We have been working with Paymo for more than 5 years now and over the years we've seen constant improvement with new features. It's a rich feature tool for a low price and it suits our company as no other does, not only in what they offer but in an intuitive and easy-to-use tool. The timer, invoices using the timesheet, team scheduling, sending estimates, all those make the difference in our business and has help us to save and make money.
Pros
The timer is the best feature of Paymo. We search a lot but none of the other tools allows us to easy time our work and bill our clients as Paymo, with an always-visible timer. And the ability to bill our clients with the timesheet completes our process perfectly.
Cons
It's lacking a client portal, where they have all information about their project and invoices
Reasons for Switching to Paymo
The always-visible timer and invoicing with timesheet abilities.Response from Paymo
Time tracking FTW, Leticia - thank you :)
I think there's a misunderstanding. The current client portal allows clients to view their invoices. Just be sure to add them as contacts too: https://help.paymoapp.com/en/articles/900000-how-do-i-add-a-contact-to-a-client
They can't see the project progress, something that is going to be fixed with the next release of the client portal. That will grant guest users in-app access.
This is our #1 priority right now, so stay tuned!
Kind regards,
Marcel

I've increased my productivity with Paymo's Kanban board view, combined with Table view, and saved TONS of hours on admin, invoicing, timesheets, client and project management.
Just this time saving alone pays off the monthly subscription.
Sanity and nerves saving is the bonus! :)
Why? Because Paymo helped me maintain good client relationships, timesheet transparency and great records&data representation for a client. So when a client comes up with a random question about a specific task, Paymo's records make finding (and presenting) a specific information or record so much easier, transparent and more reliable.
Pros
Paymo has been a lifesaver in many business management areas: project management, client management, time tracking, accounting.
With built-in budgeting, time tracking, expense tracking, estimate calculations, professional invoicing and getting paid online (and on time!), different project 'views' (list, table, board for kanban, gantt), extensive filters, dashboard and insights, resource scheduling, live time reports, client portal - and all that in one app - it's a sanity saver!
One of the things I also personally quite appreciate is the professional and clean look of the invoices (and how easy it is for clients to pay them online). With a click of a button, you can add the unbilled time/fees for a specific time period and/or projects to an invoice. Paymo does all that heavy admin stuff for you and it has saved me a lot of time!
Cherry on the top: all invoice items are presented so neatly and professionally, so that my clients can see exactly everything I've worked on for them and what I'm billing them for, as well as how much time is tracked for each project and task.
And Payoneer, in addition to PayPal/Stripe/Authorize.Net payment gateways is a big plus!
It's brilliant.
The moment I first tried it, I could immediately feel that Paymo is the tool designed for actual freelancers in mind, whether you work on a project basis, or a pay-as-you-go basis.
It's not complex, and all the features it has are just *right*. Exactly what I need.
And it's getting even better!
Cons
I wish the app was just a little bit faster, but I read somewhere that they already have this improvement on their roadmap.
Still, if you ask me, it's totally worth the wait for every new feature and improvement their team is cooking for us :)
Response from Paymo
Thank you, Jelena <3
Speed improvements are already something that we're addressing. Stay tuned for more goodies such as a task calendar view, improved mobile app with team collaboration features and guest access.
Cheers,
Marcel

Can be very useful after you learn how to use it.

Pros
The Dashboard is customizable and expansive enough to help you keep track of the full picture easily. There are several tiers of user permissions and this comes in handy often when multiple people work together on the same project. While not the main program we use for this, the billing and invoicing features are really well developed. Especially when you consider that this isn't Paymo's main purpose.
Cons
I have only been using Paymo for a couple of months but have it very hard to properly log idle time and it can get frustrating. The program overall takes a lot of time to be properly studied and am far from that point.

overall sufficient experience. It does not create particular problems for you, nor does it give you particular satisfaction. to work in a group it's fine, as long as you don't have high customization requirements
Pros
Paymo's ease of use is disarming: it allows you to configure your project and your tasks in an instinctive, fast and reliable way
Cons
Working in Paymo I often feel the need to represent my projects in alternative ways, such as a mind map, or generally a graphic board .. but this is not possible in Paymo

overall my experience is awesome with this app I started to use it every hour of my day with it and track my projects and hours,
Pros
I like the design of your dashboard, good design makes me take a good journey with this app
every thing is easy to reach and customize it , adding tasks and projects are very easy to do
Cons
I have a problem with the free trial when I try to add someone to the project I have an error cause this person uses that same app if you people can fix it it will be awesome
and if you make a free version from it with only tasks, projects and time tracking it will be enough for most of the people like me cause I don't need the rest of all features right now
