How it works

Creatives' Tool begins as an invoicing platform designed specifically for freelancers in the visual creative industries.

When users issue invoices through the platform, anonymized information from those invoices can be used to better understand how the market operates. By looking at real transactions, Creatives' Tool can gradually build a clearer picture of how creative work is priced across different projects, clients, and locations.

Because the platform is built as a collective tool, it becomes more valuable as more creatives use it. Each invoice contributes to a growing dataset that helps reveal market trends and gives freelancers better insight into fair daily rates.

At Creatives' Tool, we believe unity is strength: while the creative industries are full of extraordinary talented people, most professionals still work alone, navigating a fragmented ecosystem without shared foundations. As physicist Niels Bohr said, "what cannot be measured does not exist,"* yet in the freelance creative economy, almost nothing is reliably measured, leaving creatives without clear benchmarks on what others earn across clients, projects, and locations. As a result, many negotiate blindly, unsure whether they are pricing too high or too low. Creatives' Tool was created to change that, not as a union but as a collective platform that helps creatives better understand the market they operate in and position themselves more fairly within a highly competitive industry, by analyzing real transaction data to bring clarity to the creative economy and provide tangible insights that help defend the value of their work.

Niels Bohr (1885–1962) was a Danish physicist and pioneer of quantum theory, often cited for emphasizing that measurable data is essential to understanding and defining reality.

E-invoicing - E-reporting

Creatives' Tool is an e-invoicing–ready platform designed to help freelance professionals in the creative industries prepare for the upcoming electronic invoicing reforms in Europe.

What's the reform about ?
And how am I concerned ?

With Creatives' Tool, freelancers can easily prepare for the transition to electronic invoicing and e-reporting across Europe. In France, starting on September 1, 2026, all businesses; from large corporations to SMEs and independent professionals; will be required to receive invoices in electronic format.

Over time, the issuance and transmission of invoices will take place exclusively through certified or compliant platforms connected to the national e-invoicing infrastructure.

Creatives' Tool is designed to support freelancers through this transition by offering a simple, compliant invoicing platform tailored to the specific needs of creative professionals.

Our electronic invoicing solution is hosted in Europe on a SecNumCloud-certified infrastructure, ensuring strong data sovereignty and security.

FAQ

How does the algorithm work ?

The algorithm computes a weighted recommendation by comparing the user's profile (job, experience, client, and location) against similar entries in the CT database. Results are scored based on their proximity to the input parameters, and the final rate is derived from a weighted aggregation, with higher weight given to the most relevant matches.

What data does Creatives' Tool collect from my invoices ?

We only extract limited, relevant data needed to generate market insights, including your profession, years of experience, type of client, project location, and daily rate (including any preparation day rate). All data processed by the algorithm are anonymised and analyzed in an aggregated manner.

Is CT compliant with GDPR ?

Yes. Creatives' Tool is designed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We apply principles such as data minimisation, purpose limitation, and secure data storage within the European Union. Personal data is processed only when necessary, and any information used to generate insights is anonymised and aggregated.

Is CT connected to upcoming e-invoicing regulations ?

Yes. Creatives' Tool is built to support e-invoicing and e-reporting regulations, starting with France and Belgium, and expanding to other countries over time. Creatives' Tool operates as a compliant invoicing solution, relying on a certified partner to handle the transmission of invoices and data to the tax authorities in accordance with regulatory requirements.
