The comparison
The comparison as Zinn Hub wrote it.
Fiverr is the bigger and longer-running gig marketplace, while Zinn Hub is the newer one, designed around fairer fees and around language. Over on Fiverr, a seller hands over 20% of each order and the buyer also covers a service fee. Over on Zinn Hub, buyers face no platform fee, sellers hold on to their first $500, and listings, chat and calls get translated across 46 languages.

Buyers are not charged any platform fee.
A seller keeps the whole of their first $500, which is 100%.
Past that point, the commission settles at 8%, or 7% for Agency.
Placing a proposal costs nothing, and there is nothing to purchase ahead of bidding.
Listings, chat, reviews and text inside images are translated in both directions, across 46 languages.
Live calls come with either captions or a translated voice that speaks aloud.
Zinn Hub puts no fee on payouts, and every listing can take crypto.
Before a freelancer is allowed to list, both their identity and their skills are checked.
