Simplifying our Product Lineup

If you’ve been taking part of Sollective’s mission to Prove the Real Value of Freelancers, you’ll know that the FreelanceOS initiative started as a single tool that we launched in 2022 to combat the growing trend of Freelancers’ contract worries by creating an easy to use tool that could generate a custom contract for any freelancers’ business.

We never expected to build an integrated suite of tools that encompasses Contracts, Invoices, Timesheets, Project and Client Management. To keep our product lineup simple and aligned with our FreelanceOS service, we’ll be making the following changes to the naming of Sollective’s services:

These additional features are part of a new paid Premium tier of FreelanceOS. For more details on Premium features and pricing, check out the FreelanceOS Pricing Page.

FreelanceOS Premium is Free for All Approved Sollective Members

Now that FreelanceOS is out of the beta phase, all of our users will retain completely free access to all core features of FreelanceOS for free as part of our commitment to improving Freelance in Japan.

Our Approved Freelancers on the Sollective platform are our core community that keeps pushing for a higher quality of work and careers. As a symbol of our commitment to our community, we’re making FreelanceOS Premium free for the duration of your Approved status on Sollective. That means that as long as your Approved status is maintained, you will be able to access unlimited contracts, invoices, and other Premium features for free.

For users who don’t wish to go through our Approval process, Premium will be available as a small monthly fee. Up until now, Sollective has not charged Freelancers for the use of our services, offering our tools for free.

Rest assured that the Free tier will be enough for many freelancers to get their businesses started and growing. However, the introduction of our Premium plan gives us the ability to continue investing in the development of free tools that offer immense business value for Freelancers in Japan, which no other company has done before.
