Paymo

Project Management Freemium

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.
