How It Works

We've removed the guesswork from hiring AI implementation help. Every deal is backed by our vetting, contracts, and escrow protection.

1
Describe Your Project
Tell us what you need — budget range, timeline, and the type of AI work involved. We match you with the right specialists.
2
Get Matched in 48 Hours
We review your request and match you with 1–3 pre-vetted AI specialists who fit your scope and budget. You choose who to work with.
3
Pay Securely via Escrow
Funds are held in escrow and released only when you sign off on milestone completion. No upfront payment to strangers. No surprises at delivery.
Why Deal Desk

The trust layer the AI services market is missing.

Escrow Protection

Standardized Contracts
No more unclear scopes, surprise change orders, or ambiguous terms. Every deal uses our standard professional services agreement.
SMB-Friendly Pricing
Deals from $1,500 to $10,000+. We focus on the sweet spot for small businesses — meaningful work without agency-scale budgets.

"We'd been burned twice by freelancers who disappeared mid-project. Deal Desk matched us with a provider in 36 hours and escrow meant we never felt exposed. First time we've actually gotten what we paid for."

Pricing

How much does a Deal Desk engagement cost?

Every deal is different. Here's what affects your investment and how our referral model works.

1
Deal Size
Most Deal Desk engagements fall between $1,500 and $10,000. Smaller automation tasks start around $1,500. Full AI agent implementations typically run $3,000–$8,000.
2
Our Referral Fee
We take a 10% referral fee on every closed deal. This comes from the provider's side — your price as a buyer is exactly what you agree with your matched provider. No markup.
3
Escrow Deposit
Funds are held in escrow and released on milestone sign-off. This protects both parties — you don't pay until you're satisfied; the provider knows they'll get paid when they deliver.
There are no fees to submit a deal request or to receive provider matches. Our fee is paid by the provider on successful deal completion.
