User Testimonials
	Google Tasks	Paymo
Likelihood to Recommend	Great to take quick notes during meetings. Along with being a good planner app, it offers a clean list of tasks from bottom left which looks great. It is also useful when using Google Calendar. I am a list person so I rely on this app. It is quick and easy to use and I never have to worry about losing a paper list. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Well suited: tracking time, making notes to share with clients, live reporting. Less so: tracking and bookkeeping - they don't market it as a bookkeeping app, though they do allow for invoicing through it. Still, my needs are such that I use a separate app for tracking receipts against a project and then invoicing clients. Incentivized Daniel Summers Jr Head Cat Read full review
Pros	The best part, Google Tasks is FREE. No paywall, no ads. Just pure productivity. I was looking for some task-management app which is free, since it was difficult to get a paid one. I found that this was the perfect solution for me. It's deeply integrated with other Google services like Gmail and Calendar. It can pick tasks with Gmail from emails, in the form of suggestions. It's up to you, completely. The tasks will appear in your calendar automatically, if it's time or date specific. It's simple and hassle free to insert tasks and complete them. The app loads fast and hardly faces any crash. I encountered no such crashes. It is present in multiple platforms. I would create a task in my phone, and would check it off on my laptop. It's hassle free to add and check off tasks. It was very helpful for me in college. BD Bigneshwar Das Student Read full review	Time tracking. As long as you set up everything correctly on the front end, you don't have to think about it again and it will run in the background. Job management. Organizes jobs intuitively and can easily archive jobs. Support. If you ever have an issue or questions, they have a chat feature and will usually respond in a couple hours.

Cons	Limited in scope and customization Not really a great stand-alone app for use with ioS so lack of integration with iphone makes it clunky and not very often used when not as desktop Support and helpdesk very limited like many of Google products Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	The main area for improvement is exportability of data. It's tough to get full data out of Paymo. You can export most things in CSV format, but if you were to start with Paymo and want to switch to another project management and accounting platform, there would be substantial manual effort involved. There also aren't as many integrations for Paymo as some of the more mainstream project management suites. This isn't necessarily Paymo's fault. It's just a function of them still being one of the "little guys." Something to be aware of before you select this platform though. Incentivized Jillyn Dillon Principal Read full review
Usability	Google is simple to use and easy to understand. Having a one-click to add tasks via Google Calendar is a must for any busy business that manages multiple accounts and/or projects. Compliance and business standards are at the forefront, with notification reminders so you don't forget any of those annual certifications, for example. Incentivized Shannen Sorenson Insurance Broker Read full review	It is a complete, a bit overambitious app but with many features that are needed. I didn't need most of the features but managed to make the most of the two I was using. Also, I think it is a well-rounded app and I am considering moving some team collab there. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Since the app is free, we can't expect to get a great support. 1. The app does not even have a dedicated forum where other members can help each other. 2. The app only has a feedback option, which I rarely think visits the team. 3. Even after sending many feedbacks, you can't expect a reply. 4. In a nutshell, if you face any problem, you can just wait. Nothing more than that. BD Bigneshwar Das Student Read full review	Good! Fast, excellent, speedy responses. They always wanted to know why and how they could improve on something (good on receiving feedback, too). Not that they were much needed, but my limited experience with them is good; they were really keen to understand what the problem was really about and how they could help with it.

Alternatives Considered	We switched from Google Tasks to Todoist as we like the layout and the functions more, even though we still use all the other Google programs. Nothing particularly bad but we enjoy Todoist more for our purposes. Google Tasks is even more simple to use than Todoist and has different layout options. Incentivized AK Ann Korb Read full review	Similar in almost all project management aspects... Paymo seems to have a slight edge in invoicing and reporting. They are also adding new features regularly so that (in our opinion) makes the investment worth it. Customer support has also been terrific.

Return on Investment	It has made me more productive. Now, I can complete twice the [amount of] tasks I used to do when I was not a user of this app. I remember much more about smaller tasks lying around than before. Smaller tasks may have a larger impact, so they can't be neglected. It has a great impact on my mood as well. Now, I feel 50% more happy and motivated at the end of the day, looking at my completed to-do list. The app pays off in the long run. It's definitely has a very high ROI score, based upon my experience.
