From what I see, this choice can really affect how much you earn and how you manage your time. A project rate means you agree on one fixed price, while a daily rate means you charge based on each day you work. For long projects, things can change along the way, and that can make pricing difficult. Some people say fixed pricing brings clarity, while others say daily rates protect your time better. Which option has worked best for you in long jobs, and why?
