The facts
Workana facts checked on October 1, 2026.
| Aspect | Workana | LeadGen-Agent |
|---|---|---|
| How it works | The client posts a project, receives proposals from freelancers and agrees a budget with the one they choose. Source | You find businesses with a website, LeadGen-Agent diagnoses their site with AI and you write to them first, from your own Gmail. It doesn't bring demand or detect replies or closed deals. |
| Who starts the conversation | It begins with a project the client posts: the freelancer picks which ones to respond to and talks with the client before starting. Source | It starts with you: you choose which business to write to and what to send. |
| How the client chooses | The client chooses among the proposals received and looks at each freelancer's portfolio, reviews and certifications. Source | There are no proposals to compare: the business gets your email with a diagnosis of its own website and decides whether to reply. |
| Where your reputation lives | Workana invites freelancers to build their profile and client portfolio on the platform itself. Source | It isn't a marketplace: it doesn't host public profiles or client reviews. |
| How payment works | The client deposits the funds with Workana before work starts; the freelancer is credited on delivery and withdraws the money from the platform. Source | It doesn't process payments between you and your client: you agree on payment and get paid on your own. |
| Payment protection | The funds are held in escrow on Workana and released to the freelancer only after the client has reviewed and accepted the work. Source | It doesn't offer payment protection. |
When each one fits
When Workana fits
- You want to respond to projects others have already posted, instead of finding every client yourself.
- You prefer payment to go through a platform that holds it in escrow until delivery.
- You're starting out and want to build a profile with ratings and reviews inside a platform.
When LeadGen-Agent fits
- You'd rather choose which businesses to approach than wait for someone to post a project.
- Your trade works on a business's digital presence and you want to open the conversation with a diagnosis of its site.
- You want your contacts and the history of every deal to live in your own account.
- You accept that the search is on you: LeadGen-Agent doesn't bring demand and can't promise replies.
Using both
You don't have to choose. You can keep your Workana profile for projects that already arrive posted and use LeadGen-Agent to approach businesses that posted nothing. Always respect each platform's terms of use.
