Our rates. Openly published.
We believe in transparency. Here's exactly what things cost—before you sign up, before you commit, before anything.
No other platform publishes rates this clearly. We think you deserve to know what you're paying.

Our commission: We take 20% of the project value to cover our operations. This is already included in the rates above—the price you see is the price you pay. There are no additional platform fees.
For context
| Service Type | Typical Market Rate | Rendered Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy consultant | £900-1,200/day | £240/day |
| Web developer | £400-600/day | £200/day |
| Graphic designer | £300-500/day | £160/day |
| Marketing consultant | £500-800/day | £160/day |
Why the difference? Our talent accepts lower rates because they want to work with nonprofits. They're not comparing to full commercial rates—they're comparing to volunteering (£0) or being between jobs. The work is meaningful, the commitment is flexible, and the rates are fair for the value exchange.

Why these rates? These rates are 20-25% of typical freelance market rates. That's lower than you'd charge commercially—but higher than volunteering. The exchange: meaningful work for fair (not maximum) compensation. If maximising income is your priority, traditional freelancing is a better fit.
