FAQ
Questions
$50 once. Clients never create an account. Ranges stay private until both are in.
General
What is FairPrice?
An anonymous budget matching tool. Both sides submit a private range. Overlap becomes the midpoint. No overlap, you both know immediately.
Why not just ask “what’s your budget?”
The first number becomes the ceiling. Clients lowball, freelancers inflate. You find out after the proposal. A sealed bid makes honesty the winning move.
How does the matching algorithm work?
It looks for overlap between the two ranges. If they overlap, the fair price is the midpoint of that overlap. If they miss, both sides see that. Example: you $3k–$5k, client $4k–$6k. Overlap $4k–$5k. Fair price $4,500.
Pricing
How much does it cost?
$50 one-time, lifetime license. Unlimited projects. No subscription, no per-project fee.
Is there a free trial?
There is a demo on the site. The license is $50 once, so a trial is not the model.
What if I only need it once?
One avoided bad proposal, or one extra hundred on a deal, covers it. You can still use it forever.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Email within 30 days. Full refund, no argument.
How it works
Do clients need an account?
No. They open the link, enter a range, done.
Can the client see my budget first?
No. Numbers stay hidden until both sides have submitted.
What happens after the result?
If it matches, use the number. If it does not, you skip the proposal. FairPrice does not replace your contract. It handles the budget check.
Can I reuse a link?
No. Each project link is one use, or 30 days. Create another instantly.
Trust
Is the data encrypted?
Yes. Budgets are encrypted at rest. Deleted after 30 days. We do not sell the data.
Can someone game it?
Lying only hurts the liar. Lowball and you miss a match you would have taken. Same if you inflate. Honesty is the winning strategy.
Will clients think this is weird?
Frame it as: I use a matching tool so we do not waste a proposal if the budgets miss. That is professionalism, not a gimmick.
