Tell sellers
what you need.
Describe the work, set your budget and review proposals in one place. Choose the seller whose offer fits your brief.
Add your brief and review the details before posting.
Describe the work.
Add a title, requirements and budget so sellers understand the task.
Compare proposals.
Read each offer and check its price against the other bids.
Choose who to hire.
Pick a bid that fits. Your job closes to new bids when you hire.
You see the offers.
Sellers see their own.
As the buyer, you can read every proposal and its price. Competing sellers cannot read each other’s proposal text or exact bid prices.
Understand the bid prices.
With two or more bids, each price band compares a bid with the average of all live bids on your job.
Only one bid? You’ll see “Within budget” or “Over budget” instead, when a budget is available.
What the bands mean
They describe relative price, not quality or market rates. Every live bid, including the bid being labeled, contributes to the average. A bid can also be marked “Over budget”. No usable comparison means no price band.
Make room for the right offer.
Start with what you need. Add the details before you post.
