Connections & jobs
Built for relationships — not endless applications
Spend one connect to start a connection. Keep working together afterward without spending more. Clients pay $50 only to open a job for public applications — inviting existing connections stays free — and a 25-connection limit keeps outreach intentional.
For freelancers, agencies, and clients.
How it works
What you get with connections & jobs
Connect once
One connect starts the relationship
Whether you apply to a job or reach out directly, a connection costs one connect. You can’t buy extras or bid more than that — so attention isn’t auctioned to the highest spender.
Keep collaborating
Reuse connections without more connects
After you’re connected with a client or freelancer, create jobs, invite your roster, and keep working together without spending additional connects. The relationship is the product.
Quality over volume
A 25-connection limit keeps networks focused
Users can hold up to 25 connections at a time. That encourages freelancers to apply where they’re qualified — and helps clients avoid combing through hundreds of applications.
Serious open jobs
$50 only when a job is open for applications
Clients can spend connects to reach freelancers without posting, and create jobs to invite existing connections for free. The $50 fee applies only when they open a job for public applications — so open listings stay serious.
Interview & contract
Foster the connection — don’t control it
Lancer emphasizes conversation and fit. Use jobs and applications to meet the right people, then create contracts that reflect the real agreement between you — outside platform control of the relationship.
