How We Make Money (Transparently)

We're building a sustainable business without exploiting job seekers

Micro-Upsells

Optional $2-$15 tools and coach sessions. Low-friction, high-value, clearly priced. You decide what's worth it.

Employer Partnerships

Companies sponsor challenges, access curated talent pools, and run micro-projects. They pay us, not you.

Education Partners

Verified partners with transparent outcomes only. No hidden affiliate deals, no course-pushing.

Relevant Affiliates

Light, clearly disclosed affiliate links to useful tools. No aggressive pushing, just helpful recommendations.

We never make money by keeping you searching longer. Our success = your success.

Pricing FAQs

Is the core platform really free forever?

Yes. All essential features—strategy, planning, financial tools, execution, opportunities—are permanently free. No trial period, no bait-and-switch.

Do I need a credit card to sign up?

No. You can access the full core platform without providing any payment information.

What's the catch with free?

No catch. We're subsidized by employer partnerships and optional micro-upsells. We make money when companies hire our users or when users choose optional premium features.

Can I use employabl without buying anything?

Absolutely. Most users complete their job search using only free features. Add-ons are truly optional accelerators.

How is this different from predatory coaching?

We cap prices at coffee-money levels, publish transparent credentials, provide value upfront, and create zero dependency. You're in control.

What if I can't afford any add-ons?

The free core platform is fully functional and comprehensive. You don't need add-ons to succeed.
