FAQs

How many freelancers are in the community?

While other platforms may boast about having thousands of creators in their talent network, we prefer to grow our community slowly with only the best creators being accepted.

We can confidently say that our community can cover all project types and spans all corners of the world.

Can I bring my own freelancer to PLAYE?

Yes! Many brands have trusted freelancers who they’ve used before. After inviting them to the platform, they’ll be saved in your PLAYEbook and accessible at any time.

In addition, when you bring your own creator to PLAYE, you’ll pay a lower fee on all projects with that freelancer.

How do you vet the freelancers?

PLAYE has implemented a rigorous vetting process, ensuring all creators meet high standards of experience and skill before granted access to our community.

All creators are legally compliant in accordance with local labour laws.

How do we engage with the freelancer?

Throughout the contract, you're able to engage directly with the freelancer through the PLAYE platform or directly via email or WhatsApp - these communications are integrated and sync into the platform for an audit trail.

How do freelancers get paid?

Brands will pay PLAYE for the services, and PLAYE then handles all payments to freelancers, paid the month following job completion or instant payment for a small fee, ensuring that freelancers are paid promptly and correctly every time.

What types of compliance and legal matters does PLAYE manage?

PLAYE handles all compliance matters, including tax, NDAs, and worker's compensation, mitigating the risk for brands.

What are your payment terms?

Unless otherwise agreed to by us in writing, our standard payment terms are 100% of the costs paid upfront, 30 days from the invoice date. This is to ensure fast payment to the freelancers, one of the many benefits of them working through PLAYE.

We accept credit card payments.
