For individuals

Just you?
Melbarrel is for you too.

You do not need a company, a team or a tax number to use Melbarrel. A personal account opens in your own name and shows only what one person needs. Freelancers, tutors, coaches, artists and people with a side project use the same platform businesses do.

Opens in your own name · No company details asked · Become a business later, nothing is lost

Building a personal website on Melbarrel

What one person gets

The useful parts, without the company paperwork

Your corner of the internet

A site that is actually yours

Build your site with the same drag-and-drop editor businesses use, put it on your own domain and keep writing on it. With the Personal Site module your portfolio and resume become pages too: edit them once in your panel and the site follows.

  • Your own domain, HTTPS is automatic
  • A blog with drafts and scheduled posts
  • Portfolio and a printable resume (Personal Site module)

The people who come to you

Bookings, and the people behind them

Let clients book a session from your site, keep their details and history in one list, and meet them on a video call without sending someone else's link. Melbear, the built-in assistant, drafts posts and replies when you would rather be doing the work.

  • Online booking from your site
  • Your contacts and their history
  • Video calls built in

Getting paid

Get paid like a professional

Send a quote, turn it into an invoice and let the client pay by card. Your own Melbarrel subscription is billed to you as a person: no company name, no business number.

  • Quotes and invoices
  • Card payments through your own Stripe or MelPay
  • Billed in your own name

Before you sign up on your own

Do I need a registered business?

No. Choose Personal when you sign up and the account opens in your own name. You are not asked for a company name or a tax number.

Is it the same platform businesses use?

Yes: the same system, the same updates and the same support. A personal account simply hides the company settings you would not use.

What if I start a business later?

Switch the account type from Personal to Business in your account settings. Your site, contacts and history stay where they are; you only add the company details.

How much does it cost?

Personal and business accounts use the same plans, monthly or yearly, and you can cancel any time. The pricing page always shows the current prices.

Start in your own name.

Monthly or yearly. Cancel any time.
