LinkedInWe Are the Fastlancers
Fastlancer is an independent platform that helps freelancers, the self-employed and small businesses find the right tools for their work.
It's run by two self-employed people from Berlin. We know the chaos of too many tools and interchangeable comparison lists firsthand. That's why Fastlancer exists: less searching, more focus.

We don't hands-on test every one of the 700+ tools here. Some we use daily, others we vet carefully from publicly available information: provider pages, pricing, user reviews and hands-on reports. Anything labelled "Recommended" we've either used ourselves or researched thoroughly.
We weigh usability, feature depth, value for money and provider trust. Some recommendations are affiliate links, which doesn't change the selection: if we don't like a tool, we don't recommend it.
