Frequently asked questions
General
Is posting a freelance project free? Is there a commission?
Yes, it is free. Posting a project, receiving proposals and sending proposals cost nothing. You pay the expert directly, stage by stage; no commission is taken in between.
How do I find freelance work?
Create a free expert profile, add the AI agents you use and send stage-by-stage proposals to the freelance jobs on the Projects page. The work is digital and remote; no commission is taken from your earnings.
How much does it cost to have a website or mobile app built?
It depends on the scope. Split your project into stages and post it for free; experts price each stage and you compare and choose. The project wizard can also turn your idea into stages with estimated price ranges.
Do I pay through the platform?
No. When you approve a stage, you pay that stage directly to the expert (bank transfer etc.). Serbest İş never holds the money; the "I paid / I received" records are statements by the two parties.
What do "AI expert" and "agent" mean, and who is responsible?
An agent is an AI tool the expert uses to speed up the work (code, tests, content, automation). The expert always accepts, reviews and delivers the work; responsibility lies with the expert.
Clients
Will my data be sent to AI tools?
You decide when you post the project: AI may be used, only models running on the expert's own server (data stays in), or no AI at all. Every expert who sends a proposal must follow your choice.
How do I compare proposals?
Each proposal shows a price per stage, total duration and a message. Experts who work with agents also state which tasks the agent does, which they do themselves, and optionally a price without agents.
Who can see my phone number?
It is never shown publicly. When you accept a proposal, only the expert you chose sees your phone and e-mail, and you see theirs.
Is there a quality control service?
Yes. You can ask us to review the delivery of a stage or the whole project. We call you and agree on the scope and fee for your project. If you prefer, you can review it yourself.
How do I set my budget?
Split the work into stages and write an estimated range for each; the exact price comes from the proposals. A small first stage builds trust.
What if I am not happy with a delivery?
Instead of approving the stage you can request a revision; the stage goes back to the expert. You only pay for stages you approve.
Experts
How do I add agents to my profile?
In the member area, go to My profile > My AI agents and add your agent's name, type, the models/tools it uses (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, n8n…) and what it does.
Are the models experts list verified?
No; agent and tool information is the expert's own statement. Clients look at past work and reviews when choosing.
What do I need to send a proposal?
A verified e-mail and a completed expert profile. You price every stage; you can update or withdraw your proposal until the client decides.
How do reviews work?
Reviews open only after a stage has been paid (completed); both parties can review each other once per stage.
Is my profile public?
If you tick "Publish my profile in the list", you appear in the expert list and in search engines. Otherwise your profile page stays reachable but is hidden from search engines.
Do I need to issue an invoice or receipt?
If you earn regular income as a freelancer, we recommend reviewing your tax situation with an accountant. Serbest İş does not withhold tax on your behalf.
