How the fee works
You only pay when you get paid.
You agree on milestones
The client and freelancer agree on the amount and scope for each milestone before work starts.
Funds sit in a secure escrow account
The client's payment is held safely until the milestone is delivered and approved. No fee is taken at this point.
The fee applies only on release
When the client approves and the milestone pays out, Future Disha's 5–8% fee is deducted from the freelancer's side — the client still pays exactly the agreed amount.
No payout, no fee
If a milestone is disputed, cancelled, or never approved, no fee is ever charged — Future Disha only earns when a freelancer actually gets paid.

Optional add-ons.
None of these are required to use Future Disha — they're there if you want them.
| Add-on | Price | Billing | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
Skill assessment | From ₹99 | One-time | Pass a skill test to earn a verified badge and rank higher on jobs in that category. |
Portfolio verification | ₹99 | One-time | A human reviewer checks your portfolio and, if it's genuinely yours, awards a Portfolio Verified badge that ranks you above unverified freelancers. |
Payment Protection* | From ₹49 | Per job, one-time | Opt in to secure a job’s payment. If the client never pays for work you delivered under the signed contract, the covered amount is made good. Fee scales with the amount covered (1.5–3%). |
All-tools plan | ₹499 | Per month | Every tool on Future Disha — proposal drafting, invoicing, CRM, analytics — for one flat price. |
Skill test prices vary by category and are set per test — ₹99 is the typical starting price. See current skill tests.
* Payment Protection cover is provided by the insurance partner named on the policy, not by Future Disha. A claim is paid only after verification that the services were actually provided, and only up to what the contract signed by both the freelancer and the business owner says. Full terms.
Pricing questions, answered.
Everything about fees, add-ons, and billing — in one place.
No. Creating an account, building a profile, posting a job, and browsing the directory are all completely free for both freelancers and businesses.
No. Future Disha's fee is charged only to freelancers, only on paid milestones. A business pays exactly the amount they agree with the freelancer — nothing added on top.
No fee is ever charged on a milestone that doesn't get paid. Future Disha only earns a fee when a freelancer actually receives a payout.
The fee is a flat 5–8% on every paid milestone, with no separate tiers based on how much you earn — one clear number, not a sliding scale that increases as you grow.
Yes. It's a simple month-to-month plan — cancel whenever you like and you won't be billed for the next cycle.
No. Once your skill assessment is passed or your portfolio is approved, the badge stays on your profile — neither one is a temporary purchase like a listing boost. There's no way to pay for placement on Future Disha; ranking is earned, not bought.
Yes. If you add your GSTIN to your profile, invoices generated on Future Disha are GST-compliant automatically — no separate accounting tool needed.
