The parts of getting paid nobody warns you about.

How we fix it

Every project shows its work and what's next. When a piece of work is done, Send invoice is right on its row.

What you keep

What a month of work leaves you.

Pick what you bill in a month and compare what you keep here, on Fiverr and on Upwork.

$1,000 a month

$250$10,000
  • CrushLabStudio

    $951.70

    After Stripe's fee and our $10 plan

  • Upwork

    Typical 10% fee

    $900.00

  • Fiverr

    20% seller fee

    $800.00

That's $151.70 more than on Fiverr and $51.70 more than with Upwork's typical fee, every month.

A month billed as one US card payment. Stripe's fee is 2.9% + 30¢ per payment, plus 0.4% for invoicing and 0.5% for sales tax where it applies. Fiverr charges sellers 20%. Upwork charges 0 to 15% depending on the contract; 10% is shown as typical. Our plan is a flat $10/month + tax, never a cut (its sales tax isn't in the totals), and your first 3 invoices are free.

Where your money goes

Your money never passes through us.

Clients pay into your own Stripe account. We send the invoice and get out of the way.

  1. Your client pays

    By card, on your payment page

  2. Your Stripe account

    The money lands in your account

  3. Your bank

    Paid out on Stripe's schedule

  • We never hold your money

    Payments go straight into your own Stripe account, and we never take a cut.

  • You stay in control

    Disconnect us from Stripe any time. Your clients and payment history stay with you.

  • Cards stay with Stripe

    Clients type their card into Stripe's secure form. It never touches our servers.

How it works

From finished work to paid, in four steps.

Set up once. After that, every finished job is one Send invoice away.

  1. 01

    Connect Stripe

    Use the Stripe account you already have, or create one in the same step. Payments go to your own Stripe account and out to your bank, never through us.

  2. 02

    Add a client and the work

    A project with milestones, or a retainer that sends a new invoice every week, month, quarter or year. Everything for a client lives on one page.

  3. 03

    Send the invoice when the work is done

    When a milestone is done, press Send invoice. You see the amount and who it goes to before it's sent and pick when it's due, and if you collect sales tax, Stripe Tax works out the amount.

  4. 04

    Your client pays. You get paid.

    They get a clean invoice by email with your name on it, and replies go to your support email. They pay by card, no sign-up, and it's marked Paid on its own.

Questions

Subscribe for $10/month + tax to keep sending invoices. Sales tax is added where it applies, and checkout shows the exact total before you pay. Retainer renewals never use up your free invoices.

No. Brands and clients pay you through your own Stripe account and the money goes straight to you. On each payment you pay only Stripe's standard processing fees. Our only charge is the flat $10/month + tax plan.

Yes. Add the brand as a client and each video as a line with its price. When a video is approved, press Send invoice and the brand gets an invoice for that video by email and pays by card. Want a deposit before you film? Add it as its own line and send that first.

Yes. Set it up once on the brand's page (weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly) and a new invoice is emailed each period. The brand pays each one by card; it isn't charged automatically. Pause or cancel it anytime, and renewals never use up your free invoices.

Once you bill more than about $167 a month, yes. Fiverr charges sellers 20% of every order. Upwork charges 0 to 15% depending on the contract, typically about 10%. Say you bill $1,000 in a month and a US client pays it by card. On Fiverr, you keep $800. On Upwork, usually about $900. Here, you keep $951.70 after Stripe's standard fee and our $10 plan (plus any sales tax on the plan), because clients pay into your own Stripe account and we never take a cut. Below about $167 a month, Upwork's typical fee costs less than our plan.

No. They get your invoice by email and pay by card on your payment page. No sign-up, no app.

Not yet. CrushLabStudio is for businesses in the United States billing clients in the US. Prices and payments are in US dollars, and each client needs a US address.

No. Create your account and send your first 3 invoices free. You only add a card when you subscribe.
