From PLYNTUM’s first workspace
At Lost & Found, an 18-person creative agency in Tbilisi, hours and attendance are logged in the same PLYNTUM workspace as tasks and invoices, so every logged hour belongs to a task.
“PLYNTUM radically simplified prioritisation and time management. It is incredibly comfortable when every tool and every piece of information you need for the work is in one place.”
Disclosure: Lost & Found’s CEO, Nikoloz Norieli, is PLYNTUM’s founder, and the agency was PLYNTUM’s first workspace. This is not an independent review. Read the Lost & Found story

Where PLYNTUM fits better
- On monthly billing, Core for up to ten members is $150; Paymo Plus for ten users is $159 after its introductory period. Core includes at most ten members; exceeding capacity requires a higher plan.

What to confirm with Paymo
- The price after the introductory period, not only the first three months.
- Whether you need approvals and leave, which put you on Pro.
- The annual discount, which Paymo offers but does not publish as a total.
Before you switch
Paymo is a reasonable first tool. The comparison becomes interesting when the team passes five or six people and the per-seat total starts to matter more than the feature list.
