Paymo is a great online service that easily tracks the time I spend on each project.
Nothing. I just really like the service. One thing that I would add as an optional option is screen shot progress. Maybe every 5 minutes while working on a project, the application could take a screen shot of the project progress. That would give customers that want to see how much time it takes to complete the project a great visual representation of my design process.
Before Paymo, we used to track our projects manually and it was not as accurate and customers had to believe that is how much time the project took to complete. Now, I can easily go on my Paymo account and show them my online timesheet.
adding clients and projects and entering time provide data I need to easily create an invoice
suggest feature to allow snapshot of work in progress for client
I practiced law in large firm with time and billing software and this gives me same capability as solo practicitioner
It's got all the things I need - time tracking, invoicing, reports and project management - for my small business. I find it easy to use and it doesn't cost much.
I wish there was an automatic time tracker for Linux.
We use Paymo to keep track of project tasks and invoicing. We get a better record of how time is spent, and we spend less time on invoicing.
I've tried at least five different time tracking apps and I've found Paymo to be the most effective for me. I use it to keep track of my billable hours as well as other daily activities. It has always been stable. At the current pricing it is a real bargain. Support is great.
I'm having difficulty thinking of something I dislike about the app.
It has helped me track my billable hours and organize invoicing.
I love it even from its beta version! The fact that you can track multiple projects and clients, and the well-designed interface that lets you focus on just what you are doing at that time. If you are on a tight budget to spend on administration and accounting for your business, then this tool offers a great help for start-ups. I use it also to track my total hours annually, as the revenue services in my country requires this information. The team is also very friendly and this gives Paymo a personal human touch.
I would like to suggest to raise the minimum of the free project to 5 instead of 3.
projects, project activities and clients are part of what I need to track. I also use it sometimes to plan my day if it is very busy. It is easy to give myself time slots to finish certain tasks. Also my annual report on projects and time.
The Windows widget and its syncing with the site.
The widget GUI, while good, could be better. Switching between tasks, for instance, could not require both a project and an activity selection, at least for the most frequently used.
I bill hourly, so that should be obvious.
This is the only solution I could find that let's me dig deep into my project and clearly label the client, project and project tasks. This helps immensely when providing future estimates.
Nothing! I think this is a great product.
I use Paymo to track my time and provide estimates for future projects. It's easy to use and very reliable! It's the only solution I've used since I started freelancing in 2012.
We have a small staff working remotely and paymo enables us to keep very specific record of time spent on each project. It has all the features than we need and more. Time can be recorded either in browser or with the desktop app. Reporting can be daily, weekly, monthly, as you prefer.
Can't think of anything but I've got to have 40 characters so here you are.
Keeping track of project times with staff working remotely.
The ability to record all of my tasks, computer related or otherwise through my laptop, tablet or phone and then accurately bill my clients either through Paymo's invoice and billing interface or our integrated accounting software.
Because for some clients I have to bill in a separate accounting tool, to 'bulk' flag tasks as billed.
Tracking our time is essential for accurate client billing and reporting. Clients like to see evidence of activity when one is billing on a time and materials basis.
The time tracking options are great. I can either set a timer when I sit down to do client work, or I can update the timesheet manually. It's super easy to create and track invoices too!
My only complaint is when I used up all the free project and invoices and would need to upgrade -- which took awhile, so this isn't even really a complaint.
Paymo is great for tracking time on multiple freelance projects. It's also really helped me keep my invoices tracked and organized.
I've used Paymo for over 4 years and I really appreciate the attention to detail and constant improvements they make. Notes, invoices and the way projects are setup is all so easy. Managing team projects is a breeze.
I would like to be able to automatically create an invoice from an estimate. Once an estimate is approved then I'd like a one click to convert to estimate and send to customer for a down payment.
Web design and software industry so I'm designing and building online applications for other businesses. My time tracking is essential to my income and Paymo helps me keep track of all the details.
Paymo helps make sure my estimates and billing are based on actual use of time. I love being able to pull reports for clients with online links so they can see the detail.
I would love to see Paymo send me reminders every hour when it's not tracking, because usually I've forgotten to track my work.
I feel more confident in my estimates and my pricing because I know I am tracking my time and billing with solid backup of how I spend the time.
Ease of use. Simple and scalable. It's perfect for my small business.
I would REALLY like to be able to print a client list.
Invoicing and record keeping
It's easy to record my time against specific tasks on my project and generate time reports and invoices to send to my client.
I can't think of anything I dislike. There have been so many new features that have improved on what has always been an easy to use product.
I'm an independent web application developer. Paymo has made it easy for me to prepare time reports and invoices for my customer
I like the flexibilty Paymo allows me, as a small business, to follow my time allocation when planning and pricing new projects. I can debrief my performance and adjust for new clients. The GUI is clear and nice, and easy managed.
The fact that I cannot track mileage - some of my clients reimburse milage, and I cannot track the amount, my work-around is to add a comment for the amount.
Accurate time reports, time planning, currect pricing and the ability to grow over-time, as I can look back and see my time planning and my time actuals/
Time tracking in calendar view. Amazing rates levels management (general / company, project, task), I do love it.
No team records approval. (bla, bla, bla to cover min 40 characters ;p)
Time tracking for customers
Great user interface and very easy to use.
Not too much, I use it for my personal use, not as part of a team, so I'm sure there is more I can delve into.
Time and project management. I've realized it's great to have an amazing timetracker software. Helps me organize and stay on track.
I am a consultant / technologist and almost all of my billing, and that of my employees & associates, is calculated by the hour. For many years, we used a manually-tracked method that was highly unreliable and inconvenient to use, and I estimated that we lost approximately 10%-15% of billable time due to poor record-keeping. I began using Paymo in 2010 and have relied on it ever since. One of the best features is the ability to track my projects in detail using the task breakdowns and the detailed reporting that becomes available as a result. By using this consistently for the past several years on a variety of projects, it has allowed me to become far more accurate at estimating what a new project will entail, and which parts of the project will require more attention.
I have some confusion with regard to managing the display of the dashboard information, but this is a minor issue and is likely to be resolved with a little research into the tutorials.
I've been able to resolve my primary issue, which was putting a great deal of work into projects which was then not billed for. I'm now very clear on the status of my projects all the way through, and that allows me to make adjustments to ensure that I remain within budget while still being adequately compensated for my work.
I've been using Paymo for many years and I find that it is excellent at easily keeping track of client hours used and preparing reports of those hours to share with the client. We need a thin and light tool to manage a variety of clients and this tool does that extremely well. I am able to share the project status live, or kick out a PDF, which is perfect.
The only thing that I don't like is due to the fact that I have contracts that are essentially the same, and each month just need the date of service changed, I'd love a way to copy a project and go in and minimally edit the DOS.
The main business problem is, how to track a variety of workers across several projects and stay on top of their hours and report them to my clients. The benefit of Paymo is that it does exactly that, and is a reliable way to load-balance who is doing what by a quick look at the dashbord.
I like that Paymo has a timer button on my desktop menu bar (mac) that lets me track time without going to the website. Their iphone app also works well, although I don't find myself using it often just because all the work I do is on the computer anyway, so I use that.
I don't actually have any complaints about the software.
I'm a freelance writer. It allows me to track all my time very accurately and easily.
