Please note that we have recently replaced the term “Task List” with “Project Phase” in Nutcache. Some text and images in this article have not yet been updated to reflect this change in terminology. However, the content remains relevant and consistent with the current functionality of the software.
By using Nutcache, you have the freedom to choose and customize the management of your projects as you wish, and one of the ways to customize this is with the different ways of billing your projects.
The two main ways are Regular and Progressive, and in the tables below you can see the main differences between each of them, both from the perspective of the projects and the invoices.
