For the decision maker
The ROI case, in your numbers
A senior agency developer bills roughly twice the freelance market rate for the same seniority. Move one 20-hour-a-week engagement to SuperGig and the difference funds an entire second project. Time matters too: our average time-to-hire is 48 hours against an industry average of 5 weeks.
- One consolidated monthly invoice, not 30 contractor invoices.
- Contractor-compliance cover through AOR/EOR partners: classification risk sits with them, not you.
- SSO/SAML, custom roles and audit log on the freelance management platform plan.

Where SuperGig fits among your options
| What you care about | Open marketplaces | Elite networks | SuperGig |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vetting | None. Anyone can bid. | Deep, but opaque | 4 stages, a <1 in 20 bar |
| Time to shortlist | Days of sorting 100+ bids | Sales call first, then intake | 48 hours, self-serve |

| Pricing | Low bids, hidden rework cost | Opaque, $500+ to start | 10% per project, rates public |
Named, side-by-side breakdowns: Upwork alternative and Toptal alternative.
"Top 1% surely means top price."
Freelancers keep 100% of their rate here, so top people charge fair market rate, not market rate plus a 20% platform cut.
"What if the match is wrong?"
Escrow means you have not paid for anything you did not approve, and a new shortlist arrives within 48 hours, free.
"I do not have time for another platform."
One 10-minute brief. No job ads to write, no bids to sort, no interviews you did not ask for.
Questions
What clients ask before their first hire
How are freelancers vetted?
Four stages: portfolio review, a skills assessment, a paid live project simulation and reference checks. The screen is built to pass fewer than 1 in 20 applicants, and everyone is re-reviewed after every project rating.
What happens if the work is bad?
You approve every milestone before escrow releases a dollar. If a match is not working, you get a new shortlist within 48 hours at no cost under the rematch guarantee.
What does SuperGig cost?
Marketplace is pay per project with a 10% fee and no monthly charge. Business is $349/mo plus a 5% project fee. Enterprise is custom. No deposits and no sales call required.
How fast can my project start?
Your shortlist arrives within 48 hours of the brief (24 hours on Business), and most projects start within a week.
Do freelancers cost more on SuperGig?
Rates are fair market rate for top talent: freelancers keep 100% of what they charge, so they do not pad rates to cover platform fees.
More on vetting, escrow, invoicing and compliance in the SuperGig FAQ.
