Updating Your Pricing
Your pricing is not fixed. As you gain experience, reviews, and a clearer sense of your market position, your rates should evolve. This page explains when and how to update them.
When to Update Your Pricing
→After your first 3–5 positive reviews — social proof justifies higher rates
→After completing a significant new project type that expanded your capabilities
→When every inquiry haggles you down to the same number — your price may be too low
→When no one reaches out — your price may be too high relative to your current trust level
→Annually at minimum — market rates shift
How to Update Your Pricing
- 1Go to the profile editor at /profile
- 2Navigate to the Pricing section
- 3Update your number, or switch to a different model — Free quote, Per job, Unit rate, or Monthly contract
- 4Click Save at the bottom of the editor — your pricing goes live immediately
Best Practice
Increase prices gradually rather than dramatically A 20–30% rate increase is easier for returning buyers to accept than doubling your rates overnight Update your FAQ answers when you change how you price your work
Important
Never update pricing without improving the profile to justify it. Higher rates require stronger trust signals. Before increasing prices, ensure your portfolio, reviews, and FAQs support the premium.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my pricing model (eg, from Unit rate to Monthly contract)?
Yes, from the profile editor at any time. Consider updating your FAQs to explain how you now price your work so returning buyers are not confused.
Should I switch to Free quote if a job is unusual?
Only if it happens often enough that your usual number no longer applies A missing price loses clicks, so keep a real “Desde” floor whenever you can and reserve Free quote for genuinely unpredictable work
