The math
What a $6,000 project actually costs
Same project, all fees on the table. The freelancer's rate is between you and the freelancer: SuperGig charges the subscription and nothing on top.
| Plan | Monthly fee | Project fee | You pay in total | Freelancer receives |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Business | $349 | None | $6,000 + $349/mo | $6,000, paid by you directly |
| Enterprise | $598 | None | $6,000 + $598/mo | $6,000 |
One subscription keeps one project post open. When the project is filled, replace the post with your next one from the manage link; the $349 stays the same.
What freelancers pay? Nothing
Applying to a project on the board is free, and SuperGig takes no cut of the rate you agree. Browse the open freelance projects.
Escrow
Escrow protection on every milestone
Milestone escrow for freelancers holds each payment until you approve the work. You fund a milestone, the freelancer delivers, and the money moves only when you say so.
- Funded before work starts, released only on your approval
- Human dispute resolution
- No fee on top of the freelancer's rate

Fee questions
Freelance marketplace fees, without the fine print
What does Business include today?
One project post on the public SuperGig project board while your subscription is paid. Freelancers apply through the form on your post and each application is forwarded to your inbox. A private link lets you edit the post, pause it, replace it with your next project, open your billing history or cancel.
Is there a project fee?
No. Business is $349 per month, or $2,088 a year if you pay yearly (50% off), and nothing else. SuperGig does not take a percentage of what you pay a freelancer: you agree the rate and pay them directly.
Can I pay for SuperGig yearly?
Yes, and it halves the price. Business billed yearly is $2,088, which works out to $174 a month instead of $349, a saving of $2,100 over twelve monthly payments. Enterprise billed yearly is $3,588, or $299 a month instead of $598. Both are charged once a year by card and can be cancelled from your manage link.
Is SuperGig cheaper than Upwork?
It depends on how much you spend. SuperGig is a flat fee, so a percentage platform costs less at low volume. Against Upwork Basic at 5%, Business monthly ($349) wins above about $6,980 a month in freelancer spend, and billed yearly ($174 a month) above about $3,480. Against Business Plus at 10%, the break-even drops to about $3,490 and $1,740.
Do I have to pay a deposit or talk to sales first?
No. There is no deposit, no setup fee and no sales call before you can post. You pay the Business or Enterprise subscription by card at checkout, your project post goes live on the board, and the rate you agree with a freelancer is paid to them directly, with no SuperGig percentage added on top.
Is there a free plan?
No. There is a demo: the matching preview on the homepage shows how a shortlist is laid out, with no account and no card. Posting a real project needs the Business plan.
How do I cancel Business?
Use the private manage link we email when your post goes live. Cancel there and you will not be charged again; the post stays on the board until the end of the period you paid for, whether that is the month or the year.
We publish these numbers because most premium networks will not: no $500 deposits, no sales-call gate, no rates hidden behind an intake form. See how the fees stack up as an Upwork alternative and a Toptal alternative, or read every marketplace fee side by side in freelance platform fees for clients, which works out the exact monthly spend where a flat fee overtakes a percentage and where it does not.
Moving spend off a marketplace you already pay? The Upwork pricing and fees page runs the Basic and Business Plus rates against this plan at real monthly volumes, Toptal pricing and hourly rates separates the subscription from the markup, and Fiverr pricing for buyers shows what the service fee adds to each order.
