How do I reply when a client asks for free revisions on WhatsApp?

Client keeps sending 'small changes' on WhatsApp? Use a polite reply that cites your revision limit and offers a quote for extra work.

The risky clause

The Contractor will make unlimited revisions until the Client is fully satisfied at no extra cost.

Why it is dangerous

Unlimited revisions turn a fixed fee into unpaid work. Quick chat requests blur the line between a revision and new scope. A clear revision count in the contract, plus a polite template reply that quotes it, keeps the relationship friendly and the work paid. This is general information, not legal advice.

Safer clause to propose

The fee includes two (2) rounds of consolidated revisions within the agreed scope. Further revisions or new requests are billed at [RATE] per hour after written approval of the estimate.

Message to send

Hi [Client],

Happy to help! This falls outside the 2 revision rounds in our agreement, so I'll share a small quote (about [HOURS] hrs, Rs [AMOUNT]). If you approve, I'll start right away. Thanks!

Frequently asked questions

How many revisions should a freelancer include?

Two rounds of consolidated feedback is common. State it in the contract and define what counts as a revision.

What if the client says it is a quick change?

Reply politely, quote the revision clause and offer a short estimate. Small paid changes keep boundaries clear.
