What is blakebill?
blakebill lets you set your price, share your work, and get paid—perfect for freelance videographers, coders, designers, music producers, pretty much any creative professional.
Problem
Freelancers (videographers, coders, designers, etc.) rely on platforms requiring upfront payments or subscriptions to share files, leading to payment barriers for clients and mandatory downloads that complicate access to their work.
Solution
