Switch from Khamsat to Zinn Hub
Khamsat is an Arabic-language marketplace for fixed-price digital services, and it publishes a 20% seller commission on its own site. Zinn Hub sells the same way, in 45 languages, and takes 0% on your first $500.
0% on your first $500 · 45 languages · No buyer feesThree ways to earn on Zinn Hub
Fixed-price listings will be completely familiar. The other two channels are what a gig-only marketplace does not give you.
Fixed-price service packages with their own listing page. Buyers browse, buy at checkout and you deliver — no proposal, no negotiation. Micro Zinns sit underneath at $5, $10, $15 or $20 for small, defined jobs. This is passive income: your catalogue sells while you are working on something else.
Buyers post a brief on the projects board and you send a proposal explaining how you would do it. Posting is free for the buyer and proposals are free for you — there are no bidding credits to buy. This is active income: you go and get the work.
A public profile with your skills, rates and portfolio in the freelancer directory. Buyers search it by category and hire you directly, with no listing and no proposal in between. This is inbound income: the buyer finds you.
More channels means more conversations, and more conversations means more orders.
You do not have to pick one. Publish your Zinns so the catalogue sells on its own, send free proposals when you want more work in the diary, and keep a directory profile live so buyers can approach you cold. Same skills, three doors.
Six reasons Zinners move to Zinn Hub
These are the things sellers tell us they want next. None of them is a criticism of anyone else’s platform — they are simply what Zinn Hub was built to do.
You want to be read in more than one language
Khamsat operates entirely in Arabic. Zinn Hub is read in 45 languages and can message you in 57, so the same Zinn is understood by a buyer in Cairo, Kuala Lumpur or Cologne.
You want a $5 entry point that still scales
Micro Zinns are fixed-price services at $5, $10, $15 or $20 — a familiar first rung. Above them, a full Zinn can be priced at whatever the work is worth. Browse graphics and design micros or the $5 tier.
You want your first sales to cost you nothing
Zinn Hub’s ladder starts at zero: 0% commission on your first $500, then tiered rates that fall as you sell — as low as 7% on Agency Zinner. The full six-tier table is on the pricing page.
You want a second way to win work
A listing waits to be found. On the projects board buyers post a brief and you send a proposal — free, with no bidding credits to buy.
You want buyers to find you without a listing at all
A freelancer directory profile is searchable on its own. Buyers browse UI/UX design or any other category and hire you directly.
You want the buyer to pay exactly what you quoted
Buyers pay no platform fee on Zinn Hub, so the number on your listing is the number they are charged.
What Khamsat publishes about its own fees
We publish a competitor’s number only when that competitor publishes it themselves. Khamsat does, in two places on its own domains.
- Seller commission: 20%. Khamsat’s own How It Works page states a commission of $1 for every $5, deducted from the seller and not passable to the buyer. Its own help centre states the same as 20% of seller earnings, with a worked example of a $10 platform fee on a $50 order.
- It holds the money and releases it on acceptance. Khamsat describes an escrow-style flow: funds are held and released to the seller after the buyer accepts.
- It runs entirely in Arabic. There is no English interface anywhere on the site or its help centre. Its name means “fives”, after the $5 entry price the marketplace was built around.
- Khamsat and Mostaql are run by the same company. Both About pages name Hsoub Limited, registered in the United Kingdom under company number 07571594.

How to move across in five steps
Nothing here needs a support ticket. The whole migration is self-serve, and you can keep selling where you are while you do it.
Register free
Open a Zinner account at registration. No subscription, no card, and every feature available from the start.
Import your services
Paste a listing — or your whole profile — into Import My Services and it comes back as ready-to-review Zinns. Ten free imports, images included, and nothing goes live until you approve it. Select Other Platforms if yours is not listed.
Decide the language you write in
Write your Zinn once in your strongest language. Zinn Hub renders the marketplace in 45 languages, so buyers browsing in another one still read your listing. Arabic is available for messaging, not as a browse language.
Set expectations on reviews
No marketplace transfers another site’s rating. The import tool can carry up to ten of your existing reviews across word for word; verified-purchase reviews here are earned as you complete orders.
Turn on all three channels
Publish your Zinns and Micro Zinns, complete your directory profile, and start proposing on projects.
What you get on Zinn Hub
Every figure below is published by Zinn Hub itself and applies to every Zinner from the first day. There is no level system to climb before a feature unlocks.
Your first $500 is commission-free
0% commission on your first $500, then tiered rates that fall as you sell — as low as 7% on Agency Zinner. The complete six-tier ladder is published on the pricing page, with no rate hidden behind a login.
Buyers pay no platform fee
The price on your listing is the price the buyer is charged. Nothing is added at checkout, so your quote stays your quote.
45 languages, 57 for messaging, 59 currencies
Zinn Hub is available in 45 languages, you can be messaged in 57, and buyers can view prices in 59 display currencies. Charging is always in USD, so what you are paid never depends on a rate.
Two payment modes, and you choose
Zinners who connect their own payment account are paid instantly at checkout; Zinners on platform-protected payments are paid from the payout queue once the order completes and their balance reaches the $50 minimum.
Verified Zinners, verified reviews
Zinners are verified with government-issued photo ID and evidence of their skills and past work, and reviews on Zinn Hub require a confirmed purchase.
A marketplace buyers already use
A 4.9 average from 39,000+ verified-purchase reviews, over 10,000 services listed and over 400 active categories — browse them all from the category index.
Moving your listings across takes minutes, not days
Import My Services is a free, self-serve tool. Paste a service listing — or your whole profile — and it comes back as ready-to-review Zinns, images included, at roughly two minutes per Zinn. Ten free imports, and you preview and confirm before anything is submitted.
