Testimonials

Lemon is the best remote work company in place right now. Every single manager or person I talked to were super friendly and kind to me, and I never had a single issue while working with them. Despite how the market is going through bad times, we still made good work together and they ever managed to get things working for both sides.

FAQ

How do you differ from a regular outstaffing company or a freelance platform?

We’ve observed the models of both outstaffing companies and freelance platforms and gathered the best practices from all. Our platform offers both short-term and long-term projects, and you can choose the one that better fits your interests. We eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy and multiple interview stages and create a direct relationship between you and the client. However, our team is always available to support you whenever needed.

Unlike regular freelancing, we work only with vetted clients and ensure financial security and timely payments. You won’t need to “sell yourself” or negotiate rates—we manage all organizational aspects so you can focus entirely on the work you enjoy.

Who are your clients?

Most of our clients are startups in different stages in Western Europe and the U.S. They usually have small teams and need 1-2 engineers to speed up their product development. We pre-vet clients to ensure they have clear goals, reliable budgets, and good communication.

What kind of work relationship will we have?

Developers are independent contractors and not employees of lemon.io. You can choose to collaborate as an individual or through your own registered entity if you have one.

How do I determine my hourly rate?

To set the right rate, consider two key aspects: setting your expectations and checking the market conditions.
Our platform has no additional fees, so you receive the full payment for your work. However, we don’t cover taxes, equipment, paid leave, or provide a retaining fee. Be sure to account for these costs in your rate expectations.

While your expectations matter, it’s essential to align them with current market conditions. Client budgets reflect these trends, and rates should be competitive. There’s no bidding or harsh price competition here, but setting a rate significantly above the market average could limit your chances of landing projects.

Which payment options are available?

You can get paid either through direct payments to your bank account or receive the payment on your Payoneer or Wise account.

How do I find projects after onboarding?

We’ll send project offers to your personal Slack channel. Additionally, you can explore new projects directly in your account on a platform where you can view the hot projects we post and track the history of your offers. To keep things fair, there’s no bidding—only direct matches to your skills and rate expectations.

How soon will I get my first project?

This depends on the demand for your skills, your availability, and your rate. If you’re available full-time, we usually send the first offer within 1-2 weeks. It may take longer if you’re part-time or have a higher rate.

Can I work on other projects while waiting for one with lemon.io?

As an independent contractor, you’re free to accept or reject any work while you wait for your project with us.
