From posting a job to taxes handled — here's exactly what happens, step by step. No surprises, no chasing invoices.
Set the scope, deadline, and price for your freelancer.
The money is locked in escrow — your freelancer can see it before they start.
They do the work knowing payment is guaranteed, then upload it for review.
One tap pays them out, instantly — no net-30, no chasing invoices.
A slice of every payout is auto-saved to their tax vault. April stops hurting.
Marketplaces take a cut out of the freelancer’s pay. On Paper charges the creator a small fee instead — so the person who did the work keeps every dollar.
Competitor fees are approximate and as publicly listed; check their current terms. On Paper isn’t a marketplace — it’s the payment rail for people who already work together.
Fund a job and On Paper splits the payout, reserves the freelancer’s taxes, and keeps the record — automatically.
The money is locked in escrow before they start, so there’s no “did the check clear?” tension.
Every job categorized, every payout logged, one-click CSV export at tax time.
Guaranteed pay and automatic tax set-aside make you the client freelancers want to work with again.
