About
Built by freelancers who got tired of the usual deal.
We built the platform we wanted when we were freelancing: keep what you earn, pay nothing extra to be seen, and know the money is there before you start.
Why Open Lance exists
Four problems we kept running into
Every invoice lost a cut, and the cut kept growing.
Ultra members pay 0% commission on fixed-price and hourly work. Without Ultra the rate is shown before you apply.
Getting noticed cost more than doing the work.
A proposal costs the same number of bids whatever the job's budget. There are no paid boosts.
Clients disappeared once the work was delivered.
Every job is funded into escrow before it starts, and submitted work approves automatically if a client goes quiet.
A new platform meant starting from zero.
Freelancers can add their stats from other platforms. We verify them, and they count toward rank here.
Where we are today
Open Lance is new. There are fewer jobs and freelancers here than on the big platforms, and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise. What we can promise is that the rules on this site are the rules the product follows. If you find a place where they differ, tell us and we will fix it.
