Who Should Pay - The Client or the Freelancer?

Who Should Pay - The Client or the Freelancer?

This week on The Freelancer's Tea Break, I'm tackling a surprisingly common dilemma: If a client wants you to use specific software, who should foot the bill?

Here's the gist:

  • If they require it (and you won't use it elsewhere) — they should pay.
  • If it's a tool you'll use across clients — it's likely worth investing in yourself.
  • Always agree on who owns the content created in that software!
