Frequently asked questions

What is a statement of work?

A statement of work (SOW) is a formal document that defines what work will be done, when, and for how much. Unlike a proposal, it is the agreed contract — signed by both parties before work begins.

What is the difference between a proposal and a statement of work?

A proposal is a sales document used to win the project. A statement of work is the contractual document that defines what was agreed. Most freelancers send a proposal first, then formalize it with an SOW or contract.
