Freelance comparison

An invoice requests payment. Dealokr helps organise the whole deal.

An invoice remains essential for the freelancer’s obligations. Dealokr does not replace it: it connects terms, payment status, delivery and approval around the project.

In practice

Connect the steps instead of reconstructing the story later.

Compare a traditional invoice, direct bank transfer and Dealokr for terms, payment, delivery, approval and project records.

An invoice remains an accounting document.

An invoice describes a debt, a due date and the necessary tax information. It does not always show which version was delivered, who approved it, which revisions were included or when final files were due.

A direct bank transfer is simple, but separate from the project.

A bank transfer can suit an established relationship. Its status stays in the bank, while scope, files and approval live elsewhere. If the parties disagree, the history must be reconstructed.

Dealokr adds the operational record.

Dealokr organises the deal before work starts, attaches the payment provider’s status, separates previews from final files, then keeps approval and important events together. It complements accounting documents rather than replacing them.

Without / With Dealokr

The same project, with a clearer history.

Invoice + bank transfer alone

Payment and accounting work, but the agreement, delivery and approval remain scattered.

Invoice + Dealokr

The invoice keeps its accounting role while Dealokr supports the operational deal workflow.

Does Dealokr replace an invoice?

No. Freelancers remain responsible for invoicing and tax obligations. Dealokr supports deal protection through terms, payment status, protected delivery, approval and project records.

Why not just use a bank transfer?

A transfer can be enough to move money. Dealokr mainly connects that payment to the terms, delivery and approval.
