How ProsDirect Works
Submit your work. Hand-pick a practitioner whose sensibilities align with yours. Get honest, professional notes: written or live. Here is how it works.
For creators in motion
Browse and hand-pick your reviewer
Filter by category, specialty, and credits. Browse their bio, work history, and rates. Choose someone whose sensibilities align with what you are making, because who you get feedback from matters as much as what they say. Every professional is manually verified before their profile goes live.
Choose your format
Two options: Written Notes (async, delivered within 24-48 hours) or a Live Call (live video session on the platform). Pick what fits your work and timeline.
Submit your work
Enter your project title, share a link to your work, and add your specific questions or areas of focus. The clearer your questions, the more focused the feedback.
Pay securely
Payment is processed through Stripe and held in escrow. You are not charged until you confirm booking. The professional is only paid once feedback is delivered and you confirm receipt.
Receive feedback
For written notes, feedback arrives in the booking thread within 24-48 hours. For a call, the professional schedules a time and you connect directly on the platform. Ask follow-up questions in the thread after.
The Two Formats
Every professional on ProsDirect offers one or both of these session types.
Written Notes
- 24-48 hour turnaround
- Detailed written feedback on your work
- Structured notes you can reference and action
- Reference feedback anytime as you iterate
- Ask follow-up questions in the booking thread
Live Call
- Live video call on the platform
- All communication stays on-platform to protect your privacy
- Real-time interactive feedback
- Can screen share and watch scenes together
- Dig into specific questions in real time
- Coordinate call time via the platform thread
Trust and Payments
Escrow Payment
Your payment is held in escrow by Stripe until feedback is delivered. If a professional does not deliver, you are not charged.
Verified Professionals
Every professional has verified credentials. We check portfolios and experience manually before any profile goes live on the platform.
Transparent Pricing
Professionals set their own rates. ProsDirect takes a 20% platform fee. What you see is what you pay, no hidden charges.
Platform Messaging
All communication happens through ProsDirect. Your project link and the feedback thread are kept private and secure.
For master practitioners
We manually review every application. ProsDirect is a curated roster of creatives and technicians at the top of their craft, accepted for the quality and level of their work, not their following or public profile. Once approved, you control your rates, availability, and formats.
Apply with your portfolio
Fill out the application form with your bio, experience, specialty, and proposed rates. Include links to your work or credentials.
Wait for review
We manually review every application, verify your credentials, and make a decision within a few business days. No automated approvals.
Set up your profile and payouts
Once approved, you receive a login link. Log in, complete your profile, and connect Stripe to receive payouts. Your profile goes live once both are done.
Accept bookings on your schedule
Set your availability. When someone books you, you receive an email notification. Review the work at your pace and deliver feedback via the platform thread.
Get paid on delivery
Mark the booking as delivered once feedback is posted. The platform releases 80% of the booking amount to your Stripe account when the client confirms receipt.
