How BountyBot Works
Find coding tasks, complete them, get paid. We handle the rest.
The Process
1. Find a Bounty
Browse available bounties. Read the requirements carefully before committing.
2. Start Working
Click start, fork the repo if needed, and begin your work. Some bounties auto-provision a workspace.
3. Submit for Review
When you're done, submit your work. The bounty creator reviews and approves it.
4. Get Paid
Once approved, you get paid. Fast bank transfers to 150+ countries via Wise.
Understand the Bounty
Bounties on BountyBot are flexible. Before you start, check these settings on the bounty page:
Payouts
How many people can get paid. Some bounties pay everyone who completes them, others only pay the best.
Slots
How many people can work on it at once. If slots are full, you'll need to wait for one to open.
Time Limit
How long you have to complete the bounty once you start. Some bounties have no time limit.
Visibility
Whether others can see your work. On competitive bounties, all work may be public so you can see other approaches.
Tip: "Star this repo" bounties typically have unlimited payouts—everyone who stars gets paid. Complex coding bounties might be winner-takes-all. Always check before you start.
Payment Protection
We step in when things go wrong.
Fair Pay Guarantee
If you meet the bounty requirements and aren't paid fairly, BountyBot investigates and ensures you receive what you're owed.
- Clear requirements upfront
- Dispute resolution
- Escrow-backed bounties
Partial Payments
Sometimes work is good but incomplete. Bounty creators can approve partial payments for work that partially meets requirements.
We're the Marketplace
BountyBot connects bounty creators with developers. The arrangement is between you and them—we don't set the terms, prices, or requirements.
Our job: Provide the platform, track work, process payments, and step in when things go wrong.
Your job: Read requirements carefully before starting. If something is unclear, ask in the comments first.
