The Verdict
Everhour is built for project teams and agencies, with a focus on in-app-timer and project-budgeting. Paymo targets freelancers and small businesses and leads with time-tracking and project-management.
Pricing is close: Paymo starts at $5.9/mo versus $8.5/mo for Everhour — not a deciding factor on its own.
Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
Both tools are a solid fit for agencies — in those cases, the decision often comes down to workflow style and how your team prefers to organize work.
This is a genuinely close comparison. If you can, sign up for both free trials (where available) and run a one-week test with your actual team tasks before deciding.
