What fits

OutsourcedXstrong · 91

OutsourcedX explicitly advertises a flat 5% fee charged to both freelancers and clients, so its core pricing model directly targets your need for lower commissions on both sides of a gig.

Best for: Freelancers and clients who want a single marketplace with a predictable, low flat commission on every transaction.

Contrastrong · 82

Contra promotes commission-free payments and positions itself as a professional network where creatives get paid without platform commissions, addressing your desire to avoid fees for both hiring and freelancing.

Best for: Creative freelancers and clients who prefer commission-free payments and a professional network rather than a traditional auction-style marketplace.

Caveat: An account is required before you can use the platform.

Partly fits

i'llTip - Network & Hire Prospartial · 56

The platform highlights a transparent fee structure and tipping rewards, which touches your fee concerns but its focus is broader (safety, vetting, tipping) rather than primarily advertising low, symmetric commissions.

Won’t cover: Its primary focus is safety and verified providers rather than promoting uniformly low commissions for both hirers and freelancers.

AllBetter JobPro: No Lead Feespartial · 50

AllBetter advertises no lead fees for home-service pros, which reduces cost for those freelancers but is narrowly focused on home-service work rather than a general freelance marketplace.

Won’t cover: It removes lead fees for home-service professionals but is specialized to home-service job requests, not a broad hiring marketplace across many freelance categories.

Domainlypartial · 45

Domainly offers zero commission on domain sales, showing a marketplace model that removes platform take, but it serves domain trading rather than general freelance hiring or gig work.

Won’t cover: It has zero commission for domain transactions but is a domain marketplace, not a platform for hiring freelancers or posting service gigs.
