Built by freelancers, for freelancers.
We built the platform we always wished existed — tired of losing a chunk of every invoice and waiting days to get paid, we made something fairer for the people who do the work and the people who hire them.
Why Open Lance exists
Freelancing should be fair. That means keeping what you earn (0% commission), getting paid the moment work’s approved, and never gambling on whether the money will actually arrive. Open Lance makes that the default, not the exception.
Fair to both sides
Every job is funded into escrowbefore it starts — so freelancers know the money’s there, and clients only pay for work they approve. Instant release on the freelancer side, full control on the client side, and fair mediation when something goes wrong.
Our principles
Freelancer-first
Your interests come first — and that earns clients better work.
Transparent
Clear fees, clear rules, no fine-print surprises.
Private
Talent isn't a public catalog; clients discover you after signing in.
Fair
Equal-opportunity bidding — reputation over budget.
Join a fairer way to freelance.
