How it works

Cashflow without awkward client chasing.

DayRate sits quietly in the background. It helps you understand where your money is and gives you the option to access cash early when an invoice is eligible.

1

Connect your email

Use Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, or forward emails to DayRate. We look for invoices, POs, terms and payment confirmations.

2

Track every payment

See what is outstanding, expected, overdue and paid without digging through your inbox or spreadsheet.

3

Access money early

If the invoice and client history qualify, DayRate can offer part of your earnings before the client pays.

The plumber test.

You wouldn’t hire a plumber, let them fix your sink, then say: “Cool, we’ll pay you in 60 days.”

So why is that normal for freelance creatives?

The idea

Freelancers shouldn’t be the bank.

DayRate is built for creatives who value client relationships but still need clarity, control and better cashflow.
