Get found by clients worldwide.

Yes. The Essential profile is free. You can create a profile, get listed in the global directory, appear on city pages, and receive direct messages from clients without paying anything. Premium ($9.99/month, or $99/year billed annually) is optional and adds a verified badge, priority search ranking, and profile analytics.

Complete your profile to 100%, add a clear avatar, list your specialties and skills, set your availability, and add cities you serve. Profiles with portfolios and recent activity rank higher. Premium boosts you in city and category searches.

Anyone browsing the public talent directory, your city pages, your category pages, and search results. The Booking Agency surfaces profiles to clients searching by city, specialty, and availability across 160+ countries. Your contact details stay private until you accept a message.

Yes. Once a booking is confirmed, the client pays through the platform via Stripe Connect. The Booking Agency facilitates the booking as agent (the contract is between you and the client) and your payout is released a few working days after the gig. See /pricing for the full fee breakdown.

Booking is available where we can pay talent out: currently the US, UK, EEA, Canada, and Switzerland. Talent outside that range, or who have not yet confirmed their payout location, show as discovery-only for now: clients can see the profile but cannot book yet. This changes as we add more payout regions.

No. A client can book you before you finish payout setup. Once booked, you complete Stripe Connect onboarding; the payment is held and released to you after the gig, not at booking.

Your payout is held and released a few working days after the gig, not at the moment of booking. See /pricing for the exact fee and timing details.

If you miss the payout-onboarding deadline after a client books you, that booking auto-cancels and the client receives a full refund.

Pick a primary category, add a clear headline, list your skills, and tag the cities you work in. The platform indexes your profile against city pages, category pages, and the global talent directory. Search queries match against your headline, skills, and category.

Yes. Add your home base plus any cities you actively work in or travel to. Toggle the remote option if you accept clients globally. Profiles with multiple cities or remote availability appear in more search results.

No. A portfolio is optional but strongly encouraged. Profiles with at least three portfolio samples (photos, audio, video, or written work) get more inbound inquiries than profiles without. Add samples from your profile dashboard, link to external work, or skip the portfolio entirely if your headline and category are enough for your audience.

Rates are shown on your profile so clients arrive with realistic expectations. List a starting rate (hourly, day, or per-project), the typical range, and what is included. You can leave rates private if you prefer to discuss them per-inquiry. Clear rates filter out misaligned leads early and lift booking conversion.
