YunoJuno review: vetted freelancers booked by brands and agencies

Freelance project board

YunoJuno is a platform where companies find, book and pay freelancers in creative and tech roles. You join with a profile that YunoJuno reviews. Clients find you in search, you get matched to their job posts, or you apply to posts in your field inside the app.

Who YunoJuno is for

YunoJuno suits freelancers in design, development, data, marketing, product and project management who work for brands and agencies at a day rate. You need a business set up as a contractor, and the options depend on the country it is registered in.

What YunoJuno offers

  • Profile: work history and references, reviewed by YunoJuno's onboarding team.
  • Job posts: chosen by your field, location and day rate, seen after you sign in.
  • Messages with clients to agree on rate and booking.
  • Timesheets and invoices on the platform, paid on fixed terms once your time is approved.
  • Direct invitations: a client can add you and send you a contract without the profile check.

Who pays for what

Freelancers
Nothing. YunoJuno takes no cut of your rate
Clients
Pay your rate plus a fee on top, as a percentage of what they pay you or on custom terms

What speaks for YunoJuno

  • No fee for freelancers. The client pays YunoJuno on top of your rate.
  • Payment on fixed terms once your time is approved.
  • Contract, compliance checks and invoicing run through the platform.

What speaks against YunoJuno

  • No public list of jobs. Job posts are only visible inside the app.
  • Little outside creative, marketing and tech roles.
  • You need a business set up before you can be booked.

How to apply

Sign up and fill in your profile with your work history. YunoJuno reviews every profile by hand, which can take up to a week. A business e-mail address to confirm your experience speeds this up. Inside the app you see job posts for your field, location and day rate, and you apply with a cover note. YunoJuno's talent team reviews each application, and many clients wait for that review. A client can also shortlist you and ask for your availability and rate.

Where the listings come from

The job posts come from companies that use YunoJuno, many of them brands and agencies. They are posted inside the app and are not public listings, so they do not show up on other boards. Companies also use YunoJuno to contract and pay freelancers they found elsewhere, and invite them directly.
