Paymo review

Paymo is a project management app where time tracking is a core feature rather than an add-on, which suits small agencies that do not want separate tools for tasks, hours and invoices. The free plan is limited to one user but includes unlimited time tracking and invoices for one client and two projects. Solo costs $9.9 per month after an introductory $5.9 for three months, still for one user, and adds flat rate and retainer projects, calendar and kanban views and guest access. Teams need Plus, listed at $15.9 per user per month after the intro period, which adds active timers, bulk time entries, timesheet reports, project templates, project profitability, recurring invoices, estimates and expenses, and API access. Pro at $23.9 adds Gantt charts, timesheet approvals, employee scheduling and workload, and leave management. The price per seat is higher than pure trackers, but it replaces a project tool and an invoicing tool too.
