How does Ruul work for freelancers?

You create an invoice and send your client a payment link. Your client pays through the link without signing up. After payment, Ruul settles the transaction, issues a business-ready invoice to your client, and you receive the funds within 1 business day.

Ruul is for freelancers and independent professionals providing digital or knowledge-based services who need a simple way to invoice clients and get paid.

Are there any restricted countries or industries?

Yes. Freelancers and businesses based in countries restricted under FATF guidelines are not supported. In addition, certain industries such as gambling, betting, and other regulated activities are not allowed. Some services that require specific licenses or regulatory approval may also be restricted.

What does my client see?

A business-ready invoice from Ruul with full company details and your service on it, plus a link to pay by card or bank transfer. They don't need a Ruul account.

How much does it cost?

5% per paid invoice. No setup cost, no monthly fee. Crypto payouts add 1.5% and Early Pay adds 3.5%, only when you use them.

Is Ruul a job platform?

No. Ruul doesn't find clients for you. It's for freelancers who already have clients and want to invoice them and get paid.

What do I need to get started?

An email address to sign up. Before your first payout, you verify your identity with a valid ID.

When exactly do I get paid?

Within one business day after your client's payment reaches Ruul. Weekends and public holidays aren't business days.
