Pitch on client briefs.
Just $100/yr.

The unlock fee is set by the budget the client stated on their brief, so a small project never costs the same to pitch as a large one: Under $5,000 costs $49; $5,000 – $25,000 costs $149; $25,000 – $75,000 costs $499; $75,000 – $250,000 costs $1,499; $250,000+ costs $2,999. It is a one-off card charge per brief, and you see the exact fee on the brief before you pay it. There is no commission on work you win, and no charge for briefs you decide to skip. The $100/yr Leads Only subscription is separate - it is what puts you on the board in the first place.

Every brief matched to you is visible for free, with everything except the client's identity: project type - e.g. web application, mobile application, e-commerce build; every service the client asked for; budget band the client selected; timeline - ASAP, 1–3 months, 3–6 months, 6+ months or flexible; client's industry; preferred country and city, and whether they will work remotely; the opening of the brief itself - first 280 characters; when the brief was matched to you, and the date your pitch window closes; how many of the 5 unlock spots are already taken. That is deliberately enough to decide whether the project is worth pitching for. What the fee buys is contact: the full brief, not the 280-character opening; client contact name; client email address; client phone number, when they gave one; company name; company website; the pitch form - send your intro, price range and timeline through the site.

Immediately. The moment the payment clears, the client's name, email, phone, company and website appear on the brief and are emailed to you as well. Nothing is conditional on the client responding, accepting a pitch, or approving you. You can also send a structured pitch through the site, and the client is told which agencies have unlocked their brief - but that is a notification, not a gate.

A hard maximum of 5. The brief page shows how many of the 5 spots are already taken before you pay, and the 6th attempt to unlock is refused by the server rather than sold. Matched agencies get 7 days from the match email to pitch, after which the window closes.

Not as a search filter, because this is not an open marketplace you browse - briefs are matched to you. Your services and location on your agency profile drive the matching, and you only ever see briefs matched to your agency. You then choose brief by brief which ones to pay for: budget band, services requested, project type, timeline and client location are all shown on the locked card before any charge. If you want different briefs, edit the services and location on your profile and matching follows.

We do not publish volume figures and we do not promise a number of leads - the brief board is a young part of the site and quoting an average would misrepresent what any one agency sees. What we will do is tell you the real, current figures for your project types and region before you pay anything: email support@webdesignawards.io with the categories you care about and we will send what we actually have. The $100/yr subscription buys access to the board, not a guaranteed quantity of briefs, and we would rather you knew that before signing up than after.

Yes. /agencies/leads-only shows worked examples of briefs in the exact locked format you would see on the board, so you can judge the level of detail before spending anything. They are written illustrations rather than live client briefs, because even an anonymized real brief can identify the company that wrote it. For genuine current briefs in your categories, email support@webdesignawards.io and we will walk you through what is on the board.
