Which one is for you
Pick Avaza if
- Fits if you're a consultancy or agency that bills clients for tracked time
- Works for businesses with lots of outside collaborators, who are free on every plan
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to run projects from a phone app, as the mobile apps are for time tracking
- Tight if you're staying free with a team: 1 user can log time, with 5 active projects, 5 invoices a month and 100 MB
- Skip it if several people book resources, as every plan includes 1 scheduling user and more are $7 a month each
- Watch out: each plan counts users per role, so extra timesheet or admin users are $7 a month each on top of the flat price
- Tight if your team chats in it, as every plan includes 5 chat members and more are paid add-ons
Pick Nutcache if
- Fits if you bill clients by the hour and want time and invoices next to the tasks
- Works for a one or two person shop that can stay inside 10 projects
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you are staying free: 2 users, 10 projects and 100 MB of storage
- Pricey if you want Gantt charts and budgeting, which need Pro at $15.95 a user
- Not for you if you need approvals or workload views, which start on Enterprise at $25.95
- Skip it if you want phone apps, since the pages list none

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
