02For Freelancers

Hand the backend to your client.

They pay. They own. You can keep building. Sandbox on Day 1. Card by Day 7. First charge stays on the original Day 30.

Coming soon in Console · Not a pricing plan · No commission

Own it, or hand it over.

Console will offer two create modes. Managed hosting is Own Project plus Teams. Freelance Project is always client-owned — no second “managed by me” branch.

Own Project

You stay owner and payer. Invite the client as Admin. Use this when you host for them.

Freelance Project

Always client-owned. You build in a sandbox. They accept, add a card, and take the bill.

Day 1 · Day 7 · Day 30.

  1. 01

    Start a Freelance Project

    Pick a template, name the project, choose the plan the client will pay, and send the client email. Apito provisions a bounded sandbox on Day 1.

  2. 02

    Client accepts by Day 7

    Client signs in, reviews identity, plan, price, Day-30 charge date, and cancellation terms, then adds a payment method.

  3. 03

    They own. You can keep building.

    Client becomes Primary Owner. You stay Project Admin unless they change that. First charge stays on the original Day 30.

Sponsored slots, not a freelancer SKU.

Client Handover is a feature of Free, Pro, and Enterprise. The client pays the plan you selected (Pro, Dedicated, or Enterprise quote). Accepted work counts on their workspace, not yours.

No commission. No white-label reseller SKU. Sandbox is bounded: one project, low limits, no SLA, no paid add-ons until they accept.

Not a project export.

Supabase-style transfer moves infrastructure between orgs. Client Handover keeps the database and endpoint in place and changes who owns billing. You stay Admin unless they remove you.

  • Ownership in place

    Primary Owner switches. Runtime does not move.

  • Client Billing

    Their card. Their workspace. Your slot frees.

  • One 30-day clock

    Accept never starts a fresh trial.

  • You can stay

    Project Admin after accept. They decide.

FAQ

Who pays?+

The client. After they accept, their workspace holds the Paddle subscription. Your sponsored slot frees. You do not stay on the bill.

Can the client remove me?+

Yes. They become Primary Owner on accept. You become Project Admin. They may keep, downgrade, or remove you anytime.

What if they ignore Day 7?+

The sandbox freezes. Public writes stop. Data stays recoverable for a documented window. Re-inviting does not reset the original 30-day clock.

Does accept start a new 30-day trial?+

No. Charge date stays the original Day 30 from sandbox creation. Accept on Day 7 leaves 23 days until first bill.
