Djobzy is a location-based work and services marketplace where workers keep 100% of the agreed price. Fiverr is a gig-catalog marketplace where sellers list fixed-price packages, buyers place orders, and Fiverr takes a flat 20% commission on the seller side plus a service fee on the buyer side.
The comparison isn’t complicated: they use different economic models. Fiverr’s flat 20% is the highest of the major freelance platforms, but it’s paired with an enormous buyer base and instant discoverability. Djobzy’s zero-commission-for-workers model changes the math on take-home earnings but doesn’t come with Fiverr’s buyer volume. Here’s the full picture.

Verification
Djobzy
Seven levels: email, phone, social, address, government ID, payment card, and interview plus third-party background check.
A trust signal, not a guarantee of safety, character or competence.
Fiverr
Seller-level system (New Seller, Level 1, Level 2, Top Rated Seller, Fiverr Pro) based on volume, ratings and delivery consistency. Not a background check — a performance signal.7
Reputation portability
Djobzy
Career Passport — a portable professional record carrying reputation, reviews, experience and work history across locations and opportunities.
Fiverr
Reviews, ratings and Seller Level live on the Fiverr profile. Reputation stays inside Fiverr — there’s no documented mechanism to export it, and Fiverr’s terms discourage moving relationships off-platform.8
Repeat work

Fiverr
Buyers can save sellers and place repeat orders. The 20% commission applies to every repeat order — no volume discount for either side.9

Fiverr
Global. Fiverr operates in over 160 countries, all remote-first.10

Which situation fits which platform
Fiverr may fit better if
You want to sell standardised digital services (logo, voiceover, translation, quick edits) with fixed pricing to a huge buyer base, and you can price your work to absorb the 20% commission. For buyers under a ~$1,000 budget who need something scoped and fast, Fiverr's discovery is genuinely efficient.
Djobzy may fit better if
You want to keep the full price of your work rather than losing 20% off every order, or your work is a mix of local and remote — not just digital. Djobzy's zero-commission model changes your take-home significantly on higher-priced work.
Do the fee math on your own work
A $500 gig on Fiverr pays the seller $400 (before withdrawal fees). The same $500 on Djobzy pays the worker $500. That's the trade-off — Fiverr's buyer volume vs Djobzy's take-home rate. The right platform depends on how much of that gap the buyer traffic actually fills.
Zero commission on every order
Keep 100% of what you charge, not 80%.
Workers pay zero commission. Employers pay a 15% platform fee, visible before you confirm.
