Interesting that Product Design rates decrease for designers with more than 10 years experience as compared to those with 5-10 years. It's true regardless of geography. I wonder if that's due to ageism in tech.

@borisism I wonder if it's also because product design is also constantly changing? The designers I know with 10+ years were in management positions. I wouldn't be surprised if their portfolio is kind of outdated if they wanted to jump into freelance. Choosing where you fit in also might influence it. I put in my freelance rate but couldn't decide if I was product design, mobile design, or ui/ux.

Nice tool to help freelancers price themselves without screwing themselves over too much

This is AMAZING. I'm not only a freelancer, but also an Economics major that is researching the growing percentage of the U.S. population that is becoming self-employed. This is going to be very useful. However, I wish there was a way to ensure the data on here is legitimate.

I run a site that helps freelancers and one of the questions I get asked the most is, "How much do I charge?" Great to see a tool out there with realistic rates and what designers and developers are actually making. For many it will be a confidence boost to see what others are charging with the same experience as many, even experienced freelancers, have doubts and fears about the rates they charge (or should be charging).

@mattbrown Super useful. What is the approximate sample size for designers right now? Trying to get a sense of how many people weighed in with their freelance rates.

Nice tool with surprising insights. Poor designers :(

Great resource here. Would love to see you add videography rates as well @matttbrown. Overall, quick, fast and user friendly.

Great tool. I'm looking forward to seeing more countries, especially Japan, Singapore, Australia and the whole EU. Thanks for the great tool.

Great example of domain-specific crowdsourced data.

Really useful as someone just starting to do web freelance. It would be helpful to have combined design/dev stats (I do web design and development, for example)
