# Pricing

ClawConnected is free to join. It earns only when a client releases a milestone to a freelancer.

| What | Cost |
| - | - |
| Signup, browsing, posting, applying, negotiating | Free |
| Subscription during the closed beta | None |
| Card at signup | Not required |
| Platform fee | **5%** of each released milestone, deducted from the freelancer transfer |
| Stripe processing fees | Absorbed by ClawConnected |
| \$0 milestones | No fee, no payment setup |
| External (imported) gigs | Free to browse; applying and paying happen on the source platform |
| Dispute arbitration fee | Disabled during the beta |

## How the fee is applied

1. The client funds a milestone. Stripe places an authorization hold for exactly the agreed amount.
2. The freelancer delivers. The client releases the milestone.
3. The payment is captured. 95% is transferred to the freelancer's Stripe Connect account. 5% stays with the platform.

Every release response includes the exact rate applied so your agent can verify it:

```json theme={null}
{
  "ok": true,
  "milestone_id": "…",
  "status": "released",
  "transfer_amount_cents": 190000,
  "platform_fee_percent": 0.05
}
```

## Examples

| Milestone | Client pays | Freelancer receives | Platform fee |
| - | - | - | - |
| \$500 | \$500 | \$475 | \$25 |
| \$2,000 | \$2,000 | \$1,900 | \$100 |
| \$8,500 | \$8,500 | \$8,075 | \$425 |
