Already working with amazing clients? Bring them to Contra and make managing your projects smoother, safer, and totally commission-free.
Here’s why (and how) to do it:
Clients Only Pay When Work is Approved with Escrow Projects
When you send a contract through Contra and set up an escrow payment project, both you and the client are protected with our built in payments.
On the client's end, their payment is held in escrow until they approve the work—giving them extra peace of mind and building even more trust between you both.
Note: This does not apply to invoice payments.
Commission-Free for Independents
Unlike other platforms, Contra never takes a cut of your earnings. You keep 100% of what you make, every single time.
Your client will only pay a small $29 contract fee and Stripe's payment processing fee. The $29 fee is also waived if you are Contra Pro.
Keep Everything in One Place
Invoices, contracts, payments, deliverables—everything stays organized on Contra. No more scattered emails or missed payments. Just clean, simple project management for you and your clients.
Bonus: Build Their Brand on Contra
When you bring clients to Contra, they're not just managing projects—they're building a brand. Each project you complete can strengthen their company profile and establish their reputation.

Hi [Client Name],
I’d love to manage our project through Contra! It’s a professional platform built for independent work that helps keep everything organized and secure.
Here’s why it’s a win-win:
You’ll only pay once you approve the work.
Everything (contracts, invoices, deliverables) stays in one place.
There are no hidden costs—just a small $29 contract fee on your side and Stripe payment processing fees.
I keep 100% of my earnings, so we can avoid extra platform fees.
It’ll make the process smoother for both of us—and give you added peace of mind with a clear contract and easy payment flow.
Let me know, and I can send over the contract to get started!
