What is Escrow?
Escrow is a secure payment system that protects both clients and freelancers. When you're hired for a project, the client's payment is held safely by TechieNova until the work is completed and approved.
Secure for Both
Clients know funds are reserved. Freelancers get paid once work is approved.
Instant Release
Once approved, payment releases immediately to your account.
Fair Disputes
Disagreements are handled fairly by our review team.

Billing Questions?
How is my commission calculated?
Your commission is based on four factors: (1) Project Value (determines base %), (2) Your Rating (penalty or discount), (3) Completion Rate (high performers get discounts), and (4) Platform Tenure & Lifetime Revenue (experience-based discounts). All modifiers stack together to determine your final commission.
What's the minimum and maximum commission?
Commissions range from 0.5% to 7%, depending on your factors:
- Maximum (7%): Small project, new member, rating below 4.0, low completion rate
- Minimum (0.5%): Large project, excellent rating (4.5+), 95%+ completion, 12+ months tenure, $25k+ lifetime revenue
How do I lower my commission rate?
You have multiple paths to earn discounts:
- Maintain a 4.5+ rating to earn -0.5% discount
- Keep 95%+ project completion rate for -0.5% discount
- Stay on platform 12+ months to earn -0.5% discount
- Reach $25k+ lifetime revenue for -1% discount
- Work on larger projects ($2,500+) for lower base rates
Do modifiers stack or do I pick one?
All modifiers stack together! If you have a high rating (-0.5%), good completion rate (-0.5%), 15 months tenure (-0.5%), and $30k lifetime revenue (-1%), all these discounts combine to lower your base rate by 2.5% total.
When do I get paid?
Payout speed depends on your experience level: Standard members receive payouts within 48 hours, established members (8+ months or $10k+ revenue) get paid within 24 hours, and top-tier members ($25k+ revenue) receive same-day payouts. All payouts occur after the client approves your completed work.
What if my rating drops?
Your commission is recalculated on each new project based on your current metrics. If your rating drops below 4.0, you'll incur a +1% penalty. If your completion rate falls below 80%, another +1% penalty applies. However, you can always improve these metrics—complete quality projects and maintain professional communication to restore your rating and get discounts back.
What if there's a dispute?
Our team reviews all disputes fairly. Both parties provide evidence, and we make a decision within 48 hours. Payment is held in escrow during the process. We consider the project requirements, deliverables provided, client communication, and work quality. If we determine the work was completed satisfactorily, payment releases immediately.
What payment methods do you support?
We support multiple withdrawal methods: bank transfers (direct deposit), PayPal, Stripe, and digital wallets. Choose your preferred method in your account settings. All withdrawals are free with no conversion charges.
Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden fees, ever. You pay only the commission percentage based on your hybrid tier. There are no account maintenance fees, no withdrawal fees, no currency conversion charges, and no surprise add-ons. What you see is what you pay.
