What Freelo is and how it works

Escrow-protected fixed-price contracts between clients and verified Indonesian talent.


Freelo connects clients with identity-verified Indonesian freelancers. What makes it different from a job board is the escrow: the client pays before work starts, Freelo holds the money, and it only moves when the client approves the delivered work.

  1. 01

    A client posts a job

    Free, and takes a few minutes. Only KYC-verified talents are allowed to apply.

  2. 02

    Talents apply with a bid

    Each application costs the talent one apply token. The client can shortlist, chat, and counter-offer.

  3. 03

    The client hires and funds the escrow

    Awaiting client funding

    Accepting a bid creates a contract. The client pays the full amount by card; Freelo holds it.

  4. 04

    The talent works and marks it delivered

    Delivered

    Nothing is paid automatically. Delivery is a signal to the client, not a payment trigger.

  5. 05

    The client approves — escrow releases

    Completed

    Freelo deducts a flat 10% fee from the talent's side and sends the rest to their verified bank account.

If the two sides disagree, either can open a dispute. The escrow freezes immediately and nobody — including Freelo — can move the money until it is resolved.

What Freelo does not do yet

  • Hourly contracts. Every contract is a single fixed price agreed up front.
  • Milestones. One contract holds one escrow amount, released once.
  • Wallets or stored balances. Money is either in your bank, or in escrow.
