Yes. Creating an account, setting up your profile, and browsing projects is completely free for both freelancers and clients.
The 3.5% seller fee is automatically deducted from the freelancer's earnings when the payment is released from escrow. The 3.5% buyer fee is added at checkout.
No. The 3.5% on each side is the only fee we charge. Payment processing costs (Stripe) are included — we cover those. There are no listing fees, subscription fees, or withdrawal fees.
Buyers pay the listed price plus a small 3.5% service fee. For example, on a €100 order the buyer pays €103.50.
We believe freelancers should keep more of what they earn. As a lean platform, we can offer competitive rates while still providing secure payments and quality support.
