FAQ

Everything you need to know about the product
How is my payment protected on Midcontract?
Before work begins, your client deposits the funds into a secure, locked payment vault. Money is only released when the agreed work is delivered — giving both sides full protection.
What fees do I pay as a freelancer or agency?
Just 3.6% per transaction. That’s up to 5x lower than on most marketplaces. No monthly fees, no hidden charges.
Can I invite my existing clients?
Yes — Midcontract works with any client, whether you found them on Upwork, Fiverr, LinkedIn, or by referral. Simply send them a private contract link.
Can I transfer an ongoing contract from Upwork or Fiverr?
Absolutely. You can pick up where you left off — just agree on remaining milestones with your client and move it to Midcontract to stop losing more in fees. Everything stays private — no public profiles, no exposure
How do payouts work?
You can receive funds in crypto or fiat, to a wallet, bank account, or payment app — even if your client pays in a different currency. We support over 130+ methods globally.
What types of contracts can I create?
Choose from fixed-price, hourly, milestone-based, retainer, or recurring work. You stay in control of how you bill and work.
What if my contract is big or long-term?
No problem. Midcontract supports large deals, ongoing retainers, and multi-phase milestones. It’s designed for serious work, not just one-off gigs.
Does Midcontract help resolve disputes?
Yes. If things go wrong, we’ll help resolve the issue fairly. Our upcoming AI-powered dispute resolution system ensures speed and neutrality.
What if my client doesn’t want to switch from Upwork or Fiverr?
That’s totally normal at first — but most clients are happy to save money and skip platform restrictions once they see how it works. Midcontract charges them just 1.9% (vs 5–10% on marketplaces), and there's no learning curve. We also provide familiar ready-to-send templates to help you make the switch smooth and convincing.
Do both parties need an account to start?
Only the person creating the contract needs to sign up. The other side can join with just a click via email or link.

" I no longer have to worry about delayed payments, and I love that I can receive both crypto and fiat. It’s a game-changer for anyone freelancing globally "

Sarah L.

Marketing Manager, USA

"We struggled with payment fraud and high fees on Upwork, having not enough protection. Midcontract’s escrow offered us total safety and helped cut our fees. The passive income from idle funds is just an added bonus that we’re waiting for."

Maria C.

Upwork agency owner, Philippines

"Paper contracts always left us vulnerable to payment delays and disputes. Moving our contracts to Midcontract has eliminated those risks. The platform’s escrow system locks in client funds before we even start the project, and we get paid instantly after approval."

Mykola P.

Software development agency owner, Ukraine

"I used to rely on traditional contracts, and getting paid often took weeks, with many follow-up emails to clients. After switching to Midcontract, everything changed. The escrow system ensures that funds are secured before I start the work, and payments are released as soon as my clients approve the project. I now spend less time chasing payments and more time delivering great work."

Rajesh S.

Full-stack engineer, India

"Fiverr worked well for me at first, but as I got bigger projects, the fees really started to hurt. Moving to Midcontract was a great decision. The fees are much lower, and payments come through almost instantly once the work is approved. The improved escrow system also makes my clients feel more confident, which helps me get more business."

Putri R.

Graphic designer, Indonesia
