Paymo describes itself as "The go-to platform for independent professionals and small teams to manage client work, track billable hours, send invoices, and stay profitable." Its home page says "With Paymo, you can track time from your browser, desktop computer, phone, or tablet," and its task management page lists "Simple, Table, Kanban Board, Calendar, or Gantt Chart views." For billing, Paymo says you can "Turn timesheet data into an invoice and make adjustments manually in just a few clicks." Its pricing page lists a Free plan and paid plans; see Paymo's pricing page for current prices.
In the overview table, a check or a cross appears only where a vendor's own pages state it. A dash means this page doesn't mark that column for the tool; see its pricing and details below.
