Proposing on briefs
Companies post briefs; you pitch back with a real proposal. No bidding wars.
What a brief looks like
A brief is a company-described problem with optional budget hint, AI-tool keywords, and deadline. Find them at /gigs. Native Spruvly briefs use the proposal flow; aggregated briefs (imported from external job boards) redirect to the source.
What a proposal looks like
- Approach (30-4000 chars) — how you'd solve it. Tools, timeline, your read on the problem.
- Fixed price (€50-€50,000) — what you charge total.
- Duration (1-26 weeks) — your honest estimate.
Prerequisites
- Verified email.
- Stripe Connect enabled on /dashboard/funding. Without it, companies can't accept your proposal — money has nowhere to go.
- One proposal per brief; you can withdraw and resubmit while it's pending.
After you submit
Company sees your proposal alongside others. Accept → contract created → company opens Stripe Checkout → on success, payment lands on your connected account minus Stripe's processor fee and Spruvly platform fee (0% until 2027).
Decline → marked declined, you can propose on other briefs.
0% commission
Until 2027-01-01, Spruvly takes 0% on brief payments. You keep 100% of what the company pays. Stripe's processor fee (~2.9% + €0.25) still applies — passed through to payer transparently. See Fees.
