    Starting May 1, 2025, the Freelancer Service Fee for new contracts will move from a fixed 10% to a variable fee between 0–15%. The goal of this update is to enable a more balanced and competitive marketplace.
    What’s changing?
    The fee will vary by contract based on factors like client demand for certain work.​
    What’s staying the same?
    Existing contracts won’t be affected.​
    You’ll always see the fee before accepting a contract.​
    Once accepted, the fee stays fixed for that contract.​
    You still set your own rates and keep full control over which contracts you accept.​
