Hire freelancers who actually hit deadlines.

Pay-on-time escrow. Workers earn 100% if they're on time, less every day they're late, and nothing if they vanish. Whatever they don't earn comes back to you — automatically.

The deadline is the price.

How it works

1

Post your job

Set the budget and the deadline. Funds go into escrow. The worker can see exactly what's at stake.

2

Worker delivers

On time, they earn 100%. Each day late, the payout drops 10%. Day ten, it's zero — and the deadline is the price.

3

You're protected

If the worker vanishes without delivering, you get a full refund — including our fee. No questions, no fight.

Workers pay nothing.

That's the differentiator. The hirer pays the fee — and the worker keeps every dollar they earn.

Platform Hirer pays Worker pays
Fiverr 5.5% + small-order fees 20%
Upwork 3-10% ~10%
Freelancer.com 3% ($3 min) 10%
Timetied 5% card / 3% ACH ($3 min) $0

Common questions

What if the work is on time but bad quality?
You review the submission. If it doesn't match the brief, you can request revisions or contest it for a mediator review. The mediator scores the submission against what was agreed and decides what percentage the worker gets — anywhere from 0% to 100%.
What if the hirer keeps adding new requirements after the job started?
The worker can flag scope changes. Mediators only judge against the original brief — work outside it doesn't count toward the deadline. If you need new requirements, post a follow-up job or agree on a new deadline together.
When does the worker actually get paid?
As soon as you approve the submission. If you don't respond, an auto-approval timer (default 5 days) releases the funds. If there's a dispute, payment waits for the mediator's decision. Funds go straight to the worker's bank account or card.
How is this different from Upwork or Fiverr?
Two things. First, the deadline actually affects what gets paid — late means less money, very late means nothing. On Upwork or Fiverr, a missed deadline rarely changes the price. Second, workers pay zero fees on Timetied. On Fiverr they pay 20%; on Upwork around 10%. The hirer covers the platform cost.
What counts as "proof of work"?
Whatever was agreed in the brief. A file, a link, a deployed URL, a screen recording — anything that demonstrates the deliverable. Submissions are timestamped automatically so both sides have a record.
Can I cancel a job?
Yes. Before any work is submitted, both sides agreeing to cancel triggers a full refund. After a submission exists, cancellation goes through the dispute process so the worker gets credit for what they did.
