Introduction

In an era where freelancing is becoming increasingly significant, Another Works, a pioneering platform connecting freelancers with organizations, has launched its latest pricing guide for 2025. This guide aims to address the prevalent concerns regarding compensation transparency within the freelance and outsourcing sector, bridging the gap between individuals seeking freelance opportunities and companies or local governments hiring them.

Background and Growing Interest in Freelancing

The recent shifts in employment models, driven by both workforce diversity and labor shortages, have amplified interest in freelancing and contractual work. Since the introduction of its comprehensive matching platform 'Freelance Cloud' five years ago, Another Works has facilitated a notable growth spurt in freelance culture, boasting over 100,000 registered users and partnerships with 2,000 companies and 220 municipalities.

Despite this progress, the concern surrounding opaque compensation levels persists. Many freelancers often voice their uncertainties about whether the offered pay is fair, lack the data to negotiate wage increases, or are unsure how much to propose as first-time contractors.

According to a survey conducted by Another Works in February 2025, a staggering one in two respondents admitted they were unaware of the prevailing rates for services, highlighting a significant need for clearer information regarding freelance compensation.

The 2025 Pricing Guide

To tackle these challenges, Another Works compiled relevant data based on surveys of approximately 400 registered freelancers, alongside firsthand accounts from industry professionals. The resulting pricing guide presents meticulously categorized compensation levels for various job roles, ensuring transparency and clarity.

Many freelance roles are characterized by clearly defined tasks, allowing for thorough investigation into payment rates not just at a job level but down to specific tasks within those roles. The guide includes detailed pricing for various fields, including:
