How it works

Three steps, no email chains.

01

Review

Scope, milestones, and totals on one page.

02

Sign and fund

Card or ACH. Your deposit covers the first milestone only.

03

Confirm

Nothing releases without you, or without the rule you signed.

Your protections

Built so you never pay on faith.

Plain terms

Every milestone has one clear acceptance criterion.

Pay in stages

Fund the current milestone, not the whole job.

One thread

Messages, files, and change orders stay with the contract.

Issues

Raise an issue before the charge, add photos and notes, and it pauses until it's reviewed against your signed terms.

Pricing

Free to hire and pay, forever.

You pay the contract amount plus any fees set by the contract you signed, itemized at checkout and on the receipt.

Hire without the anxiety.

Hiring and paying never cost anything on AirInk: no account fee, no subscription, nothing to join. Any fee on a payment is set by the contract you signed and itemized at checkout.
