Plans for employers<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<p><strong>Our long-term observation of user behavior and a deep dive into their needs let us create a new, cost-effective pricing structure for our clients. Below, we&#8217;ll explain what&#8217;s changing and how these changes will affect your transactions with freelancers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_use_our_new_pricing_plan\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who can use our new pricing plan?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is: everyone, but on one condition. As before, we deduct a low service fee from your deals with freelancers on Useme. <\/span><b>If you want to base the transaction fees on the new pricing, you have to cover the service fee<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To cover the service fee, contact us at <\/span><a href=\"mailto:employer@useme.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">employer@useme.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and let us know that you want to switch to the new pricing and choose one of the plans described below.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_benefits_of_the_new_pricing_for_employers\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key benefits of the new pricing for employers<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every new platform feature or improvement has been possible thanks to you and other users. Your constructive feedback has been enormously helpful in shaping the new pricing according to your needs. Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve introduced:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lower service fee<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most importantly, our service fee percentage is now lower than before. It used to be 4.99%. Now, it&#8217;s 4.5% of the net invoice value and can go even lower. All you need to do to reduce it is make transactions with more freelancers per month.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The more freelancers, the lower your service fee<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second most impactful update is the switch from how many deals you make to how many freelancers you pay each month. The more contractors invoice you via Useme, the lower your service fee percentage. This change aims to favor employers who settle deals with several freelancers per month.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Three plans<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We&#8217;ve introduced three brand-new pricing plans. You can check their details in our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/help.useme.eu\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/15580016231708-Pricing-for-employers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/help.useme.eu\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/15580016231708-Pricing-for-employers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">. <\/a>Each plan implies a different service fee. You&#8217;re assigned to the plan based on your monthly number of freelancers on Useme.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4325 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/new-pricing-for-employers-the-more-freelancers-the-lower-your-service-fee.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/new-pricing-for-employers-the-more-freelancers-the-lower-your-service-fee.png 1600w, https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/new-pricing-for-employers-the-more-freelancers-the-lower-your-service-fee-1280x608.png 1280w, https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/new-pricing-for-employers-the-more-freelancers-the-lower-your-service-fee-980x466.png 980w, https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/new-pricing-for-employers-the-more-freelancers-the-lower-your-service-fee-480x228.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1600px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Maximum and minimum service fee per transaction<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our service fee is a percentage of the net amount stated on the invoice from the freelancer. However, you&#8217;ll never pay more than \u20ac99 for a service fee per transaction, regardless of the invoice amount. The service fee will also never be lower than \u20ac5 per transaction. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check demonstrative service fee calculations<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_prices_same_great_value\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New prices, same great value<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everything has changed. Useme has always been free of subscription fees. We offer you a \u201cpay-per-task\u201d model, so you pay a service fee only when you make a transaction with a freelancer. <\/span><b>You are entirely in charge of your budget and collaboration with remote contractors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, there&#8217;s no set-up fee. You can create and run an account for free, even if you don&#8217;t make any transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_included_in_your_pricing_plan\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What&#8217;s included in your pricing plan?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each plan has a different service fee percentage but the same benefits! No matter how many freelancers invoice you per month, you have unlimited access to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Summary invoices and bulk payments.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To reduce procedural work, you can replace all transactions via Useme with a single payment and tax invoice.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Escrow service.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you pay your contractor via Useme, we don&#8217;t immediately send them the payment. We hold it in escrow until the freelancer uploads work files confirming job completion. This way, Useme ensures both sides of the transaction are protected.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Customer Service support. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proactive, empathetic, and effective, to mention just a few words used by our users to describe our Customer Service team. You and your contractor can use our support to facilitate your transactions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>The international base of 160k+ freelancers.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you have a job to outsource and an account on Useme but lack a contractor, try Useme Jobs. Here, employers find remote specialists from all around the world and pay them for work without formalities.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Easy copyright transfer. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you pay for a graphic, written content, program, or another original work, you can acquire the copyright from its author through Useme. When freelancers invoice you on our platform, they can transfer copyrights with one click \u2013 you don&#8217;t have to do anything.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Plans_for_employers\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.

We round the average up to your advantage. The higher your rounded average, the lower your service fee next month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, If you&#8217;re just starting to work with freelancers through Useme, we don&#8217;t count the average.
