While our active developer community solves most bounties, if yours doesn't receive a satisfactory submission, you are not obligated to pay. You can choose to relist the bounty—perhaps with a clearer description or a higher price—or you can cancel it and receive a full refund of the funds held in escrow.

We use a secure escrow system for all bounties. When you post and fund a bounty, your payment is held securely by us. We only release the funds to the developer after you have reviewed their submission and confirmed you are satisfied by formally approving the work. This protects you from paying for incomplete or unsatisfactory work.

The bounty price should reflect the task's complexity, required skills, and estimated time. For bug bounties, the price often relates to the severity of the vulnerability. We recommend Browse similar completed bounties on our platform to get a good benchmark. Setting a competitive price is the best way to attract top freelance developer talent.

You can post a wide range of software tasks and coding challenges. This includes bug bounties for finding security vulnerabilities, task bounties for new feature development, API integrations, database migrations, performance optimization, code reviews, and writing technical documentation. If it's a defined technical task, you can post a bounty for it.

Yes, our platform is built for both. You can post private bounties for your company's proprietary code, or you can fund bounties for open-source software (OSS) projects. Using bounties is an excellent way to support the open-source community and get valuable contributions.
