No Connects, no proposals

Upwork charges you to apply. Swipelancer lets you swipe — both sides express interest in the same currency: a tap.

Mutual matching

A match means both sides already said yes. You skip the entire pitch-and-pray phase.

Lower fees, no hidden line items

No service fee tiers, no Connect packs, no premium membership tiers required to be visible.

How matching works

  1. You sign up as a hirer or freelancer (free).
  2. You get a curated swipe feed of jobs or profiles.
  3. If both sides swipe right, the chat unlocks.
  4. You start the project — no proposals, no Connects, no bidding.
