You pay securely into escrow and release the funds only once you are satisfied with the delivered work. See how it works for a step-by-step guide.

How does escrow payment work for freelancers?

When you hire a freelancer, your payment is held safely in escrow rather than sent directly. Funds are released to the freelancer only when you approve the completed work or milestone. This protects both clients and freelancers — clients pay only for work they accept, and freelancers are guaranteed payment for approved deliverables.

LanceGuru covers a wide range of skill categories including web development, mobile app development, graphic and UI/UX design, content writing, digital marketing, SEO, data science, AI/ML and more.

Commission depends on your membership plan. Free members pay 10%, and the fee drops on paid plans — down to 6% on the Plus plan — so the more you grow, the less you pay. See the full breakdown on our membership plans.

Yes. Freelancers can verify their identity and prove their expertise through skill assessment tests to earn verified badges. Client ratings, reviews and portfolios are shown on every profile, so you can hire with confidence.
