AirInk vs. the old way
The old way separates the promise, the proof, and the payment. AirInk keeps them in one accountable flow.
Contracts, proof, and payment. All in one place.
The old way
The agreement, messages, proof, and payment live in different places.
Context gets lostSend an invoice after the work and start another round of follow-up.

Photos, signatures, decisions, and payment events stay attached to the milestone they explain. AirInk preserves the record without promising an outcome it cannot control.

You talk to one assistant, not a fleet of bots. Inko understands the job, directs the right specialist arm, and brings the decisions back to you in one clear brief.
Your morning brief
Every morning, in your own timezone, Inko reads your shared record and writes one brief. Quiet day, no email. Inko drafts; you approve. It never charges on its own, and it sends nothing on its own unless you switch sending on. Scheduled charges and their reminders run only on the schedule your client signed.
What settled overnight, gross, straight from the client's card to you
Anything open, the amount at stake, and how long you have to send evidence

Payments settle from your client's card straight to your account. AirInk never holds the money.
You already run a business that only gets paid when the work is done. Your software finally works the same way.
No subscription, no monthly minimum, and nothing to pay until a payment is released. Bank transfers are included in the AirInk fee; card payments add card processing as its own line.
Bank transfer processing is included in the AirInk fee, so this is the whole cost of the payment.
Every line above is itemized on the receipt.
We make money when we are helping you make money, and it is itemized on every receipt.
Verified before payout. Document and selfie KYC through Stripe Identity before the first payout.
MFA on instant payouts. Moving money out early requires a fresh second factor, every time.
Row-level security. Every record is scoped to its owner, enforced database-side.
No. AirInk never holds the money. Each payment moves through Stripe under the release rule both sides signed, and on release Stripe pays the side getting paid directly on its standard payout schedule. AirInk is not a bank.
One main way: the platform fee of 0.49% plus $2.49 when a payment releases to the side getting paid. No subscription, no seat fees, no charge for the agents, no minimum. Hiring, paying, and coordinating are free: nobody pays AirInk to use AirInk unless they are the one getting paid. Two optional extras exist and both are skippable: instant payouts have their own posted fee, and extra AI renders past the monthly allowance are a one-time top-up you choose. That is the end of the list.
Because they agreed to exactly that, in writing. At signing, the client authorizes their saved payment method for the specific schedule in the contract: the amounts, the triggers, and the confirmation window are all in the document they signed. Every charge follows that authorization through Stripe; nothing charges outside it.
The charge retries on a set schedule, your client gets a secure link to update their payment method, and you see the payment status the whole time. No awkward call from you; the system does the chasing.
The window starts when you mark the work complete. Your client can confirm early, raise an issue that pauses the charge while you two resolve it, or do nothing; when the window closes with no issue raised, the milestone charges exactly as signed.
Inko never charges or signs on its own, and it sends nothing on its own unless you switch sending to automatic. Agents draft and suggest, and new work starts at the approval card. Scheduled charges and retries follow the schedule your client signed.
AirInk gets paid when you do. No payment, no fee.
