For Freelancers

Get paid without the stress.

Stop chasing invoices. Clients commit upfront, you deliver the work, payment releases automatically.

The problem

Freelancing is great. Getting paid isn't.

Clients ghost after delivery

You send the final files, then silence. No payment, no response, no recourse.

The 50% upfront conversation

Asking for a deposit feels awkward with new clients. Sending money to someone new feels risky for them.

Scope creep kills margins

"Can you just add one more thing?" Without a locked scope, small asks pile up into unpaid work.

Invoices are just hope

An invoice is a request, not a commitment. There's no guarantee it gets paid, or paid on time.

The solution

Get paid before you hit “send”.

Holdy flips the script. Clients deposit funds upfront. You work with confidence. Money released when you deliver.

Funds secured upfront

Before you write a single line of code or design a single logo, the payment is already held by Stripe. No more "I'll pay when it's done."

Clear deliverables

Define exactly what you'll deliver upfront. No scope creep, no "just one more thing." Both sides agree before work starts.

Instant payouts

Client confirms delivery. Money lands in your Stripe account immediately. No Net-30, no waiting for "payment processing."

Dispute protection

Automatic rules run the deal, not a reviewer. Your hash-timestamped uploads are the evidence. Clients can only reject specific missing items, not for "quality".

How it works

Three steps to get paid.

1

Send a Holdy link to your client

Set your rate, describe the deliverables, and share the link via email or DM. Takes 30 seconds.

2

Client pays upfront

They pay via Stripe. Payment is held by Stripe until you deliver. You get a notification and can start working with confidence.

3

Deliver & get paid instantly

Upload your work via Holdy. Client reviews and confirms. Money lands in your bank account. Done.

Pricing

You decide who pays the fee.

5–8% per deal. Absorb it yourself, pass it to your client, or split 50/50. Your call on every project.

5 8%

Lower for bigger projects. No subscriptions, no hidden costs.
