Client or freelancer
One account is one side of the marketplace. What that means, and what to do if you picked the wrong one.

When you sign up you choose a side: hiring, or looking for work. That choice decides what the product is for you, and it cannot be switched afterwards.
Why one account is one side
Every screen after signup differs. A client sees a directory of people, a job board they post to, and applicants. A freelancer sees a job board they apply to, a profile editor, and their own hours and invoices. There is no screen where both make sense at once, so an account that tried to be both would be an account that was half wrong everywhere.
It also matters for the parts that involve another person. An offer of work has a side that makes it and a side that accepts it; a review has somebody writing and somebody written about. Those are not roles you can hold simultaneously with the same person.
What each side gets
Client, free: the full directory with every filter, saved lists and folders, private notes on people you are considering, and the comparison table. You can also write job posts, publish one of them, see who applied, and read every conversation.
Client, Premium: everything above, plus contact details, replying to messages and starting conversations, publishing as many jobs as you like with no application cap, reading the applications you receive, invitations, calls, offers, contracts, hours approval and invoices. Up to five people on one subscription.
Freelancer: all of it, free. A profile, applications, messaging, calls, contracts, a calendar for your hours, invoices and payment methods. Nothing is behind a payment, because freelancers never pay here.
