Loofta vs PayPal

A private way for freelancers
to get paid, without PayPal

Freelancers, creators, and distributed teams increasingly get paid in crypto — but most crypto payment tools copy PayPal's model without fixing the parts that actually bother freelancers: the fees, the holds, and every payment sitting in one place for the platform to see.

Why privacy matters for how you get paid

With PayPal, every client, gig, and tip lands in one account — your whole earnings history in a single place a platform can freeze, flag, or review at any time. Moving to a typical crypto payment link doesn't fix this; it just moves the same permanent record onto a public blockchain instead of a private company's database.

A private payment link keeps the parts that make crypto worth switching to — instant settlement, no country restrictions, no account required from your client — without turning your income into a public record either.
