The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Cloze four paid tiers run from $17 to $42 per user per month, and each withholds a different set of features rather than simply adding capacity; Paymo every advertised price rises after 3 months, with Plus going from $10.90 to $15.90 per user and Pro from $16.90 to $23.90
  • They diverge on capability: Cloze covers Contact management, Paymo covers Time tracking.
