Why inclinq?
Make mass contact costly
Small THREAD charges for Talent messages are intended to discourage automated bulk contact—not to verify identity.

One platform. Two distinct fees.
inclinq earns from advertising. THREAD is a separate, minimal communication charge intended to make mass automated contact less economical.
Standard Free advertising
Publish a Project or Talent listing without an advertising charge. Talent includes people offering skills, services and goods they can supply.
Premium Paid advertising
Choose paid placement for greater visibility. Premium is an advertising fee—not a commission on a hire, contract or sale.
THREAD Communication fee
We would rather make messaging free. To deter bulk automated outreach, Talent messages are charged at the first, 11th, 21st and subsequent ten-message checkpoints in each THREAD: $1 in the US and Global Remote, or ¥110 in Japan.
Paying does not prove that an account belongs to a real person or prevent every bot. Regional apps show the applicable listing terms and payment details before purchase. Projects do not pay the Talent-side THREAD fee.
Public Validation Roadmap
Phase 1 — Workflow Validation
Current
Goal:
Can a Project and a Talent meet through advertised needs and offers, before exchanging further personal details?
Standard advertising is free; Premium advertising is paid. The separate, minimal THREAD charge for Talent messages is already active ($1 in the US and Global Remote; ¥110 in Japan at defined message checkpoints).
Status: Now accepting participants.
Phase 2 — Trust Validation
Planned
Goal:
Measure whether THREAD payment checkpoints discourage automated mass contact while preserving useful conversations. Improve how people prepare information for their own chosen AI tools.
Focus:Measuring contact quality, actual costs and accessibility—not assuming payment proves identity.
Status: Evaluation planned; existing THREAD fees are already live.
Phase 3 — Open Beta
Upcoming
Goal:
After validation is complete, the participation limit will be removed.
Roadmap and features may change as validation progresses.
A message from the founder
We didn't start inclinq to build another recruitment agency or to earn a commission when two people make a deal.
We started with a simpler question: Why is it so easy to publish an opportunity, but increasingly difficult to find a conversation worth having?
The person behind the advertisement
A Project is an advertisement for something someone needs. A Talent is a person who can offer something useful: work, expertise, a service, or goods they can supply.
That distinction matters. A person offering goods is still Talent. We are not trying to turn inclinq into a conventional shopping cart or a recruitment agency. We provide a place for people to advertise what they need or offer, learn about one another, and communicate directly.
What happens after they meet—a job, a project, a purchase, a partnership, or nothing at all—is their decision. inclinq does not broker the transaction or charge a commission on its outcome.
What advertisers really lose to bots
Hiring teams sometimes spend hours reviewing applicants who may not exist. People advertising a service or goods can face a similar problem: convincing-looking messages generated automatically, with no genuine intention to proceed.
On a system that allows unlimited free messages, the sender can contact huge numbers of people at very little cost. The recipient carries the burden of sorting through them. Genuine opportunities can disappear into that noise.
We believe that problem has an economic dimension, not just a technical one.
Why THREAD isn't completely free
Ideally, direct communication would cost nothing. But making automated bulk contact free also makes it cheap to abuse.
That's why we introduced a minimal charge at defined points in Talent-side THREAD messaging. In the current pilot, Talent pay $1 in the US and Global Remote, or ¥110 in Japan, at their first, 11th, 21st and later ten-message checkpoints in each THREAD.
This is a communication fee, separate from our advertising business. It isn't a referral fee, a fee for finding work, or a commission on a completed agreement.
The idea is to change the economics of mass contact. Repeated automated outreach is no longer entirely free for the sender. That may deter abuse—but payment is not identity verification, and it cannot guarantee that someone is human. We intend to test how well this approach works in practice.
Advertising is how we intend to earn
Standard Project and Talent listings are free. People who want additional visibility can choose paid Premium advertising. That's the commercial model we want to grow—not taking a percentage when the people who met through inclinq succeed.
THREAD's small payment checkpoints serve a different purpose: discouraging automated mass messaging. We want that cost to remain as low as practical.
Personal information should follow a reason to connect
People should be able to show what they offer, or explain what they need, before handing over unnecessary personal details.
Creating an account requires a display name, email address and password, not a phone number or government ID at signup. When two people decide to go further, sharing additional information should be a deliberate choice between them.
Public information goes into the advertisement. Further personal details belong in the decisions made by the people involved.
Use the AI you prefer. Keep the decision yours.
AI can help a person organize an advertisement, compare stated needs with an offer, spot missing information, or prepare questions. But inclinq doesn't ask you to trust an AI that chooses a business partner or rejects a candidate for you.
Our AI MATCH COPY feature helps users take structured information into the AI tool of their own choice. Using AI is optional. It does not verify an identity or determine who deserves a conversation.
Technology should help us understand what we can see—not decide that someone or something has no value before we've spoken.
Connections shouldn't stop at borders
Language no longer needs to be the barrier it once was. People can use the tools they trust to understand work, skills, services and goods offered beyond their own country.
A useful advertisement opens a possibility. A real conversation lets the people involved decide what comes next.
