FAQ
Does this support change orders mid-project?
Yes. Add a change-order line item with revised fee and updated milestones. The agent re-baselines remaining payments.
Can the client sign off in-app?
Yes. Use the share link with Commenter permissions so the client can review and approve milestones without a Taskade account.
What plan supports project-based businesses?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles small project businesses. Business ($40/mo) for multi-PM teams with audit logs.
