Paymo

Paymo combines project management with billing and time tracking in one affordable platform, making it ideal for small teams and freelancers who need to track both work and money. It offers visual Kanban boards for workflows, timesheets for hourly tracking, built-in invoicing that pulls directly from project time and tasks, and profitability dashboards so you know which projects are actually profitable. The focus is on simplicity and value rather than enterprise features or deep customization.

Paymo is a good fit for agencies, small software shops, and service-based teams that bill hourly or by project. If your biggest pain point is tracking time to projects and turning that into invoices, Paymo handles that workflow tightly without forcing you to learn a complex system. It won't match Jira's customization power or Kantata's resource planning depth, but it offers solid Kanban boards and time tracking at a price point that makes sense for ten people or fewer.
