WHY PAYMO IS DIFFERENT

Get more for less — and never guess your bill

Harvest switched to usage-based pricing. Paymo charges one flat rate per seat, no matter how many projects you run or invoices you send.

Predictable, flat pricing

One flat price per user per month. Your bill doesn't grow with your project count or invoice volume. Know exactly what you'll pay.

Full project management built in

Harvest tracks time. Paymo manages entire projects, tasks, Kanban boards, Gantt charts, and milestones, all connected to billing.

Native invoicing from tracked time

Turn time entries into professional invoices in one click. Add expenses, send estimates, and accept online payments, without extra tools.

Real profitability, not just hours

Know if you're actually making money on each project, not just hours logged. Track budgets, costs, and margins accurately.

Team scheduling & leave planner

See who's available, overbooked, or on leave. Plan resources for the weeks ahead without switching to a separate, paid tool.

Real humans in support

Chat with our team directly from the app, not a ticketing maze. Our customer success reps also deliver tailored onboarding sessions for teams.

What clients say

"Paymo seems like it has all the best features of Asana, Trello, and our old Harvest setup, but bridges every shortcoming of those. One tool to run our whole business."

"Paymo allows our small business to focus on our business, not our paperwork. Tracking time, creating estimates, and invoices is simple. We use it every day."

"The team is more focused. I estimate a 25–30% increase in productivity and, more importantly, a significant decrease in overall stress levels. The all-in-one approach just works."
