Share a past project, sharpen the benchmark.

The more you tell us about one past project, the more useful the benchmark becomes for everyone pricing similar work. Only non-identifying values feed the benchmarks.

* required · everything else is optional but makes the data sharper

The project

What kind of work was it?*

Subcategory*

Narrows the benchmark a lot — a “Logo” and a full “Web App” shouldn't share a price band. Each category has an “Other” if nothing fits.

# of deliverables*

Our basic complexity signal — a 1-deliverable job and a 12-deliverable job aren't the same project.

Estimated hoursoptional

Pricing

What did you charge for the whole project?*

Converted to USD using fixed reference rates for benchmarking — your number isn't changed.

Pricing model*

Timeline

When did you complete it?*

Month and year is all we need. Recent projects guide current benchmarks; older ones feed trend research instead, so out-of-date prices are never shown as today's.

Duration (weeks)optional

You & the client

Where are you based?*

Your experience level*

Where was the client based?*

Client type*

Both countries matter — benchmarks calibrate on the freelancer↔client pair, not just one side.

Outcome

How did it end?*

Do not upload documents containing confidential client information, NDA-protected materials, trade secrets, or information you are not authorized to share.

Your email*

Kept separate from the benchmark data — we hold it only so you can ask us to remove your contribution later. It's never attached to the de-identified pricing numbers.

I confirm that I have the right to share this information and agree that Payo may use my submission for benchmarking, research, and product development purposes.

The project values you submit are aggregated and de-identified before they reach the benchmarks. This form is for your own past work — please don't include anything confidential, NDA-covered, or client-identifying. You can request removal anytime. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your submission and email.

Upload project files

Coming soon

Soon you'll be able to share briefs, proposals, or SOWs you're free to share. When this opens, you'll be asked to remove client-identifying details first, and to skip anything under NDA — we can't guarantee uploads are scrubbed.
