8 Websites Like Fiverr You Should Check Out [Alternatives]

Fiverr is a great place for both business owners and freelancers. When I started my freelance writing business and struggled to get clients initially, I started a couple of writing gigs on Fiverr and made some money. I got a lot of orders, but I had to stop as back then, you could only create $5 offers. It helped me get a quick cash injection when I needed it. But it wasn’t suitable for long-term use. 

I think it’s better currently as freelancers can create custom offers and set their own prices. This makes it better for both freelancers and business owners. As freelancers get to earn more and businesses can choose services based on their budget and the quality of work they’re looking for. 

Still, Fiverr isn’t for everyone. It has some disadvantages. There are plenty of Fiverr alternatives that might suit you better. So, I made a list of them below…

Here are 8 Fiverr alternatives you should check out

Markethire

If you’re a freelancer who is tired of low paying gigs on Fiverr, you should try out Markethire. This is the place where successful companies such as Netflix and All Birds go to look for freelance talent. 

Businesses will find some of the best marketing talent here as they have an extensive vetting process.

Upwork

Upwork is a very different Fiverr alternative. On sites like Fiverr and Markethire, people directly approach freelancers, but on Upwork, freelancers apply for jobs listed by businesses. 

99designs

99designs is like Upwork for designers. Businesses start by submitting a brief about what they’re looking for. After that, designers can apply, and businesses can choose their favorite. 

Malt

The best place to find top freelance talent in Europe is Malt. Here you can select freelancers based on skill, location, and rate and contact them directly. 

People Per Hour

People Per Hour is another site where businesses can post projects, and freelancers can apply to work. 

Freelancer

Freelancer is very similar to Upwork. Businesses can post a job here, and freelancers can apply. 

Guru

Guru is a site with over 3 million freelancers. The model is akin to most of the top platforms where businesses post a job and freelancers can apply. 

Toptal

As the name suggests, this is the site for finding top freelancers. It only lists the profiles of freelancers in the to 3%. If you have a decent budget and would like to attract the best marketers in the world, this is the site you should choose. 

Conclusion:

These are the top 8 sites like Fiverr you should check out. Both freelancers and businesses will find them useful. You can use all of them if you’d like. But I recommend that you only use two.

You can start by testing out all the Fiverr alternatives and then pick one or two. All of them are free to try. For most, you will pay only when you hire someone or get hired. They take a cut of the sale either from the business or the freelancer.
