💼 RateGuard is an AI copilot for freelancers who want to charge confidently and avoid bad clients before they cost time or money. It helps you estimate market-based rates by role, experience, and location, detect red flags from client messages/screenshots, and generate professional contracts in minutes. 🚩📄 Price smarter, protect your scope, and make safer yes/no decisions before every project. ✨
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m the maker of RateGuard, and I built this because I kept seeing freelancers lose money in the same two ways:
1) underpricing their work 😕
2) saying yes to the wrong clients 🚩
A lot of freelancers are great at the work itself, but pricing, client screening, and contract prep still feel stressful, inconsistent, and time-consuming. One bad project can cost weeks of energy, unpaid revisions, or delayed payments.
So I built RateGuard to help freelancers make better decisions *before* they commit. 🛡️
With RateGuard, you can:
• 💸 Check market-based rates by role, experience, and location
• 🚩 Analyze client messages/screenshots for risk signals and red flags
• 📄 Generate professional contracts faster to protect scope and payment terms
The goal is simple: help freelancers protect their income, confidence, and boundaries.
Less guessing. Less risk. Better decisions. ✅
We’ve launched on the App Store, and I’d genuinely love your feedback:
• Which feature would you use first?
• What freelancer niche should we optimize next (design, dev, writing, marketing, etc.)?
• What’s the biggest “bad client” red flag you wish you had caught earlier? 👀
I’ll be here all day replying to comments, answering questions, and collecting ideas for the roadmap.
Thanks so much for checking out RateGuard 🙏✨
