Simple, Transparent Pricing.

No subscriptions. No hidden fees. You only pay when work happens.

Agencies charge $200–$400/hr with long contracts and change orders. Generic marketplaces create bidding chaos and unclear accountability. MustertheForce charges a simple platform fee — providing escrow protection, milestone control, dispute resolution, and the MTF Shield.

Enterprise-Grade
IP Protection

For projects involving proprietary data, confidential architecture, or sensitive business processes.

NDA Enforcement

Forces must accept a legally binding NDA before they can even request access to your project. Every acceptance is permanently recorded with a timestamp. Use our standard mutual NDA or upload your own.

Gated Proposal Access

You control who sees your project. After NDA acceptance, Forces request access. You review their certifications, track record, and ratings before granting entry. Only approved Forces can submit proposals.

Confidential Document Sharing

Upload schema diagrams, requirements docs, data dictionaries, and other sensitive materials. Confidential files are only visible to Forces you have explicitly approved.

How Escrow Works

Every Payment Is Protected

01

Force proposes milestones

When submitting a proposal, the Force breaks the project into 2–5 milestones with deliverables and amounts.

02

Client funds the first milestone

Payment goes into escrow — the Force can see it's secured but can't withdraw until work is approved.

03

Work, deliver, approve

The Force delivers, the client reviews. Up to 2 revision rounds per milestone. Approved work releases payment.

04

Progressive funding

Each subsequent milestone is funded and released the same way. The client always pays before work begins on each phase.

Scout, Recon & Consultations

Scout is a flat $79 for clients — pay once, get your Scout Report. Recon is a flat $5 for Forces — diagnostic interview, AI prompt, checklist. Both have no escrow, no milestones. 1:1 Consultations are escrow-protected per session.

Example

$5,000 Project

Client Pays
Project price$5,000.00
Service fee (3%)$150.00
Total charged$5,150.00
Force Receives
Project price$5,000.00
Platform fee (15%)−$750.00
Net payout$4,250.00

Stripe processing (~2.9% + $0.30) is absorbed into the above fees — no extra charges.

Cancellation Policy

If a client cancels before the Force starts work, a 5% cancellation fee applies — 60% goes to the Force for their time, 40% to the platform. Once work begins, funds stay in escrow until the milestone is completed or a dispute is resolved.

Your Fee Gets Better

The MTF Shield

MustertheForce is an execution platform, not a staffing agency. We don't guarantee project completion — we guarantee you are never left alone. If any party fails their obligations, MTF intervenes, mediates, and exhausts every available remedy. Your investment is protected. Your Force is protected.
