Im a big fan of flat fee as I tend to jump from project to project as a theme or idea hits me. Stopping the creative flow to record the hours spent on each project as I move about would be too time consuming and distracting. I find I usually am just over in hours compared to flat fee but i dont mind this as it usually all works itself out in the end. It also gives me a little room for bargaining or negotiations on price for those budget conscious clients. Very interesting and informative article.

I'd like to add a downside to using flat fees: estimating the cost upfront. While clients paying hourly still want to know how long you think a project will take, it's a little bit more stressful when you're charging a flat fee. Also, another website I found useful was HotGigs. I wrote a quick review here: http://danielmclaren.net/2008/10/29/flash-and-flex-developer-hourly-rates-at-hotgigs Hey Kevin,

But suddenly one of client felt price bit higher and told me to charge hourly, I did some calculation and came out with rate of $10 per hour. Clients have no problem now and I feel no difference in pay. I feel you are right that now clients will no be happy if I increase my hourly rates but if I have to then I will do it.
