Freelance Copywriters:
Stop Guessing Rates in the AI Era

AI tools are flooding the market with $5 garbage. Submit anonymously → see what real pros charge & keep in 2026 (and arm yourself to charge more).

100% Anonymous

No names shared

Data aggregated only

Freelance pricing is broken because the data has always been private.
You're here to change that.

Building the benchmark

Rates become useful when there are enough people to compare. We open each market's benchmark when it reaches that point.

Share your rates. If your market is ready, you can compare them after you submit.

You're not alone, rates are under attack!

Add your rates and help make your market easier to see.

These benchmarks will be built from your submissions.

As more markets become ready, founding submitters get early access to those benchmarks.

What you'll see when you submit:

✓

Compare what you charge with copywriters in your market doing email, sales pages, SEO, ads, and website copy, once there's enough data.

✓

See what experienced freelancers are keeping after platform fees and overhead — not just charging

✓

Spot the rate compression happening across the market and where the floor is holding

How It Works

Three simple steps to fight rate compression together

Submit anonymously

2-3 min form—share your real rates and margins

We aggregate + anonymize

Your rates become part of the benchmark for your market

Your contribution is logged immediately

If there's enough data for your market, its benchmark is available after you submit. If not, it opens once enough submissions come in.

Your submission is 100% anonymous

Your specific rates are never disclosed — ever. But your data makes the collective benchmark more accurate, which makes every copywriter's negotiating position stronger. This is collective power without individual exposure.

Your email is never sold or shared with third parties. We will only contact you about the benchmark and related updates.
