Pay Securely & Get Work Done

Use milestone-based escrow payments. Release funds only when you're 100% satisfied with the delivered work.

Secure Payments

Escrow & secure payments

Every payment on LanceGuru flows through milestone-based escrow, so clients pay only for work they accept and freelancers never chase an invoice.

Step 1
Fund the escrow
Once you award a project, you deposit the agreed amount into LanceGuru's secure escrow. The freelancer starts work knowing the funds are guaranteed — but the money stays protected until you approve.
Step 2
Work is delivered
The freelancer completes the milestone and submits the deliverables through the platform. You review the work, request revisions if needed, and confirm everything meets your requirements.
Step 3
Release the payment
Happy with the result? Release the funds with one click and they reach the freelancer instantly — withdrawable to bank, UPI or PayPal. You only ever pay for work you accept.
