Do contributors really keep 100% of their rate?

Yes. Unlike marketplaces that take a cut of freelancer pay, the 15% platform fee is paid by the employer on top of the rate. Contributors take home everything they quote.

How is Microployed different from Upwork?

Two things: contributors keep 100% of their rate, and onboarding is one click instead of a project. Microployed provisions their email alias, Slack invite, tool access, and agreements for you — and reverses it all just as fast when the engagement ends.

How fast can a contributor start?

Most founders meet their contributor within a week. Once you pick someone, onboarding onto your tools takes minutes: one click sets up their email alias, Slack invite, Notion, Figma, and GitHub access, plus the contractor agreement.

Who are the contributors?

Vetted fractional specialists — designers, developers, writers, analysts, marketers, and more — who work a few hours a month alongside their day jobs. Every profile is reviewed and identity-verified before it appears in the marketplace.

What happens when I pause or end an engagement?

Pause or end anytime from your dashboard. Access to your tools, email alias, and Slack channels is revoked automatically and billing stops. No awkward offboarding conversations, no lingering access.

Can I show my contributors on my website?

Yes. The Microployed widget embeds a live “Meet the team” section on your site that updates itself as people join or roll off. Contributors approve exactly how they appear.
