PeoplePerHour: find freelance projects, with fees and payment-clearing time to budget for

Pitch useful digital services to clients or publish a fixed-price offer; profile approval and winning work are not guaranteed.

How it works

PeoplePerHour is a freelance marketplace for services such as design, writing, development and marketing. UK applicants can create a profile for review, publish a defined service offer or send proposals to suitable projects. The basic service includes 15 free proposal credits each month, but neither approval nor paid work is guaranteed. Start with a small, specific service you can deliver well rather than paying for more bids before understanding the competition.

The published freelancer fee schedule is 20% below £250 lifetime billing with a buyer, 7.5% between £250 and £5,000, and 3.5% above £5,000, excluding VAT; the minimum fee is £1 per invoice. Price work to cover those charges and unpaid pitching time. Funds may take approximately 14 working days to clear before withdrawal, followed by processing and transfer time. Keep scope, revisions and payment arrangements documented in the platform’s WorkStream, check that the agreed deposit is funded, and avoid clients requesting upfront payments or unrelated financial transfers.
