What benefits do Freelancer Members get?

For Clients:

 

  • Free Project Extensions (for Plus, Professional, and Premier members) - This feature increases the time your project can receive bids.

  • Free Sealed Project upgrades (for Professional and Premier members) -  This feature hides bids from other freelancers, leading to more accurate, higher quality proposals.

  • Free NDA Project upgrades (for Premier members) - This feature ensures freelancers sign a Non-disclosure agreement before bidding on your project to ensure confidentiality of your project. 


 

For Freelancers:

 

  • More bids to use on projects. The more you bid, the better your chances at being awarded a project, which means you can earn more!

  • Instant email and real-time notifications when your favorite clients are hiring. Employer Following enables Basic, Plus, Professional and Premier members to choose their favorite clients to follow. You'll receive email notifications when they post projects and contests.

  • Never miss another earning opportunity! Project Bookmarking enables Basic, Plus, Professional and Premier members to flag projects they are interested in, to bid on later.

What are the Payment Methods and Billing Cycles for Freelancer Memberships?

Monthly and annual billing cycles are available for all paid membership plans.


Depending on what option you choose, your membership will be renewed at the end of each month or at the end of each year. Billing due date information is available on the Freelancer Memberships page and your Membership page. If you choose to pay annually, you'll be able to save up to 20% compared to paying monthly.


We accept the following payment methods for paid membership plans:

  • Credit / Debit Card

  • PayPal

  • Skrill


Note: If you haven't cancelled your current membership plan on the day it ends, it will be renewed automatically. If you have insufficient funds, the plan will still renew and your account will have a negative balance. This will then be covered once you deposit funds or earn payments on the site.


If you have issues with the renewal of your membership plan, you can contact our Support team anytime by clicking the Live Support button here.

How do I upgrade my membership?

Visit the Freelancer Memberships page and click Upgrade on the plan you wish to upgrade to.


You'll be upgraded instantly to a new monthly or annual subscription. Plus, we'll refund the remainder of your previous membership plan!

How do I downgrade my membership?

You can downgrade to another paid membership plan or to the Free Membership. 


Visit the Freelancer Memberships page and click Downgrade on the plan you wish to downgrade to. Your new membership plan will begin once your current plan expires. That way, you'll still get all the benefits of your current plan until your new plan becomes active.


If you want to go back to being a Free Member instead, go to your Settings page and select the Membership tab. From there, click Cancel, select your reason for cancelling your current plan, and confirm the cancellation. Your account will return to Free Membership once your current plan expires. To know more, please click here.


We'll save your old membership details in case you decide to upgrade your membership at a later date.
