AI summary

A thriving hub for independents, Contra earns praise for its clean, portfolio-first experience, seamless proposals/contracts/payments, and commission-free model that helps creators keep more of what they earn. Makers of Contra highlight how it enables hiring designers, animators, and sound talent at speed. Makers of AutoForm credit it for quickly finding a creator for their launch video. Users applaud Indy AI and fast iteration, though some cite slow, unclear network approvals and limited access to jobs. Overall: polished, community-led, and efficient.

This AI-generated snapshot distills top reviewer sentiments.

I hire brand designers, animators, sound designers and more on Contra and couldn't do what I do without it. It's what I wish I had when I was a freelancer myself.

I've been a regular user of Contra over the last couple of years and the team consistently ship great features that really deliver value for their members. Indy AI was another great feature which I was lucky enough to beta test. I've seen a number of AI tools that have tried to do what Indy does, I even went as far as to setup an automation between Linkedin Sale Navigator and Phantom Buster, but it was slow and cumbersome to get leads. I love how simply Indy make this process and while I occasionally get the odd duplicated job, Indy is still very new, but already way better than other modals I've seen.

Well done Contra, keep up the great work!

What I really love is how polished the platform feels. It’s not just about gigs, it’s about building your brand and running your business professionally without the friction. The one-line project prompt and portfolio tools make it super quick to showcase work and land clients.
