SetPay is a very simple utility to manage recurring online payments.

Pros: SetPay Bill Manager utility helps manage on line payments. Keeping track of payments, particularly those of a recurring due date is a problem. One tends to forget such dates and then payments get missed. One way to avoid such problems is to have a complete table of such payment with all relevant details displayed whenever required. Relevant details would be the amount due, what card might have been used for payment, type of payment-single or recurring and the website at which payment is to be made. Having all these details readily available is a big help in not forgetting a due payment.

The users interface is a spreadsheet like table where the payment details can be added by a add a record button. When clicked on it brings up a form with fields for the required details. There’s a calendar to help with setting a date. Removing a record also is as easy through remove a record button.

Cons: Biggest issue is this program does not have a reminder/alert associated with the payment dates. Without these alerts the listing or the schedules is meaningless as, for various reasons one can forget to even look at the schedule and then one would miss a payment.

Second problem is you cannot set recurrence schedule. One cannot just say that the payment repeats every month or every year or whatever there can only be a note saying this is a recurring payment type.

Overall it is really just a table maintenance program. Without reminders facility having these details in front of you is not much help.

Easy Time Logs is a time tracking, timesheet, and project management software product. It offers a web-based interface with timesheets and a variety of other features and reports.

Pros: Easy Time Logs is a time tracking, timesheet, and project management software product. While it is easy for the individual team members to enter time spent on tasks and the corresponding project, it is equally easy for supervisors to track time usage and monitor the progress of a specific project. As these projects/activities are based on time rates, the customer billing amounts based on the overall billing rate agreed with the customer is easily calculated. Customer invoicing becomes that much easier because the application keeps track of these. All members of your team can record their working hours per client and projects, use a web-based timesheet, and track their time throughout the day. The information is stored in a shared hosted or native database which is accessible to employees, managers and executives of the company. The program has many customizing options to suit the need for a particular organization, the developers recognize that everybody’s need is different.

The user interface is built on the styles of MS Outlook so that adds to the familiarity and ease of use. Consolidated reports can be generated quite easily by the supervisors from this interface. These can be summary reports or detailed ones including all clients, all tasks, all projects.

Cons: Some system messages are a little ambiguous which may due to unfamiliarity of developers with the language. The icons/buttons do not have labels that are shown on mouse over. Not enough system messages either to guide a user. On some combinations of inputs program debug system messages came on, meaning that they are not handled properly, some system messages should handle such exceptions.

On the billing front there are no ways to keep track of expenses chargeable to a customer as well as any traveling expenses that may be due.
