Switch from Fiverr to Zinn Hub

Fiverr takes 20% of every sale, holds your money for 14 days, and caps you at one way to earn — passive gig sales, waiting for buyers to find you. Zinn Hub keeps your gig income flowing and unlocks two more revenue streams on top — with direct PayPal & Stripe payouts at checkout.

3 revenue streams · 0% first $500 · Instant payouts

Three ways to earn — keep your gig income, add two more

On Fiverr, you have one revenue channel. On Zinn Hub, you have three — use one, two, or all three. Same effort, more acquisition paths, more sales.

Zinns What you already do

List service packages with fixed pricing — exactly like Fiverr gigs, but you control the pricing, the structure, and the visibility. Buyers purchase directly at checkout. Passive income that sells while you sleep.

Projects New revenue stream

Something Fiverr doesn’t have: buyers post projects, you submit proposals and get hired for custom work. Proposals are always free — no Connects, no paid bids. Actively win bigger, higher-value jobs on top of your Zinn sales.

Freelancer Directory New revenue stream

Build a public freelancer profile showcasing your skills, rates, and portfolio. Buyers browse the directory and hire you directly — no gig listing required, no proposal needed. Inbound work from buyers searching for your skills.

On Fiverr way to earn — list gigs, wait for buyers to find you
On Zinn Hub ways to earn — passive, active, and inbound

Three acquisition channels = three times the sales opportunities.

Fiverr locks you into one revenue model: list gigs, sit on the algorithm’s mercy, hope buyers find you. Zinn Hub keeps that channel going (as Zinns) and adds two more: Projects where you actively win bigger custom jobs with free proposals, and the Freelancer Directory where buyers discover and hire you directly. Same effort. Three income paths instead of one.

What’s holding you back on Fiverr?

These frustrations aren’t just yours — they’re shared by thousands of freelancers questioning whether Fiverr is still worth it.

20% flat commission forever

Fiverr takes 20% from every sale — on every client, on every order, forever. Even loyal repeat buyers never qualify you for a lower rate. You do the work, they keep a fifth, in perpetuity.

One way to earn — and you wait

Fiverr caps you at a single revenue model: list gigs and wait for buyers. No project bidding, no direct hire discovery, no ability to actively win work. You’re at the mercy of an algorithm that promotes new gigs and buries older ones.

14-day payment clearance

Even after a client marks your order complete, Fiverr holds your money for 14 days before you can withdraw (7 days for Top Rated Sellers). Your earned money sits in their wallet, not yours.

Levels system gates your features

New Seller, Level 1, Level 2, Top Rated. Features, visibility, gig limits, and withdrawal speed all depend on climbing levels you have to grind for. On Zinn Hub, every seller gets every feature from day one.

Pricing dictated by the platform

Fiverr forces 3-tier gig packages, caps your extras, and penalises pricing that doesn’t fit their algorithm’s expectations. You can’t freely structure your offers the way your service actually works.

Pay extra to be seen (Promoted Gigs)

Even after Fiverr’s 20% cut, you pay again for Promoted Gigs just to maintain visibility. Add Fiverr’s buyer-side fees on top and everyone pays more while you earn less.

The Real Comparison

What You Actually Keep — Zinn Hub vs Fiverr

Fiverr takes a 20% commission — plus a 3% payout fee every time you withdraw. That’s a real 22.4% gone on every dollar, and it never drops, no matter how much you sell. Zinn Hub charges no payout fee, ever, and your rate falls as you grow.

One structure across the whole marketplace. These rates apply to everything you earn on Zinn Hub — every Zinn, every project, every custom offer. No matter what you sell, the tiers and membership rates work exactly the same way.

📌 We’ve used Fiverr as the example here, but the same applies in full to every freelancer platform — the commission cuts and payout fees work the same way everywhere. Zinn Hub doesn’t. The more you sell, the more the gap grows in your favour.

What you get on Zinn Hub

Everything Fiverr locks behind levels, fees, or doesn’t offer at all — included from day one, for free.

Three revenue streams from day one

Gigs alone limit your income. Zinn Hub unlocks three: Zinns (your gig-style passive sales), Projects (active bidding with free proposals), and the Freelancer Directory (inbound hires). Same effort, triple the earning paths.

Your own payment accounts

Connect PayPal and/or Stripe directly. Payments go to your account at checkout — no Fiverr wallet, no 14-day clearance, no manual withdrawal.

Built-in crypto acceptance

Every Zinner accepts USDT & USDC automatically. Weekly Friday payouts to your own wallet, bank transfer, Payoneer, or PayPal — no crypto expertise needed.

0% commission start, sliding scale

First $500 in sales — zero commission. Then a sliding scale from 15% down to 8% that rewards total volume. No flat 20% forever.

No levels, no feature gates

No New Seller / Level 1 / Level 2 / Top Rated grind. Every Zinner gets every feature on day one — unlimited listings, all payout methods, full dashboard, everything.

Switching from Fiverr — your questions answered

Not at all. Run both platforms in parallel while you build your Zinn Hub presence. There’s no exclusivity requirement — keep your Fiverr gigs running, set up your Zinn Hub income streams alongside, and compare the results for yourself.
Zinn Hub does everything Fiverr does — plus two things Fiverr doesn’t. Zinns work just like Fiverr gigs: fixed pricing, direct checkout, no proposals needed. But we add two revenue streams Fiverr doesn’t offer: Projects where buyers post custom briefs and you bid for free (no Connects), and a public Freelancer Directory where buyers can hire you directly without you even listing a service. That’s three acquisition channels vs Fiverr’s one. On top of that: 0% commission on your first $500 (vs Fiverr’s 20% from order one), direct PayPal/Stripe payouts at checkout (vs 14-day clearance), and no levels system gating features.
Fiverr doesn’t have a project workflow, so it’s probably new to you. Zinn Hub Projects works like this: buyers post a description of what they need, freelancers submit free proposals explaining how they’d tackle it, and the buyer picks who to hire. It’s active income — you go after the work rather than waiting for it to come to you. Crucially, submitting proposals is always free, unlike Upwork’s Connects system. You’re not paying to try. If you’re already good at writing gig descriptions on Fiverr, you’ll be great at proposals — it’s the same skill applied to a specific brief.
Yes — absolutely. Zinns are Zinn Hub’s gig equivalent. Buyers browse, click buy, pay at checkout. Exactly the passive income model you know from Fiverr, except you control the pricing structure, there’s no levels gate on visibility, you get 0% commission on your first $500, and payment lands directly in your own PayPal or Stripe account at checkout. Your gig income keeps flowing — you’re just adding Projects and the Directory on top.
You connect your own PayPal and/or Stripe account. When a client buys your Zinn, hires you from a Project, or books you via the Directory, payment processes through your connected account at checkout. No Fiverr-style wallet, no 14-day clearance, no manual withdrawal. It’s your money, in your account, at the moment of sale.
Yes. Every Zinner automatically accepts USDT and USDC from buyers via NOWPayments — no crypto wallet required. We process payouts every Friday and you can receive the funds via bank transfer (UK, EU, or US), PayPal, Payoneer, or your own crypto wallet. Fiverr doesn’t support crypto at all.
Fiverr takes a flat 20% on every order, forever. No matter how long you’ve been with Fiverr or how many orders a client has placed, it’s always 20%. Zinn Hub gives you 0% on your first $500 in total sales, then a sliding scale that starts at 15% and drops to 8% as your volume grows. Over a year of steady earnings, the difference is substantial — use our Income Calculator to see the exact numbers for your volume.
External reviews and level status can’t be transferred directly (no freelance platform allows this), but you can showcase your Fiverr experience, portfolio, and testimonials in your Zinn Hub profile. More importantly, Zinn Hub has no levels system at all — so you don’t need to rebuild a level ladder. Every seller gets every feature from day one: unlimited listings, all payout methods, full dashboard, crypto acceptance, Projects bidding, directory presence — everything, immediately. You’ll build up Zinn Hub-specific reviews as you complete orders.
All digital services — SEO, web development, writing, design, marketing, video production, app development, virtual assistance, and more. If you offer it on Fiverr, you can list it on Zinn Hub. Plus you can also bid on custom Projects or be hired directly from the freelancer directory. Browse our marketplace categories to see where your services fit.
Most sellers are live within 30 minutes — register, connect payments, create your first Zinn or submit your first project proposal. No levels to grind, no approval queues, no waiting periods. If you want help setting up all three income streams at once, our Concierge service walks you through it for free.
