Transparent, Flat Pricing
The Feature Bloat of Paymo
Paymo suffers from the classic "jack of all trades, master of none" syndrome. By trying to be a full project management tool, an invoicing tool, and a time tracking tool all at once, the core experience suffers. If an engineer just wants to log 2 hours to a project, Paymo forces them to navigate through complex task hierarchies and cluttered screens. This friction causes delays in timesheet submissions.
Velotime: The Focused Paymo Alternative
Most agencies already use Jira, Asana, or Linear for project management. You don't need Paymo duplicating those features. Velotime is designed to do one thing perfectly: frictionless time tracking. By focusing exclusively on our spreadsheet-style matrix, we’ve created a tool that lets your team log their week in 10 seconds flat.
Pricing: Velotime vs Paymo
Paymo charges nearly $10 per user per month. Velotime charges a flat $5 per seat per month. Don't pay for project management features you don't need.
