# How Jowomo works: classifying the employment status of a freelancer engagement in two steps

How Jowomo works

What Jowomo is today

Jowomo helps companies classify the self-employment status of a freelancer engagement. You provide a few details about your individual case and receive a comprehensible classification – no account needed, right in your browser.

Step 1: Free short orientation

Answer eight questions about the freelancer engagement – this takes about five minutes. You instantly receive a summary of your details with a first, non-binding orientation. We also send you the link to your case by email so you can return to it within 7 days.

Step 2: Lawyer-reviewed assessment (optional)

If you want a robust evaluation, you receive a lawyer-reviewed assessment for a one-time €199 (plus 19% VAT) per case. Additional details are voluntary and help classify the case more precisely. Delivery takes place within 24 hours after payment and complete information. Sections created with AI support are marked in the assessment.

What Jowomo is not

Jowomo is not legal advice and does not replace a status determination procedure of the German Pension Insurance. To learn which criteria are decisive for the status and when a procedure makes sense, read the article [Hiring freelancers: legally classify their status](/ratgeber/compliance-wizard-ki-rechtssichere-zusammenarbeit).

Data protection

We create the free short orientation from a fixed template, without AI. The paid assessment runs mostly on our own local AI models. For legal research it also uses an external AI service based in the USA; this service only receives details without personal names, company names may be included. All processors are listed in our privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account?

No. The short orientation works without registration.

What does the short orientation cost?

Nothing. The short orientation is free. Only the optional lawyer-reviewed assessment costs €199 (plus 19% VAT) per case.

Who is Jowomo for?

For companies and entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 BGB who want to classify a freelancer engagement.
