How it works
Legiit is a marketplace of fixed-price services listed by sellers — the same shape as Fiverr — where a buyer orders a listed service and the seller delivers it.
| Fiverr | Legiit | Zinn Hub® | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seller fee | 20% of every order, including extras and tips[1] | 15% of each sale[2] | 0% on your first $500 of sales, then 20% falling in steps to 8% as your lifetime sales grow; a flat 8% on Pro ($25/month) or 7% on Agency ($50/month)[3] |
| Buyer fee | 5.5% service fee on every payment, plus $3.50 on orders under $200[4] | A processing fee of up to 3% when paying through a third-party provider; none when paying from wallet funds[2] | None — the listed price is the price at checkout[5] |
| When sellers are paid | 14 days after the order completes (7 days for Seller Plus, Top Rated and Pro freelancers); orders auto-complete 3 days after delivery[6] | Verified within 5 days of the buyer marking the order complete (orders auto-complete after 3 days), then up to 72 hours to arrive; at most $1,000 a day[2] | Instant into your own connected Stripe or PayPal account; otherwise paid automatically every Friday once completed earnings reach $50[7] |
| Payout methods | PayPal (no fee), bank transfer via Payoneer ($1) or a Payoneer account ($3); up to $5,000 per withdrawal[8] | PayPal or Payoneer; $3 per withdrawal[2] | Your own Stripe or PayPal, or payouts to PayPal, USDT/USDC, UK, SEPA or US bank, Payoneer or your Zinn® Wallet[7] |
| Buyer protection | A cancelled order is credited to your Fiverr balance; a refund to your card or PayPal has to be requested and can take up to 10 days[9] | An unfulfilled or cancelled order is refunded as Legiit wallet credit, not to the original payment method[2] | Payment is held until you accept the delivery (auto-accepted 5 days after delivery); staff review disputes; approved refunds are credited to your Zinn® Wallet[7] |
| Minimum order | $5 minimum starting price; some categories set a higher minimum[10] | Not stated on the pages we checked[2] | Micro Zinn®s start from $5[11] |
| How it works | Fixed-price services (Gigs) with packages and add-ons[10] | Fixed-price services and products listed by sellers[2] | Fixed-price services (Zinn®s), small Micro Zinn®s and projects that freelancers bid on[11] |
| How buyers pay | Cards, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay; cryptocurrency is not accepted[12] | Not stated on the pages we checked[2] | Cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), PayPal, USDT and USDC[5] |
