A simple starting model.

The amounts below are proposed defaults for owner review. Commercial settings would be shown and accepted at the point they apply.

Freelancers

Browse free, with a monthly reply allowance.

Browsing and profile access: free.
10 successful replies to distinct mandates per calendar month, resetting in Europe/Zurich.
Duplicate attempts and failed submissions do not count toward the allowance.
Once the allowance is used, the intended service would show the remaining reset date.

Freelancer Pro · proposed

CHF 19 per month.

Planned features include additional replies, saved searches, precise mandate alerts, an application dashboard with reminders and available company updates, plus a weekly curated shortlist.

Pro access, hosted checkout, cancellation and subscription terms are not available yet.

Companies · proposed default

5% of qualifying fees, capped at CHF 2,500 per mandate.

The fee would apply to qualifying freelancer fees for work performed during the first 90 calendar days after the work starts.
VAT and reimbursed expenses are excluded from the calculation.
The fee applies when a platform introduction leads to paid work starting within six months of the first delivered reply for that company and freelancer.
The company pays the freelancer directly and pays the platform fee separately.
The accepted fee settings would be saved with the mandate; later changes would apply to future agreements.

Data and benchmarks

No market-wide claims from sparse platform data.

Rate benchmarks are planned to include their source (advertised rate or reported engagement), specialty, location, work setup and sample size. Company response rates and typical response times would be shown only when enough replies have measurable outcomes. No benchmark data is available yet.
