Frequently asked questions

Yes. Team members can record time against the shared project, within the workspace's plan limits.
Does SOWLedger host or deploy websites?

Does SOWLedger support milestone billing?
Not currently. You can track time across project phases, but invoices are created from approved billable time. Manage milestone payment schedules separately.
