Paymo looks amazing, and the price point is crazy low. I can't believe I haven't heard of this before.

You don't use the time-tracking capabilities for software development though, do you? While I could see myself loving to use the tool on my own, being on a team that's required to account for every minute of time (assisted by friendly tracking software no less!) sounds horrible.

In fact we do, but more as a diagnosis tool to see how much it took us to complete a task and how to prioritize it in the future. We're not expected to account for every minute, that wouldn't be human (and productive) at all.
