I pay 0% in freelancer fees on Direct Contracts because I subscribe to Freelancer Plus. If I cancel the membership, what happens?

If you cancel your Freelancer Plus membership, you’ll lose the 0% freelancer fee benefit on Direct Contracts and start paying the standard 5% fee on any existing and new ones.
For existing contracts, don’t worry—there’s no retroactive charge. You’ll only see the fee applied after your membership ends.
And just a quick reminder:

  • Hourly Direct Contracts bill on Mondays
  • Fixed-price Direct Contracts are billed whenever your client releases a milestone or full payment
