From posting a job to getting paid
Clients post what they need and review proposals. Freelancers apply, agree terms, and do the work. Money moves through the platform at each step, so both sides know where they stand.
Get startedGetting started is easy
Ready to connect with top talent or discover the perfect match for your project? The possibilities are limitless, and the first step is just a click away.

Hire & Manage
Agree milestones, track progress and release payment securely through escrow.
Where the money sits
Nobody pays into thin air and nobody works on trust. The platform holds the funds in between.
The client pays up front
Before the work starts, not after it. Fixed-price milestones are funded one at a time.
The money is held
It sits with Stripe — not with the freelancer, and no longer with the client.
The work is accepted
The client reviews what was delivered. Accepting is what releases the payment.
The freelancer is paid
Funds move to their balance and then out to their bank account.
Fixed price
The total is split into milestones. Each one is funded before that stage of work and released when the client accepts it, so neither side is ever carrying the whole project.
Hourly
The freelancer logs time against tasks and an invoice is raised automatically each week from those hours. Both sides see the same work diary, so the invoice is never a surprise.
Card payments and payouts are handled by Stripe. Ingenium never holds your card details.
