The Challenge

Freelancers hate talking about money. They second-guess every proposal. They scroll through forums at 2am wondering "am I charging too much? Too little?"

The anxiety of pricing yourself is real, and it costs people thousands in lost income or missed opportunities.

The Approach

Instead of making people research competitors, survey the market, or build spreadsheets, we asked: what if someone just told you what to charge?

Someone who understood current market rates, skill demand, and where you fit in. That's the conversation freelancers actually need.

The Solution

Type in your specialty. Add your experience level. Get back four concrete numbers you can actually use in your next proposal: hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly.

Plus a confidence score and clear reasoning. No research required. No guesswork. Just answers.

The Outcome

Freelancers walk into rate conversations prepared. They quote with confidence. They stop undercharging out of fear.

The question shifts from "what should I charge?" to "which billing structure works best for this client?"

What I Learned

The best tools remove anxiety, not just save time. Pricing fear is emotional. The solution needed to feel trustworthy, not just accurate.

Two inputs beat twenty. Every field I removed made the product more useful, not less.

People don't want data. They want decisions. Showing market ranges isn't as valuable as saying "charge this."
