Paymo shows four plans: Free, Solo, Plus and Pro. Free shows $0 / month, and Solo, Plus and Pro show a first-three-months offer with the figure that applies after 3 months beside it.
The moment that changes your Paymo plan is usually the day a second person needs to log in. Free and Solo are both one-user plans, so the step up for a team isn't Solo; it's Plus, and Plus is charged per user.
Paymo combines time tracking, task and project management, scheduling, and invoicing and estimates in one app. Here's what its pricing page shows on the monthly toggle as of Nov 2026.
What changes between the four Paymo plans
- Users: Free and Solo are limited to 1 user; adding users needs Plus or Pro, says the FAQ.
- Clients and projects: Free caps you at 1 client and 2 projects, Solo at 3 clients and 5 projects, and Plus and Pro are unlimited.
- Storage: 1 GB, 5 GB, 50 GB and 500 GB.
- Integrations and API access: from Plus.
- Scheduling and planning: employee scheduling and workload, Gantt views, timesheet approvals and leave management start at Pro, along with priority support.
Free includes unlimited time tracking, unlimited invoices, a task list view and the desktop and mobile apps. Solo adds flat rate and retainer projects, calendar and kanban task views, guest access and in-app tech support. Plus adds recurring tasks and invoices, timesheet reports, project templates, project profitability, proofing and versioning, and estimates and expenses.

| Plan | Price as shown | Billing basis | Main limit | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Plus | $10.9 / user / month shown, then $15.9 after 3 months (as of Nov 2026) | Per user per month (monthly toggle shown) | Unlimited users, clients and projects; 50 GB storage | Teams that need recurring invoices, estimates, expenses, project profitability and integrations |

The introductory figure most readers miss
The lower figure on the monthly toggle is a first-three-months offer, for new accounts created after 2026 Sep 25. The page shows the figure that applies after 3 months right beside it. On Plus, for example, that's $10.9 per user for the first three months, then $15.9 per user. On Solo it's $5.9, then $9.9, and on Pro $16.9, then $23.9.
The other thing that forces a change is headcount. Solo looks like the natural step up from Free, but it stays at 1 user. A second person means moving to Plus, which is charged per user, so the bill grows with the team from that point, and that's the step that's easy to underestimate.

Trial and annual billing
The page offers a 15-day free trial of the plan of your choice, with no credit card needed until it ends. It also says annual payment carries a discount of up to 40% depending on plan; the annual figures themselves aren't set out here, so you'll need to check the annual toggle on the live page.
Plain advice on the Paymo pricing page
Here's what the page shows. The tiers are separated by users first (1 on Free and Solo, unlimited and charged per user on Plus and Pro), then by client and project limits, storage, and features such as integrations from Plus and scheduling, Gantt views and approvals from Pro. The Solo, Plus and Pro figures on the monthly toggle are a first-three-months offer, with the after-3-months figure shown beside each, as of Nov 2026.
