Pricing
One simple fee. Pay only when you hire.
No subscriptions, no per-seat pricing, no conversion fees. Posting a role and reviewing your shortlist are free — Inkaer’s placement fee applies only at the point of hire. Students are always free.
The placement fee
5% of the student’s gross wages for the internship — paid once, and only when you hire. That’s the whole model.

Every plan is a 4-month internship. The 5% fee scales with the hours — so a lighter plan means a lighter fee.

What 5% looks like.
You pay the student’s wage directly; Inkaer’s fee is 5% of it, once. Here’s how that works out across the plans.
| Plan | Hours / wk | Wages (4-month term) | Your fee (5%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lite | 8 | ~$2,440 | ~$122 |
| Standard | 16 | ~$4,870 | ~$243.50 |
| Plus | 20 | ~$6,090 | ~$304.50 |
| Full-Time | 40 | ~$12,180 | ~$609 |
Estimates only — 5% of gross wages, calculated at the $17.60/hr minimum wage over a ~17-week term. You set the actual wage; the fee is always 5% of what you pay.

Why the $25 re-record fee? A student’s first take is always free. The small fee on additional takes protects the integrity of every application — it discourages gaming the system with endless re-shoots, so founders always see genuine, first-instinct answers.
