Begin with the jobs that are available
The official Escape The Matrix description confirms that the opening includes small jobs that pay $5. These gigs are the documented first step after beginning with $20 and an old PC.
Do not assume that an optional paid feature is required for normal progression. Use the standard contract flow first so you understand the time, payout, and attention each job requires.
Verified optional contract products
The available source material identifies the following contract-related optional products:
| Item | Listed price | What the name indicates |
|---|---|---|
| Second Contract Slot | 199 Robux | An additional contract slot. |
| Auto Manager | 249 Robux | An automation-themed game pass. |
| Finish Contract Now | Not verified here | A developer product associated with completing a contract. |
| Double Payout | Not verified here | A developer product associated with earnings. |
Prices, availability, and exact effects can change. Always inspect the current Roblox purchase prompt before spending Robux.
A safe way to compare contract upgrades
Before buying an upgrade, ask three questions: Does it save time you actually spend? Does it improve a system you already use? Is the price still the one shown in the current experience? This avoids treating old screenshots or community posts as current store information.
