Committed at signing. Released on delivery.

The moment a deal is signed, the Client's payment moves into secure holding — out of their hands, but not yet in the Provider's. It stays with Stripe® until the work is delivered and approved. Neither side has to take the other's word for anything.

For the Provider
Payment is committed before the work begins — a Client who can't pay can't sign
Approved work pays out instantly — not net-30, net-60, or "next billing cycle"
No invoices, no reminders, no collections — deliver to the terms and the funds are already waiting
For the Client
You're dealing with a verified identity and a track record — not a username
Payment releases only after you confirm the work matches the agreement
And if it doesn't, Release AI rules on it — based only on the agreement and the evidence — while payment stays secured

If it ever comes to that.

It reads the evidence. All of it.

Photos, videos, receipts, documents — Release AI examines every file, down to the timestamps and location data. And because the Deal Room is the official record of the deal, the conversation itself is evidence too.

Rulings with reasoning, in minutes.

Each side states its case once. Every claim is weighed against the signed agreement — not against who argues loudest — and the decision arrives in plain language, with the reasoning spelled out and the funds distributed accordingly.

Want a human? Appeal.

Either party can request a Release Human Resolution Specialist — an independent reviewer who examines the full case without seeing Release AI's ruling, and issues the final decision.

Final Ruling
$450 released to you
The client disputed that the faucet installation and under-sink repair were finished properly, but the photos and video walkthrough show the work matches the signed scope, with no leaks. Based solely on the agreement and the evidence submitted.
Human specialist review is a paid add-on. The fee is refunded if the human ruling differs materially from Release AI's.

Built on trust.

Verified by stripe®

Every member verifies their identity through Stripe® before their first deal — so the name on the contract is always the person you're dealing with.

Trust score

Members are rated after every closed deal. The score and deal count travel with you — so a reputation on Release is earned, not claimed.

Dispute rate

The share of a member's deals that ended in a formal dispute. It follows you forever — the politest way we know to tell you who's difficult before you find out yourself.

Second wedding season on Release. The client signs, the money's already secured, and I stop thinking about it. The gallery went out on a Thursday night — payment landed Friday morning. I haven't sent an invoice in over a year.

A client swore I never finished their deck. I'd uploaded progress photos the whole way — timestamped, straight from my phone. Release AI read the contract, went through every file, and ruled in a couple of minutes. Fairest shake I've ever gotten. Document your work — it pays on here.

Found a mobile detailer in a neighborhood group. Never met the guy — but a high score across thirty-odd deals and a low dispute rate tells you plenty. My money didn't move until I'd walked around the car.

I sell custom cakes on weekends. Deposits used to be Venmo and good intentions. Now there's a real contract, and the money's secured before I preheat the oven. Nine deals in, zero drama so far.

Sublet my parking spot to a complete stranger for the summer — contract done on my phone in about a minute. The dispute rate is the first thing I check on anyone. It tells you exactly who's going to be a headache before you sign.

Three logo concepts, two revisions, $500 — all in the deal before I ever opened Illustrator. When the client wanted a fourth concept, I didn't have to argue about it. We countered inside the app, agreed on a price, done.
