AgencyPro vs Paymo: Which Is Right for Your Agency?

Paymo is a project management tool with integrated time tracking, invoicing, Gantt charts, and resource scheduling—offering an affordable entry point for small teams needing basic project and billing workflows.

The core difference is focus: Paymo is a generic PM tool with billing bolted on, while AgencyPro is purpose-built for agencies with white-label client portals, CRM, retainer management, and team collaboration designed for client-facing work.

Small teams testing time tracking and invoicing for the first time may appreciate Paymo's low per-user starting price. But as your agency grows and needs client portals, white-labeling, retainer workflows, and unlimited users, AgencyPro provides the agency-specific features Paymo lacks.

Who Should Choose Paymo?

  • Small teams wanting an affordable entry point for project management with basic time tracking
  • Freelancers or micro-teams needing Gantt charts and resource scheduling at a low per-user cost
  • Teams that primarily need internal project tracking without client-facing portal requirements

Who Should Choose AgencyPro?

  • Agencies needing white-label client portals with custom domains and full branding control
  • Growing teams that want unlimited users with flat pricing instead of escalating per-seat costs
  • Client-facing agencies requiring integrated CRM, retainer management, and collaboration tools

Bottom line: if your agency bills clients, manages projects, and wants a branded client experience without juggling multiple subscriptions, AgencyPro is the more complete choice. If paymo already covers your needs and you don't require integrated billing or client portals, it remains a capable tool for its intended purpose.
