Work Your Way With Agreements on SkillUpWork

Choose the right way to work, collaborate, and get paid — with agreements designed for flexibility, clarity, and protection.

📝
Fixed-Price Agreements

Perfect for clearly defined projects or training sessions.

Best for:
  • ✔ One-time tasks
  • ✔ Specific deliverables
  • ✔ Predefined scope & timeline

You and the expert agree on a set price before work begins.
Clients only release payment after approving the completed work.

⏱
Hourly Agreements

Ideal for ongoing or evolving tasks where time varies.

Best for:
  • ✔ Long-term ongoing work
  • ✔ Maintenance & support
  • ✔ Consulting or coaching hours

Professionals log hours, and clients only pay for verified time worked.

🎓
Session-Based Agreements

Great for training, workshops, and coaching sessions.

Best for:
  • ✔ Online/onsite training
  • ✔ Corporate workshops
  • ✔ One-on-one coaching

Clients book individual sessions or packages — payment released after completion.

📅
Milestone-Based Agreements

Ideal for larger or multi-stage projects.

Best for:
  • ✔ Multi-phase development
  • ✔ Long courses or multi-module training
  • ✔ Step-by-step deliverables

Break your project into milestones. Pay as each stage is completed and approved.

🤝
Recurring Agreements

Perfect for monthly or ongoing needs.

Best for:
  • ✔ Monthly maintenance
  • ✔ Weekly coaching programs
  • ✔ Long-term team extensions

Set a schedule — weekly, biweekly, or monthly — with automatic payments.
