How to hire a creator on PromptBase

Post a job and hire a PromptBase creator to write a custom prompt, build an app or do other AI work. Here's how posting, payment, escrow and refunds work.

Updated November 14, 2026

Can I hire someone to make a prompt for me?

Yes. You can post a job on PromptBase and have creators come to you, for anything from a custom prompt to an app, website or other AI project.

  1. You post a job describing what you need.
  2. Creators send you proposals with a cover letter and a price.
  3. You choose a creator and send them an offer.
  4. They accept, and the two of you get a shared workroom for the project.
  5. They deliver the work, you pay, and the contract ends.

How do I post a job?

Go to the hire page and choose to join as a client. A job post has a title, a description of the work, up to 3 skills it needs, and a budget.

Posting costs 10 credits, which the 10 free credits every account gets each month cover. A job post expires after 30 days without activity.

Should I pay a fixed price or by the hour?

You choose when you post the job.

  • Fixed price. You pay the amount into escrow, where PromptBase holds it, and release it to the creator when you're happy with the work. You can split a project into milestones and pay for each one separately.
  • Hourly. You agree a rate and a maximum number of hours a week. The creator logs their hours with a note of what was done, and each Monday you're invoiced for the hours logged the week before.

What does it cost to hire?

On top of what you pay the creator, there is a 5% marketplace fee on each payment, and a one-time $4.99 contract initiation fee when you start a contract with a creator.

For example, a $100.00 fixed price job costs $100.00, plus a $5.00 fee, plus $4.99.

How do I choose a creator?

Your hiring dashboard shows your job posts and everyone who has applied. You can read proposals, shortlist the ones you like, and message creators to ask questions or agree a price.

If there's someone you'd like to hear from, you can invite up to 10 creators to apply to each job.

When you've decided, send the creator an offer. For a fixed price job you fund the escrow to make the offer. For an hourly job you confirm the card your invoices are charged to. The contract starts once the creator accepts.

What is the workroom?

Every contract has a workroom that you and the creator share. It has:

  • A chat between the two of you
  • The milestones, and how much is in escrow
  • Where the creator submits work, and where you review it, request changes or release payment
  • The timesheet, on hourly contracts
  • A record of every payment

How long do I have to review the work?

14 days from when the creator submits it. In that time you can release the payment or request changes. If you do neither, the money in escrow for that milestone is released to the creator automatically.

Can I get a refund on a job?

Yes. You can request a refund from the workroom. The creator has 14 days to respond, and if they don't, the refund is approved automatically.

If the creator disputes the request, PromptBase reviews it and decides.

How do I end a contract?

Click End contract in the workroom. If there is still money in escrow, you choose whether to release it to the creator or request it back. You can then leave the creator a review.
