Pros
| Competitor | Pros of Paymo |
|---|---|
| Wrike | Paymo puts time tracking, invoicing and Gantt views in one subscription: Pro costs $23.90 per user a month, or $16.90 if billed annually. Wrike’s Business tier is $25 per user a month and still needs a separate tool to raise an invoice, with add-ons like Wrike Integrate charged on top. Paymo’s Free plan covers a single user with unlimited time entries and unlimited invoices. |
| Monday.com | Paymo bills clients straight from tracked hours, with recurring invoices, estimates and expenses arriving at the Plus tier at $15.90 per user a month. monday.com’s Standard seats are $12 and Pro $19 a month billed annually, and neither issues an invoice. Paymo also runs a 15-day trial with no credit card and no feature restrictions. |
| Teamwork.com | Paymo links time entries, project profitability and invoicing to the same record, so a job’s cost and its bill come from one place. Teamwork.com’s Accelerate plan is $24.99 per user a month billed yearly and its billing depth is thinner. Paymo’s Pro tier adds employee scheduling, workload views, timesheet approvals and leave management on top of that billing link. |
| Harvest | Paymo carries real project management alongside time tracking: Kanban, spreadsheet and Gantt views, task dependencies, and file proofing with versioning. Harvest’s Teams plan is $11 per seat a month with Enterprise at $17.50, and it stays focused on time and invoices. Paymo’s storage also scales from 1 GB on Free to 500 GB on Pro, which matters for teams keeping proofs and attachments in the tool. |
Cons
| Competitor | Cons of Paymo |
|---|---|
| Wrike | Wrike offers deeper workflow automation and resource management, with paid add-ons such as Wrike Integrate for no-code automations. Paymo’s automation is lighter, and unlimited users only arrive at the Plus tier, so both Free and Solo are capped at a single seat. |
| Monday.com | monday.com’s board and dashboard templates make setup visual and fast, and its free tier allows two seats against Paymo’s one. Paymo’s mobile app is also the standing complaint on G2, where reviewers say it has “very few limited options” compared with the desktop version. |
| Teamwork.com | Teamwork.com is stronger on client operations, agency workflows and reporting for larger teams. Paymo reviewers on G2 also say its pricing “comes at a higher end”, which makes it harder for a small boutique to justify against a cheaper project tool. |
| Harvest | Harvest is simpler if all you need is time and invoices, and its free tier plus a 30-day trial make trialling cheap. Paymo also cannot set a price per word for invoicing, and a UK reviewer on Capterra has to export invoices to QuickBooks and send them from there because of local requirements. |
Reviews
- connecteam.com Review: The project module covers Kanban and Gantt views and handles both simple and complex workflows well. Time tracking performed accurately in testing, and desktop rules sync activities to projects automatically, though only in the desktop apps. In-task chats with @mentions and mobile expense uploads with receipt attachments add convenience, but costs climb for larger teams and there is no dedicated team communication module.
- G2 Review (Rating: 4.6/5 from 594 reviews): Seventy-four per cent of reviewers give five stars and 22% four. Users like tracking assigned tasks and progress without extra tools, and one says uploading tasks “either by name or by the time you did a task” is straightforward. The dislikes are consistent: one reviewer says “the pricing of Paymo comes at a higher end, making it somewhat difficult for small boutiques business to take advantage of,” another that the mobile app “has very few limited options available as that of the desktop version,” and a third that “it doesn’t have a ‘travel mode’” for logging commute time when the laptop closes.
- Capterra Review (Rating: 4.7/5 from 686 reviews): Ease of use scores 4.6 and customer service 4.7. One reviewer writes that “task management and time tracking is baked into ONE system so you pay once, not for two different systems,” calling it “easy to use like Asana, but packed with more functionality.” The same reviewer notes two limits: 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.”
- Software Advice Review (Rating: 4.7/5 from 686 reviews): The breakdown runs 497 five-star, 166 four-star, 21 three-star and two two-star ratings. Reviewers say precise time tracking produces accurate invoices based on hours per task, and that collaboration tools keep communication smooth with clients and teammates. Some report bugs after app updates that take time to resolve.
- infotech.com Review: Teams value an all-in-one setup blending task management, time tracking, resource planning and billing, and the write-up credits Paymo with clear pricing aimed at small enterprises and independent contractors. One reviewer titles their submission “the perfect tool to raise the level of tracking” and scores likeliness to recommend at 10 out of 10. Limited customisation for advanced workflows and fewer specialised integrations restrict larger or highly specialised organisations.
