This is one of the biggest gaps between the two platforms. Paymo does not offer any real monitoring or productivity insights, while WebWork delivers full visibility via screenshots, app usage, activity levels, work-life balance analytics, burnout alerts, and AI time categorization. This extensive advantage of WebWork makes it a great Paymo alternative as it offers not only what Paymo does but even more.
