Built for independents
who take the work seriously.
The platforms you've used were built for buyers. AE Studio is built for both — and unapologetically tilted toward the people doing the work.
Lower fees that compound
12% service fee — vs 20%+ elsewhere. After 5 projects with the same client, fees drop to 7%. We win when you do.
Curated demand, not bidding wars
Briefs come to your inbox, not a public bid pile. You see fewer, better opportunities — and never compete against 200 strangers.
Real protection from day one
Stripe Connect escrow, NDA defaults, IP transfer documented, scam shield on every conversation. Your work is protected end-to-end.
Built-in tooling, no extras
Brief templates, scoping AI, contract automation, milestones, invoicing. The boring parts, automated.
