AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that RescueTime excels in time tracking with a strong focus on productivity analytics, allowing users to see how they spend their time across various applications and websites. In contrast, Paymo is praised for its comprehensive project management features, including task creation and assignment, which users find essential for managing multiple projects effectively.
- Reviewers mention that Paymo's ease of use is a standout feature, particularly its intuitive interface for bill generation and digital billing, which users find straightforward. On the other hand, RescueTime's setup process is noted to be less user-friendly, with some users indicating that it requires a bit more time to configure effectively.
- G2 users highlight that Paymo offers superior support quality, with many reviewers appreciating the responsiveness and helpfulness of the support team. Conversely, RescueTime's support quality is seen as lacking, with users expressing frustration over slower response times and less effective solutions.
- Users on G2 report that Paymo's project monitoring capabilities, such as baselining and KPIs, provide valuable insights into project performance, which is crucial for small businesses. In contrast, RescueTime's focus is more on individual productivity rather than team project management, which may not meet the needs of users looking for comprehensive project oversight.
- Reviewers mention that Paymo's mobile time tracking feature is robust, allowing users to track time seamlessly on the go, which is essential for freelancers and remote teams. RescueTime, while offering mobile support, does not provide the same level of functionality for time tracking on mobile devices, leading to some user dissatisfaction.
- Users say that Paymo's integration capabilities with accounting software and payment systems are highly rated, making it easier for businesses to manage their finances. In contrast, RescueTime's integration options are more limited, which can hinder users who rely on multiple tools for their workflow.

The software should be more customisable and offer more features ie more specific/enhanced website/software time breakdowns.
