Launch: July 1, 2026

The Booking Agency goes live to the public on July 1, 2026. The site has been open and indexable since 2025 to bootstrap SEO, but the full subscription, hiring, and booking flow turns on launch day.

What launches on August 1

  • Free talent profile creation for any freelancer or agency
  • Free client account for browsing, search, and messaging talent directly
  • Stripe-backed Premium ($9.99/mo) and Pro ($49.99/mo) talent tiers
  • Direct booking workflow: client sends a brief, talent responds, both sides agree, the contract lives between them
  • Search across 339,000 cities, 27 languages, and 11,000 active Jobs & Gigs
  • Agency profiles with multi-talent rosters

What you can do right now, before launch

  • Create your profile and lock your username
  • Add portfolio links, photos, and rates
  • Browse the city, country, and category catalogs
  • Read the pricing and how it works pages

How to be ready

Profiles created before launch get featured placement during the first month. The earlier you complete your profile (avatar, bio, three portfolio pieces), the earlier you show up when clients search your city.

Why August 1

The calendar lines up with the Q3 hiring window in the markets we care most about. Most freelancers we have spoken to plan their summer client load in July, and most agencies plan their Q3 hires in late summer.
