How We Compare
Why professional freelancers are switching
Transparent Invoicing
Send branded invoices directly to your clients. They pay via Stripe — no middleman, no hidden fees, no platform taking a 20% cut before you see a cent.
Developer First
Track time from VS Code or JetBrains with our IDE extensions. Log hours without ever leaving your editor — something no marketplace can offer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move my Upwork clients to Time Nomad?
Yes! If you have a direct relationship with your clients outside of Upwork, you can invite them to pay via Time Nomad invoices. Simply create a client profile, set up your projects, and send them a professional invoice. Note: Upwork's terms prohibit soliciting their platform clients off-platform during active contracts.
Do you provide a freelancer marketplace?
No — and that's by design. Time Nomad is a business management tool, not a marketplace. We help freelancers who already have clients (or find them independently) manage their time, projects, and invoicing professionally. This means no race-to-the-bottom bidding and no platform lock-in.
