FairRate: AI-Powered Pricing Estimation Tool for Freelancers

FairRate — Smart Pricing for Freelancers 💰
Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve been working on a small side project this week — a proof of concept called FairRate, an AI-powered tool that helps freelancers estimate fair pricing for new projects.
I built it because I’ve seen how often freelancers (especially on Contra) wonder:
“How much should I charge for this job?”
FairRate lets you simply paste a job description, select your experience level, region, and contract type, and it uses AI to generate an estimated rate range — with a short explanation of why.
🧩 Tech stack:
Built in React
Using Firebase AI Studio for the reasoning and generation layer
Hosted with Firebase
It’s still an early POC, but I’d love to get feedback from other freelancers and creators here on Contra.
You can try it here:

My goal is to help independent professionals get a better sense of their value — and make pricing conversations a little less awkward.
💬 If you try it out, I’d love to hear what you think — what works, what doesn’t, and what could make it more useful for your workflow.
Thanks for checking it out 🙌
