A freelancer marketplace is a platform where freelancers find hirers and hirers find freelancers.
In contrast, a freelancer payments platform requires both freelancers and hirers to have pre-existing relationships outside the platform. Hirers are not seeking talent; instead they want a better way to manage and pay their existing team of global freelancers. Freelancers are not seeking work; they already have their clients but they want to get paid instantly without chasing payment plus have all their clients/projects in one single platform.
For software development projects, PayNinja tracks the code developers commit to the connected source code repository like BitBucket and GitHub. Then our AI checks hours worked and verifies if the freelancer worked on the code he was hired to work on. Based on that, we calculate the amount that should be paid out to your developer.

When you create a job, you choose from a number of contract types: Periodic, Milestone, Single, Per hour (tracked/untracked).
With PayNinja you communicate using your existing tools like Skype or Slack allowing a seamless transition with your freelancers/hirers. Coming soon: integrations with Trello and Slack.
