How it works

Both are marketplaces of ready-made, fixed-price services: a seller lists a service with packages, a buyer orders it, and the platform holds the payment until the work is delivered and accepted. Zinn Hub® calls its services Zinn®s and adds Micro Zinn®s — small fixed-price services from $5 — and a projects board where freelancers bid on work a buyer posts.

Where Zinn Hub® does better

Fees are where the two differ most. Fiverr takes 20% of every order and adds a 5.5% service fee to the buyer's payment, plus $3.50 on orders under $200. Zinn Hub® takes nothing on a seller's first $500 of sales, then a tiered commission that falls from 20% to 8% as sales grow, and adds no fee to the buyer's price. A Zinn Hub® seller who connects their own Stripe or PayPal is paid at checkout; a Fiverr seller waits 14 days after completion (7 on Fiverr's higher seller levels). Zinn Hub® also accepts payment in USDT and USDC, which Fiverr does not.

Where Fiverr may suit you better

Fiverr is an established, widely known marketplace, so in a niche category you may find more sellers to choose between, and a seller there may reach more buyers. Fiverr also returns a cancelled order to your card or PayPal on request, while Zinn Hub® credits every approved refund to your Zinn® Wallet for use on the platform.

What to check before you switch: Check that the category you need has enough sellers on Zinn Hub®, read the seller's verification badge and past work, and remember that a Zinn Hub® refund is wallet credit rather than money back to your card.

Our verdict

For sellers, Zinn Hub® keeps more of every sale — all of the first $500 — and pays faster. For buyers, the price shown is the price paid. Fiverr's advantage is how established it is.
