For the text above, please note that:

Users can post as many tasks as they need, however the posted jobs would still need to go through the moderation process before they can appear on the platform;
To protect users from spam, the specialist would not be able to respond to every single job at the platform (their response quotas would depend on the rating tier they are on);
We do not have any subscription fees as of today, but we do plan to introduce different plans at a later stage (however, the core features like free posting, free chat and no lead/success fees would remain);
