Paymo

Project management built for agencies and consultancies.

Client-service teams that bill by the hour are Paymo's clearest audience — it pairs task management and Gantt-style scheduling with time tracking and invoicing built directly into the same product, so the work and the billing for that work don't live in separate systems. Reporting is designed with clients in mind, which matters for agencies that need to justify hours or share progress externally. Task and Gantt views give it enough structure for actual project planning, not just time capture, so it functions as a real PM tool rather than a timer with a task list attached.

For small and mid-size agencies, having project tracking and invoicing in a single subscription simplifies what would otherwise be two separate tools.

At a glance

Who's it for?

It's especially useful for client-service teams that bill by the hour and need time and money tracked alongside the work itself.

Strength

Its combination of time tracking, invoicing, and client-friendly reporting makes it attractive for agencies managing billable work.

Trade-off

It's a narrower fit for teams outside agency or client-billing contexts.

When to choose it

A strong option for agencies that want project tracking and invoicing in a single subscription.
