Frequently asked questions
How much will my project cost?
The cost of each project will vary depending on the type of freelancer you need, the experience level you require, and the project specification. Freelancers will pitch you quotes based on your project description.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit and debit cards. Invoiced billing can be arranged on Twine Business or Enterprise accounts which can be paid by wire transfer, SEPA or Faster Payments (UK).
Can you hire a freelancer on a day rate or hourly rate?
Yes, you can hire a freelancer on hourly or day rates. State your preference within your project brief, and agree a rate with your chosen freelancer. Your freelancer can then bill you on Twine and attach a timesheet so you can see the hours they worked.
How quickly can I hire someone?
For popular projects like logos, simple graphic design and music production you can expect freelancers to pitch in within 24 hours. For higher demand roles, like developers or UX designers, it may take over 24 hours before freelancers start contacting you.

What is the Service fee?
To help Twine run smoothly and to cover the costs of the services we provide, such as 7 days a week customer support, we charge a service fee when a hire is confirmed.
The service fee is a sliding fee based on the lifetime payments to a freelancer on a project. The Service fee reduces the more payments you make to a freelancer:
• 20% on payments up to $1,000
• 10% on payments $1,000 to $10,000
• 5% on payments over $10,000
For large projects see our Twine Enterprise offering.
How does payment work?
To secure a freelancer for work, you'll be asked to make an initial upfront payment. Either pay the full value of the project quoted by the freelancer, or agree a milestone schedule and pay smaller amounts incrementally.
What if the project does not work out?
In the rare event a project doesn’t work out, we’ll refer to your agreed terms with the freelancer. If they’ve failed to deliver as promised, we’ll refund your upfront payment.
