- futureastronaut 7y agoI much prefer billing by hours/days with clear payment terms in the MSA, and iterative delivery,. Clients understand that if they don't pay, they're not going to get much. Project-based estimates with up-front payment probably is good for clients unfamiliar with software development processes, but I avoid projects like those.
- plotteddancer16 7y agoWhat about something like $10k up front and then you invoice for the hours past that?
- milesdyson_phd 7y agoSo essentially retainer billing.
