to / after / according to
'nach' and 'nach Massgabe' can both express that something follows a rule, opinion, or requirement. 'nach' is much more general and sounds natural in many everyday sentences: 'nach Plan' (according to plan), 'nach meiner Meinung' (in my opinion), 'nach dem Gesetz' (according to the law). 'nach Massgabe' is a fixed, formal expression and is more likely to be used in administrative, legal, or contract texts. The words can be confused because both can mean 'gemäß' (according to / in accordance with). In everyday language, you almost always use 'nach'. 'Nach Massgabe' sounds much more official.
