“On my old platform I priced logos at $100 and took home $80. Here I charge $85, the client pays less, and I earn more. Both sides win and it still feels like a trick.”

0% commission, forever
We take 0% commission on your price
Other marketplaces take up to 20% of everything you make. Gigxie takes none of it: not on your first order, not on your thousandth. One deduction does come off a payout — the card processor's fee, 2.9% + $0.30 per order — which goes to the payment provider, not to us.
No credit card. No commission, ever. Card processing fees apply — the calculator below shows exactly what lands in your balance.
What you charge, and what actually lands
Drag the slider to your gig price. Three numbers, no rounding tricks: what you charge, what the card processor deducts, and what reaches your balance — against the same order on a marketplace charging 20% commission.

Processing rate shown is Gigxie's published default. Buyers pay a separate service fee on top of your price — that is Gigxie's revenue, and it never comes out of what you charge.
How it works
From signup to first payout in three steps. Most sellers publish their first gig in under 20 minutes.
Create your gig
Describe what you do, set your own price and delivery time, and add up to three package tiers. No approval queue. You're live the moment you hit publish.
Deliver great work
Orders, messages and files live in one workspace. Buyers see your response time and reviews, so good work compounds: every five-star review lifts your search ranking.
Get paid, with 0% taken by us
Once the buyer accepts delivery, the full price leaves escrow for your balance and the card processor's fee is deducted as its own line — on a $500 order that's $14.80, so $485.20 is yours. Withdraw to your bank or PayPal within 24 hours.
The math isn't close
We rebuilt the marketplace model around sellers. Here's what changes when the platform isn't skimming your invoices.

Commission charged to sellers, all time
Completing an order writes one ledger row for the full price to the seller. The payments module asserts that the amount released equals the amount held, so a skim can't ship without failing the test suite. The card processing fee is a separate row against your side — visible, and none of it ours.

Sellers who did the math
Three freelancers on what changed when the platform stopped taking a cut.
Video editor & animator · Medellín, Colombia
“I edit around 20 videos a month. The 20% I used to hand over was my rent, almost to the peso. Moving here was the easiest raise I've ever given myself.”
$2,900/monthcommission: 0%
Mixing engineer · Gothenburg, Sweden
“Last year the commission on my mixes would have been about $6,000. A decent used synth, gone. Now that money buys gear that makes the next mix better. That's the whole story.”
$5,100/monthcommission: 0%
What's protected while you work
0% only matters if the order behind it is safe. These four are enforced by the platform, not by a promise in a help article.
The money is there before you start
Placing an order moves the buyer's payment into escrow that same second. You never work on a promise, and when the buyer accepts, the full price leaves escrow for your balance in one transfer, with only the card processor's fee deducted alongside it.
Cancellation has a hard cutoff
A buyer can cancel while the order is still waiting to start. Once you've begun, it can't be pulled out from under you: the only way it ends is delivery, and the only way the money moves back is a refund you agree to.
Only real buyers can review you
One review per completed order, from the person who paid for it. No drive-by ratings from someone who never hired you, and no way to buy a review into your profile.
Your clients stay your clients
No exclusivity clause, no penalty for the work you invoice elsewhere, no cut of it either. Bring the clients you already have, keep the ones you meet here, and leave whenever you like.
Questions sellers actually ask
The short honest answers, not the legal department's version.
How does Gigxie make money if it takes 0% commission?
Mainly a buyer-side service fee. When someone orders your gig, Gigxie adds a service fee on top of your price at checkout — 5.5% of the price plus $2.00 by default — and the buyer sees it itemised before they pay. That fee is our revenue. It is charged on top of your price, never taken out of it.
Then two optional seller products: Gigxie Pro subscriptions (two years of analytics, traffic sources and buyer search terms, priority support) and promoted listings for extra placement in search. If you never buy either, you never pay us anything, and your payout is identical either way.
What is not ours: the payment processing fee deducted from your payout — 2.9% + $0.30 per order by default. That goes to the card processor. We pass it through at cost and cannot waive it.
Is 0% commission really forever, or an intro offer?
Forever. It's written into our seller terms: Gigxie will never take a percentage of your order value. It's not a promotion we quietly sunset once you've moved your business over. It's the business model.
How and when do I get paid?
When a buyer accepts your delivery (or 72 hours pass without a revision request), the full price is released from escrow and the card processing fee — 2.9% + $0.30 by default — is deducted as its own line, so a $200 order clears $193.90 to your balance. Withdraw to your bank account, PayPal or Wise whenever you like; payouts land within 24 hours, there's no minimum balance, and Gigxie takes nothing on the way out.
What can I sell on Gigxie?
Any professional service you can deliver digitally: design, development, marketing, video, writing, translation, music, business consulting, AI work and more across our eight categories. You set the scope, the price ($5 to $10,000 per gig) and the delivery time. We only ask that the work is yours and the promises are real.
I already have clients and reviews elsewhere. Do I start from zero?
Not quite. You can link your external portfolio and verified profiles during onboarding, and our team fast-tracks experienced sellers into the Level 1 badge after their first five completed orders instead of the usual fifteen. Your existing clients can order from you here immediately, and you'll both keep more of the money.
