Payment per hour or payment per task

[Nomad]

As a freelancer, you can sell your services in two ways, one, by charging per hour, and two by charging per task? Which one is your favorite method? Well, I like to work on per task basis. This will allow me to make money based on the work I do on the task and I also get flexible working hours. I have worked on per hour basis but this is not my favorite way to work on freelancing contracts.

Payment per task is better for me as well. My working schedule is not fixed. Anything can happen at any hour, so it's better I get paid per each task I do.

I think it is easier to manage and evaluate payments on a per task basis for a freelancer than per hour.

I prefer to be paid per task because I have an online job, which may prevent me from completing it exactly when the client expects. I might be busy with my online job at that time.

I like payment per hour at least I would get more pay as I work more hours I would get more pay.

I prefer payment per hour. You find that you can make way for from thata other then a fixed amount you will get per task. I have only worked for tasks that pay per hour.
