Reach experts while they compare software
Freelancers and small businesses rarely choose a tool on the first vendor website they visit. They compare alternatives, pricing and fit — then make a decision.
Fastlancer puts your product in that comparison moment: in relevant categories, on comparison pages and in editorial guides.

Suggest a tool
We are glad to look at suggestions, and we give no guarantee. If your tool fits what our readers need, we get in touch.
- Serious enquiries and real use cases only — generic AI-written pitches are not read
How placements work
Fastlancer remains editorially independent. Paid packages provide visibility and listing services — never a guaranteed rating, ranking, traffic volume or conversion rate.
We only accept tools that are relevant for freelancers and small businesses. If a tool is not a fit, we refund the booking before publication.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost?
Flat rates are listed in the packages above: Verified Listing €39 one-time, Featured Category €39/month, Sponsored Review €590, plus German VAT where applicable. Suggesting a tool for editorial review is free. For custom formats (homepage, deals, campaigns), message us directly.
How can I pay?
By credit card or PayPal (Stripe checkout), or via classic invoice and bank transfer. Monthly packages run as subscriptions cancellable monthly. Details in the Partner Terms.
How fast will I be live?
Featured slots and verified badges within days after onboarding; sponsored reviews within 1–2 weeks. We commit to a date in the onboarding email.
Do paid reviews get a better rating?
No. We name strengths and weaknesses regardless of whether money changed hands. Paid
links carry an asterisk and rel="sponsored", paid listings carry the Verified badge.
Do you list every tool?
No. The tool has to fit our audience — freelancers, the self-employed, and small businesses. You can suggest any tool for free by email — inclusion remains an editorial decision. For paid bookings: if your tool is not a fit, we refund before publication, with an explanation.
Can I submit my tool myself?
Yes, in two ways. Free: email us via Suggest a tool — we take a look and get in touch if it fits. There is no guarantee, and we do not read generic, AI-written pitches. Or with the Verified Listing (€39 one-time): you book first, submit your details via a short form (link in the confirmation email), we review editorially and list your tool with the verified badge — if it's not a fit, we refund with an explanation.
