Why Own vs List on Upwork

Keep Your Users and Your Data

On Upwork, you pay fees and the marketplace owns the relationship. Running your own platform keeps the revenue and the customer data yours.

Building from Scratch

  • Months of development and hiring
  • Bidding and milestones from zero
  • High cost and risk before launch
  • Slow to market while competitors grow

Your Own Platform (Nlance)

I searched online when I was looking for a company to help me realise my startup dream, and that is when I came across NCrypted Technologies. I explained to them what I had in mind and what I intended to achieve, and they did not waste time getting back to me.

Alex FergussonCo-Founder and CMO

A great professional team to work with. Thanks to NCrypted Technologies' efforts, they completed the application as requested. They demonstrated great teamwork throughout the entire process, ensuring the project's success.

They went over backward to help me launch the exact app I envision, all within my limited budget. Their responsiveness and professionalism have been outstanding.

NCrypted has helped our little nonprofit develop a powerful website, Treatment Scout, to help people find and review treatment clinics for mental health and addiction. I have been amazed by their ability to bring this complex and important project to life under our very lean budget.

We were looking for a software development company to take on our payment gateway project, and we stumbled upon your company. From the get-go, the analysts working with us started up professionally. We see a very bright future ahead with NCrypted!
