The report card
Best for small teams that bill clients for project time
Nutcache puts tasks, time tracking, expenses and invoicing in one web app, and the free plan covers 2 users and 10 projects. The catch is that Gantt charts, budgeting and unlimited invoicing need Pro at $15.95 a user, and approvals and workload views need Enterprise. There are no native phone apps on its pages.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Pro 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free for 2 users, 10 projects, 10 clients, 200 invoices and 100 MB of storage. A team of three is already over it. |
| Features | C | Tasks, time, expenses and invoices in one place. Gantt charts and real-time budgeting need Pro and approvals and workload views need Enterprise. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. A web app where you build your own projects, clients and invoice setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only. The pages list no native mobile apps, and the interface comes in four languages. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Nutcache is for
- 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
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Professional services firms that bill clients for tracked time
- Very small teams: the free plan covers two users
- Teams that want budgets and invoices next to their tasks
Worth knowing
- The Free plan stops at 2 users, 10 projects and 100 MB of storage.
- Gantt charts, real-time budgeting and unlimited invoicing need the Pro plan; approvals and workload views need Enterprise.
- The pricing page shows Canadian dollars by default; the US dollar prices are behind a currency switch.
- The interface comes in English, French, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish, and the pages list no native mobile apps.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Nutcache you could make: tasks, Gantt & timelines, time tracking, expense tracking and invoicing. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 90 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $191.40 a year.
What you could make
- Tasks, Gantt & timelines, time tracking, expense tracking and invoicing: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Nutcache’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
