How a contract flows

Every rupee has a clear next step

Like a deployment pipeline: nothing moves to the next stage until the previous one passes.

  1. stage 1

    Hire

    Order a gig, or post a job and accept a proposal. Split larger work into up to 5 milestones.

  2. stage 2

    Fund

    Pay the milestone by Raast QR, JazzCash or Easypaisa. It’s held in escrow — the freelancer can see it, not touch it.

  3. stage 3

    Build & deliver

    The freelancer delivers code, builds or access notes on the contract page, with every message on record.

  4. stage 4

    Review

    Approve, ask for a revision, or open a dispute. No answer in 7 days? It auto-releases.

  5. stage 5

    Release

    The freelancer receives the payment minus a 10% platform fee, cleared after a short holding period.

Gigs

Fixed-price packages

All gigs

The first gigs are on their way

We list a gig only after our team has reviewed it and verified the freelancer’s identity — so this space starts empty rather than filled with made-up examples. Developers who join now are the first ones clients see.

Why Rivernet

Built to be checked

Real, verified people

Profiles are reviewed by a person; identities are checked against CNIC documents and screening lists. Nothing here is seeded.

Escrow per milestone

Each payment is held for its own milestone and released only by approval, auto-release or a written dispute decision.

Fees in plain words

One platform fee for freelancers (10%), shown before you start. See every fee.

Fair disputes

We read the brief, the messages and the delivered files, then release, refund or split — and explain why.

Security first

Two-factor sign-in, encrypted identity documents, and withdrawals confirmed with a one-time code.

Refunds to source

Money still in escrow goes back to the account you paid from. No store credit, no runaround.

Questions

Frequently asked

What kind of work can I hire for on Rivernet?

Software and IT work: websites and web apps, mobile apps, DevOps and cloud, QA and testing, IT support and networking help, and data and AI engineering. See the categories — other work isn’t allowed, and neither are prohibited services such as hacking or account “recovery”.

How do I know a freelancer is real?

Before anyone can sell on Rivernet our team reviews their profile and checks their CNIC and a selfie, and their payout account must be in their own name. Ratings only come from completed, paid contracts on Rivernet.

When does the freelancer get paid?

When you approve a milestone. If you don’t respond to a delivery within the auto-release period shown on the fees page, it is released automatically. If something is wrong, ask for a revision or open a dispute before approving.

Can I get my money back?

Money still held in escrow can be refunded to the account you paid from — for example if the freelancer can’t do the work, or by a dispute decision. Approved milestones are final. See the Refund Policy and Dispute Policy.

What does Rivernet charge?

Posting jobs is free. Freelancers pay a platform fee on each payment released to them. Every fee is on the fees page, generated from our live settings.

Who owns the code a freelancer writes for me?

Unless your contract says otherwise, the rights in work you have paid for pass to you when the milestone is released. Agree licensing for any third-party libraries or paid components in the contract messages.
