There are two types of account - free, limited to eight applications per month, and paid ($ 9.95 per month). Paid account gives you a hundred applications per month and increases the number of skills you can advertise up to eighty.

There is a Freelancer mobile application with full functionality of the pc version - you can stay informed regardless of the location.

You can draw attention to yourself, improve your reputation and earn money by applying for a tender - it's free, but if you win, you will have to share with the platform.

Protection of payments is provided by Milestone Payments - before the start of work the client's money is deposited in a special account and automatically transferred to the freelancer's after the project is finished.
