Which one is for you
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
Pick Scoro if
- Fits if you're a consultancy or agency of 5 or more that quotes, delivers and bills in one system
- Works for firms tracking margin, utilization and revenue per project
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if there are fewer than five of you, because every combination needs at least 5 seats
- Pricey if you want the lot, at $57 a user a month for all eight apps, and $17 buys only time tracking and invoicing
- Not for you if you need single sign-on or SCIM on the Standard platform, as both are Enterprise only
- Watch out: the per-user price rises with each app you add, and some add-ons and integrations cost extra
- Watch out: free self-onboarding stops at 15 people, and larger teams are pointed to onboarding packages
How we grade them
| 2.0GPANutcacheFair | 2.2GPAScoroFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPro is $15.95 a user a month on yearly billing, above the $12.50 where the dearer quarter of project tools starts. The pricing page shows Canadian dollars by default. | DThis is the dear end of the category and then some. The cheapest combination is $17 a user a month, twice the $8 middle, and that's only time tracking and invoicing. Tasks, projects and resourcing together are $29, all eight apps $57, and nothing under 5 seats. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree for 2 users, 10 projects, 10 clients, 200 invoices and 100 MB of storage. A team of three is already over it. | CNo free plan. You get 14 days with no credit card asked for, and after that every combination needs at least 5 paid seats, so the smallest bill is a real one. |
| Features | CTasks, time, expenses and invoices in one place. Gantt charts and real-time budgeting need Pro and approvals and workload views need Enterprise. | BIt covers the whole job: tasks with a Kanban board, projects with a Gantt chart and dependencies, time tracking, resource bookings, sales, quotes with margin planning, expenses and invoicing, on one set of data. Productive and Avaza, its own named rivals, do much the same. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. A web app where you build your own projects, clients and invoice setup. | CNo store rating on record, and there's real setting up: you pick which of the eight apps to buy before you begin, then wire in the money side. Free self-onboarding stops at 15 people, and bigger teams are pointed at onboarding packages run by Scoro's experts. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only. The pages list no native mobile apps, and the interface comes in four languages. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Salesforce, HubSpot, Jira, Google Calendar and Zapier, plus an API and an MCP server on both platforms. No desktop app, which is what holds it to a B. Some integrations cost extra, mind. |
| Best for | small teams that bill clients for project time | service firms that quote, deliver and bill in one |

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.
