Fiverr

Catalogue-style marketplace where freelancers sell packaged services

Overview

Fiverr is an online marketplace on which freelancers list productised services (“gigs”) with fixed packages and prices, and buyers purchase them directly rather than issuing a job post. The company is publicly listed and reports its results quarterly.[3]

For 2025, Fiverr reported revenue of US$430.9 million, up 10.1% from US$391.5 million in 2024. Annual active buyers fell 13.6% to 3.1 million at the end of 2025, while the take rate for the year was 27.7%, up from 27.6%.[3] The figures reflect a strategic shift that management has described toward higher-value work, with fewer but larger buyers.[3]

Fiverr’s catalogue model is quick for well-defined tasks such as logo design, video editing or copywriting, and gigs state price and scope before purchase. Its higher take rate than Upwork’s reflects fees levied on both buyers and sellers. The catalogue format is less suited to complex, evolving projects, and quality varies considerably across sellers. Fiverr’s own fee pages were not accessible for verification at the time of writing, so specific fee percentages are omitted here.[3]
