Looks like a solid platform. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's essentially putting the power in the freelancers hands, by allowing them to maintain their branding and their own business. But in exchange they are finding their own work and are independent as opposed to on a marketplace like Upwork. In contract, marketplaces like Upwork actually help you find and apply to new projects and give you some of these same management tools, but they take a percentage of your earnings.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 When we launched last time, we were scrappy and had incomplete features, PH and a hacker news discussion revealed a lot of what we were missing. As @bentossell mentioned, it was a lot of $$ to signup for. Now after months of hard work, we're super excited to introduce Sieve 2.0 🚀 –– a complete platform for running your freelance business — without paying a percentage of your earnings. We power the backend of your business, while you run the show. From the point your client makes contact, all the way up to project delivery and payments, we streamline and help you manage the complete workflow — Client on-boarding, NDAs, Estimations, Agreements, Invoicing and payments. We only charge a fixed monthly fee, all features included.. in a simple, streamlined flow 🙌 🖥 Everything starts with YOUR website — Get your free personal website. 📝 Getting requirements over the phone and via email is a mess. We help you ask the right questions and be brilliant with your clients. 📄 Auto-generated standard agreements, which you can edit. Secured with legally valid digital signatures. 💰 Invoicing and Payments from clients to your bank account in seconds. We don’t hold your payments. ☎️ Message your clients, send files, or hop on a video call right inside the platform. 👨‍💻 Looking for leads? We have high quality leads prospected by our leads team. Get new work every week without getting your hands dirty. On top of that end-to-end, 360-degree support, we put you front and center - your clients will know they're working with *you*, not a third party or freelancing platform... and we do all of this without pocketing a huge percentage of your earnings, as we've seen others in the space do. When your clients choose to work with you, they're not settling for anything less than the best -  you deserve the same treatment, and Sieve is here to make that happen. When we say we listened to the PH community and adapted Sieve accordingly, we meant it; we wouldn't be here without you, and as a token of our appreciation, the first 100 community members to sign up with promo code "SieveLovePH" will get: 1. A free month to try Sieve! 2. $29/month thereafter, discounted from our standard rate of $49/month 3. If interested, a free consulting/onboarding/strategy session with one of our Sieve experts, to help you hit the ground running! — Sanjay and everyone at Sieve 🎉 👬👫👬👭👬

How come your homepage says "*NO CREDIT CARD REQUIRED TO SIGNUP" but you need to enter card details to start the free trial? There's no point in signing up only to see a model requesting card details. I think your wording should be clearer… or don't require card details for the free trial ;)

I'd love to use this. Was looking for something like this. What kind of payment integrations do you have?

Hi Sanjay/ Arun, Congrats on the launch. Looks sleek than the previous version, excited to try 😄

It looks neat. -So if I'm someone who's looking to hire a freelancer, where do I post my requirements ? Or does it have to initiated by the freelancer ? -Do you handle disputes? -How many leads would I be getting a month if I sign up ?

Excited to try the second version! Congrats guys!

I was looking for something similar for the freelancers working for me and stumbled upon Sieve. The previous version was not very intuitive and really look forward to try this one.

Pros:

UI and Ease of On boarding

Cons:

None

alright this is great but why can't i login? it keeps redirecting me back to the home page

Sounds a really interesting product, and all credit to you for developing it further based on previous feedback. Some thoughts that may increase free signup conversions further: - I was unsure about the free website - what if you already have one, and how much control do you have over the free website you get? Would be useful for a link to a separate page that went through how all that works. - The images for startup school, draper etc. are poor and contrast from the rest of the page which is clean and crisp - In the 'Streamlined process for your clients' bit, like that you can click on the right to get different images reflecting the process, but I kind of found it was clickable by accident, I didn't expect it to be - so something that helps visitors know they can click would be good, and would be good to click on the tilted images to see the full image without a tilt so you can look at the interface properly (that's what I wanted to do) - You're likely to get more sales via a tiered pricing structure, e.g. a starter level at sub $20 perhaps with a few features, allowing people to test it out more, but upgrade for things like leads Just some further ideas... love the concept, congrats!

It looks interesting from the photos but I'm not willing to give my credit card info before I even get to demo. I would prefer that the system lock me out after a trial run or something before requesting my credit card information.

it seem like no option to cancel the account

A little late to the party but congratulations ! I noticed a typo [0] on your website & the welcome email [1] is missing a boiler plate / lorem ipsum replacement but looks like a big update from 1.0. Will check it out! [0]: https://cl.ly/459b8c594c61 [1]: https://cl.ly/5b1758c56b05

Send in email ask for refund and no reply.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Not reply support email.
