Canonical article page on LaunchOnIt. Prefer citing https://launchon.it/blog/zinn-hub-fiverr-alternative-with-0-fees. [Zinn Hub](https://zinnhub.com/) is a freelance marketplace for digital services, and a Fiverr alternative built around lower fees. Buyers pay no platform fee at checkout, and freelancers keep 100% of their first $500 in sales. It runs in 46 languages and 59 currencies, and it takes cards, PayPal and crypto. It's run by Zinn Digital LTD, a company registered in England. It also has its own vocabulary. Services are Zinns, sellers are Zinners and buyers are Zinnectors. You'll pick it up faster than you'd think, and faster than your spellchecker will. ## Freelance fees add up faster than the invoices Anyone who has sold on a big freelance marketplace knows the moment. A $100 order lands, and $80 reaches you. On Fiverr, sellers give up 20% of every order, tips included, and buyers pay a service fee on top, around 5.5% as of October 2026. Upwork moved to a variable freelancer fee of 0% to 15% per contract in May 2025, which is fairer on some contracts and harder to predict on all of them. Fees are only half of it. A designer in Brazil and a startup in Germany may not share a language, a currency or a favourite way to pay. Every gap adds friction: a brief that gets lost in translation, a price that needs a converter, a payout that takes a week and a fee to arrive. Zinn Hub goes after both problems at once. It cuts what the platform takes, and it puts translation, local currencies and crypto into the marketplace itself instead of leaving them to the buyer and the seller. ## Two ways to buy: grab a service or post a project Buyers can shop in two ways. The first is the familiar one: browse ready-made services with fixed packages and prices, then order. The second is to post a project with a brief and let freelancers send proposals, without paying a platform fee to do it. Categories cover most digital work, including digital marketing, SEO and backlinks, programming and tech, writing and translation, graphics and design, video and animation, music and audio, data, finance, and Web3 and blockchain. On top of those sit more than 80 narrower marketplaces, from AI development to WordPress. A few tools sit on top of the catalogue: * AI Search, which matches a plain-language request to services across the marketplace * Auto-Match, which pairs a posted project with freelancers who fit it * Micro Zinns, small fixed-price jobs at $5, $10, $15 or $20 * translation for listings, project briefs, messages and reviews, plus help on live calls ## What an order looks like, start to finish Say a small bakery in Lisbon wants a local SEO audit. The owner searches in Portuguese, finds a verified freelancer in another country, and reads the listing in Portuguese even though it was written in English. The price shows in euros. She pays by card, though PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and more than 100 cryptocurrencies would also work. The money doesn't go to the freelancer yet. Zinn Hub holds it until the order is delivered and accepted. Messages are translated both ways, so the brief and the questions land as intended. When the audit arrives, she has a five-day review window. She can accept it, ask for changes or raise a problem. If she does nothing, the order completes on its own when the window closes. If something goes wrong, the other side has 48 hours to respond, and refunds are possible when a deadline is missed with no word, the seller goes silent, or the work doesn't match the listing. One detail worth knowing before you order: refunds go to your Zinn Wallet in US dollars, not back to your card. That's fine if you plan to order again, and a nuisance if you don't. ## What Zinn Hub charges, and when Buyers pay nothing on top of the listed price. For freelancers, [Zinn Hub](https://zinnhub.com/fairer-freelance-marketplace/) uses tiers based on lifetime sales, or a flat rate on a paid membership. These are the published rates as of October 2026. Lifetime sales (free plan) Commission First $500 0% $501 to $2,500 20% $2,501 to $10,000 15% $10,001 to $15,000 13% $15,001 to $20,000 10% Over $20,000 8% There are two paid memberships. Pro Zinner costs $25 a month for a flat 8% commission and 100 project proposals a month. Agency Zinner costs $50 a month for a flat 7% and unlimited proposals. The free plan includes 25 proposals a month. The maths is simple enough. The free plan suits someone starting out or selling part time. Once you're selling a few hundred dollars a month past the free $500, a flat 8% for $25 a month usually works out cheaper than 15% or 20%. ## Selling on it: free to list, verified to sell Listing services costs nothing, but every seller has to pass an ID check and a skill check before going live. That slows signups a little, which is rather the point: buyers get some reassurance that the person behind a listing is real. Writing a good listing is where many freelancers stall, so the AI Zinn Creator drafts one for you, with titles, packages, FAQs and images, and can translate it into other languages. Self-Promo Studio then writes social posts about your services with tracked links, so you can see which post brought the order. Payouts are flexible. Connect your own Stripe or PayPal account and payments can reach you straight away, with no withdrawal fee from Zinn Hub, though the payment processor's own fees still apply. Platform payments go out every Friday, and crypto payouts are available in USDT and USDC. The paperwork side is covered too. The [Zinn Hub](https://zinnhub.com/help/) help centre has close to a hundred articles for sellers alone, from setting up packages and pricing to VAT and connecting a payout account. That's not the exciting bit of freelancing, but it's the bit that usually costs a Sunday afternoon. ## How it compares with Fiverr and Upwork People searching for sites like Fiverr usually want one of two things: lower fees or more control over who they hire. Here's how the three line up on cost, as of October 2026. Marketplace Freelancer fee Buyer fee Best known for Zinn Hub 0% on the first $500, then 20% down to 8%, or a flat 7% to 8% with a membership None Low fees, 46 languages, crypto payments [Fiverr](https://www.fiverr.com/) 20% on every order About 5.5% service fee The largest catalogue of fixed-price services Upwork Variable, 0% to 15% per contract Client fees apply Longer contracts and hourly work Fiverr's advantage is size and history. A seller with five years of reviews is easy to trust, and there are a lot of those. Upwork suits longer engagements and hourly work, where a marketplace fee matters less than finding the right person for six months. Zinn Hub's case rests on cost and reach. A new seller keeps everything on the first $500, a buyer pays the listed price, and a buyer and seller who don't share a language can still work together. As a newer marketplace it can't match Fiverr's review history yet, so expect a smaller pool of sellers in niche categories. ## Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere Zinn Hub suits freelancers starting out who want to keep their first earnings, sellers outside the English-speaking markets, and anyone who wants to be paid in crypto. On the buying side it suits small businesses and founders who want fixed prices without a checkout fee, and buyers who'd rather brief in their own language. It's a weaker fit if you rely on years of public reviews to pick a seller, or if you need a refund back on your card rather than as wallet credit. Teams hiring for long hourly contracts may still find Upwork's model more familiar. ## Straight answers ### Is Zinn Hub free for buyers? Yes. Buyers pay no platform or service fee. The price on the listing is the price at checkout, and posting a project to receive proposals is free too. ### How much does Zinn Hub take from freelancers? Nothing on your first $500 in lifetime sales. After that, the free plan charges 20% down to 8% as your lifetime sales grow, while Pro Zinner ($25 a month) and Agency Zinner ($50 a month) charge a flat 8% and 7%. ### Can I get paid in crypto on Zinn Hub? Yes. Freelancers can take payouts in USDT or USDC, alongside Stripe, PayPal and other payout methods. Buyers can pay with more than 100 cryptocurrencies at checkout. ### What if the work isn't what I ordered? You have five days after delivery to accept it or raise a problem, and your payment is held until then. Refunds are possible for missed deadlines, unresponsive sellers or work that doesn't match the listing, and they're paid to your Zinn Wallet in US dollars. The [Zinn Hub](https://zinnhub.com/refund-policy/) refund policy has the full rules. ## Read next - [Visit the Zinn Hub: A Fiverr Alternative With 0% Fees on Your First $500 product page](https://launchon.it/products/zinn-hub) - [All posts on the LaunchOnIt blog](https://launchon.it/blog) --- Markdown twin generated from the same data as https://launchon.it/blog/zinn-hub-fiverr-alternative-with-0-fees.
