Simple pricing. Unbeatable value.

Your dollar goes further when you hire on Chatty. Work with a single freelancer as you need them, supercharge your content team with expert writers and editors, or build an entire publishing team for a fraction of agency costs.

About our pricing

Cut-rate ain't our thing.

We don’t have standard rates on Chatty. Instead, we give you the freedom to build a custom package that works for your budget, and provide straightforward pricing suggestions to help you along based on our experience quoting hundreds of projects for dozens of clients.

Freelancers set their own rates and keep 100%. You can assign each project to a single freelancer, or work with multiple contributors (say, a writer and an editor) to make your words shine.

Clients see the all-in price up front for each project based on your business vertical, and you'll only pay when you start working with a freelancer you love. Easy.

Match with editorial experts within a few hours.
Match with editorial experts in just a few hours. No more time wasted scouring pitches or interviewing freelancers.
Pay-as-you-go flexibility. Zero commitment.
Build your Crew with zero risk, zero minimums, and zero long-term commitment. Pay only for the projects and talent you need, when you need them.
Review and approve every project risk-free.
Payment is held in escrow until you approve the work. And if  you're not happy, get a full refund of your project fee — no questions asked.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Fine print to make your print fine.

Transparent upfront quotes and easy per-project pricing. No surprises.

How do I start a project?

Start a project and match with your Crew Member by clicking the button below. We'll ask a few details about your business and project. Then we'll match you with one of our editorial experts who will get in touch via email.

How much does it cost?

On-demand projects are quoted upfront, so there's never any surprises. If you need a lot of editing, you can also sign up for our monthly content editing subscription.

Who'll be editing my writing?

We work with a crew of carefully-vetted expert editors that can help with everything from structural improvements to voice and tone to copyediting. Whatever you need to bring your stories to life, we can help.

How long will it take to get my edits back?

It depends on the project. Most small projects (like blog post editing) take only a day or two after accepting your quote. Larger projects (think ebook editing) take longer, and some projects are ongoing. Your Crew Member will give you a transparent quote upfront with an estimated delivery date, so there's never any surprises.

What if I'm not happy with my edits?

That's OK—not every match works out! You always have the option to request a new editor for any project. And if you're still not happy after getting the project back, you can request a full refund within 3 days—no questions asked.

I want to order a lot of projects.

That's not even a question! Professional publishers, agencies, content teams and freelancers can upgrade to Chatty Enterprise to unlock unlimited team members, flexible billing options, and custom publication profiles. To find out more about Chatty Enterprise, book a free demo.
