Why freelancers

love Contra

Just completed my first client payment via credit card! The one-off invoicing process was streamlined and will def be using it more in the future.

Alex Yem

I remember when I first started freelancing, I was so excited to have the freedom to work on my own terms. But every time I completed a job and received payment, I couldn't help but feel frustrated knowing that a portion of it went straight to commission fees. That's until I discovered Contra.

Ubaid Ullah

I like that Contra is 100% commission-free and they allow crypto payouts. I use crypto all the time so it's a gamechanger! I got my first payout in MINUTES.

Redel Bautista
