customer support is generally responsive, there have been instances where resolution times could be quicker. Despite these minor drawbacks, Paymo remains a valuable tool for our team's project management needs.

Paymo is designed to meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses
My overall experience with Paymo is that it is a useful and comprehensive software for managing projects, time tracking, invoicing, and billing. It has many features that can help freelancers and small businesses to plan, execute, and deliver their work efficiently and accurately.
Pros
Paymo helps you automate your invoicing process by setting up recurring invoices, late payment reminders, and thank you notes.
Cons
It does not have a native mobile app, only a web app that is not very responsive on small screens.

Great platform for freelancers & agencies
Overall very satisified. I wish Paymo would offer more customization and more robust templates, or a clever AI assistant which analyzes my usage and makes suggestions to save me more time.
Pros
I like that Paymo can be used with different setups and requirements. As a freelancer, I can set up my clients, my projects and keep track of all of them. It's a critical app for me.
Cons
The mobile app needs more refinement. As i invite guests over to my project dashboard, I am currently unable to notify them whenever I post a comment. This has been unsresolved for a while so I barely use the app.
Reasons for Choosing Paymo
Trello is very easy to start out with, but it lacks collaboration features and time tracking. Collaboration is better when in the paid tier but that exceeds Paymo, since you have to pay for a seat for every client.Switched From

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.

It works for what we want with it
We use it for hour tracking, registration and invoices, and for that, it works well. We don't need a separate manual because the UI is self-explanatory, which is really nice.
Pros
- Ease of setting it up
- Ease of making new projects
- How flexible the time report options are
Cons
- Invoice generation is quite slow sometimes
- It's not easy to add time entries from multiple projects on 1 invoice
- It isn't easy to remind customers of outstanding invoices manually
- Sometimes the totals in the table views aren't correct due to lazy loading the results

Project management, social media management, estimate management - all with Paymo!
My main job is creating websites for my customers. I use Paymo to track projects, send offers etc. I also have an e-commerce site, and I use Paymo for marketing activities planning - like what end when to post and when to send e-mails.
Pros
Easy to set up, easy to continue using. a favorite feature is that I can make my project templates, offer templates etc. Customizable templates save me lot of time and makes my small company look professional. I like sync possibilities with Google calendar.
Cons
I would like to have labeling system fro task.

A good tool that gets the job done.
Not good, not bad. It does what it’s supposed to do with little fuss. Could be better for the price, but is adequate, and after 10 years of using it, it’s just comfortable.
Pros
Fairly straight forward interface, customer support is helpful, but with some delay.
Cons
Some bugs after app update that have not been worked out - new releases do not always work well with Safari - a bit costly for what it is - desktop app is severely outdated, very low resolution (blurry) on modern high resolution monitors - new desktop app needs to be developed - no ability to view, create or edit invoices, estimates, projects or client info in the IOS mobile app. The IOS mobile app is only useful for time keeping, which is pretty much useless.

Easy yet powerful project management software
We did a comprehensive review of project planning and management software available on the market for our needs as a small business consultancy and Paymo came up as the most comprehensive feature-set at a very reasonable price. In addition the firm and development team are European, very strong and responsive.
Pros
Easy to setup and use. We've developed models based on various project types and Paymo made its way into our daily routine.
Cons
The only feature missing for us as a small business consultancy is the ability to customize a viewing feature of a project plan and progress for various roles outside the delivery team. I'm confident though that the product team will build it.

Almost tailor made for my needs
Overly positive, I’ve been researching for a tool long and wide and tried 20+ options. This one was the closest to perfection for me.
Pros
The ease of tracking the work, employees time, billables and efforts.
Extremely well presented clients timesheets and work with shareable links.
Cons
There is space for improvement on tasks, and discussion tab feels like it can be upgraded with documentation and notes input options.
There is a bit of improvement for task workflows for my liking.

Paymo is my best friend
Paymo allows me to stay on track, plan my time and tasks accordingly to their importance and priority. My firm has been using it for several years and it's great tool.
Pros
It helps me to plan my day and schedule my tasks. it allows my to track time spent on different projects by my and my team and therefore to assign work to different team members more effectively.
Cons
That I cannot plan the tasks in real time (the calendar like feature) or that after assigning time to a certain task the day is not planned by Paymo.

Good, could be better.
It's fine, it's the best out of all the products we've tried. It's not quite nuanced enough to allow for the most customization.
Pros
Dragging and dropping time and slots into the weekly timesheet manager is very easy to use, color coded time slots are nice.
Cons
Many small functionalities with the task tracking lacks my needs. But requests to change those aspects have gone unanswered.

The best time tracking and project management tool
For me it was a game changer, once I started working with Paymo.
Today it's one of my most important business tools.
Pros
Using this excellent time tracking suite changed the way I manage my business.
It's been more than 10 years of understanding the big picture, charging the clients accordingly, having my own database of project durations and scope.
Cons
I wish I could customize more dashboard settings, though what's there is quite good

Very good time tracking app
Overall, I find Paymo Track to be very good at tracking time, and do not find that a lot of AI time trackers work as well.
Pros
I really like the Paymo Track time management tool which can sync with my desktop apps. The small widget allows me to track time while also having other work on the screen at the same time. Being able to have a way of tracking time which isn't on another browser tab is invaluable to me.
Cons
I find the way Paymo Track clumps together some of my tasks on the timeline view hard to use. I often have to switch tasks quite regularly due to the nature of my work so this makes it a bit harder sometimes for me to allocate my time to the appropriate client.

Efficient Software for Project Management
Pros
The interface of paymo is user-friendly and easy to operate. It allows you to monitor your budget time of the project specifically. On top of that, you can review your work efficiency with full time sheet record.
Cons
Sometime the website is abit lag. For example, the project/task is selected wrongly due to lag/delay problem on website. However, I am not sure if this due to script issue or office network issue.
Response from Paymo
Hi Quintus,
Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate it. If you're still having issues with the app, please try a differ network, for example a mobile hotspot and see if it still behaves the same. Also you can reach our support team to help you figure out why it's behaving like this.
