Why this exists.
Hi, I'm Nilanjan.
★ The builder
8 yrs in!
I run a creative agency in Bangalore called Outland Circle. I've been in the business for 8 years now, and for most of those years, pricing was the part I dreaded the most.
The awkward pause when a client asked "what's your rate?" The post-quote regret. Charging too little, resenting the project, doing it badly, losing the client. I cycled through that loop for years before I finally figured out a system that actually works.
And now young freelancers keep asking me — "Nilanjan, you've been in this business for so long, tell me bro, how much should I charge?"
So I built this. So you don't have to figure it out the slow, expensive way I did.
Know your number.

Free forever. Built because too many freelancers are underselling themselves into the ground.
