Transparent Pricing. No Hidden Fees.
We believe in fair pay and honest business. You negotiate the rate, and we keep the platform running.
How It Works
From quote to final payout, here's exactly what happens when you hire a technician through FindFST.
Technician quotes
Based on your mission brief, the technician submits a quote covering hourly rate, days on-site, travel, and other costs.
Review and negotiate
Review the quote in your mission chat. Request revisions, ask questions, or approve as-is.
Approve and set overage
On approval, choose your overage buffer (0 to 25%, default 10%). This covers legitimate scope creep without re-approval delays. Unused overage is refunded.
Pay into escrow
You pay the quote, overage, and 6% platform fee via Stripe. Funds are held securely. The technician isn't paid yet.
Work and timesheets
The technician performs the mission and logs daily timesheets in-platform. You see progress in real time.
Sign off and settle
On completion, you review and approve the final timesheet plus any additional costs. Funds release automatically based on actual hours worked and costs.
Invoice and reviews
Mission invoice and report are generated, and both parties are asked to review one another.
Disputes if needed
If any issues, cancellations, or changes arise, a dispute can be filed to resolve.
You Set the Rate
Unlike agencies that take a massive cut (often 30-50%), we step out of the way.
- Technicians propose their hourly rate.
- Companies agree or negotiate directly.
- 100% of the negotiated rate goes to the technician.
The Breakdown
To ensure secure payments and keep our servers running sharply, we apply two small fees on top of the transaction.
3% Stripe Fee
Standard payment processing fee to ensure secure, encrypted financial transactions for every mission.
3% Platform Fee
This sustains FindFST. It covers server costs, development, verification checks, and support to keep the platform sharp.
Example Transaction
* The technician receives the full $1,000. The company pays $1,060. Simple.
