Simple pricing, in rand

FairGig itself is free — escrow, ratings and your profile cost nothing, forever. FairGig+ is the optional subscription that lowers your service fee and lifts the proposal limit. Nothing is removed from the free plan to sell it.

How fees actually work

  • The quoted budget is what goes into escrow

    The service fee comes off at release, not at funding. A R48 000 gig means R48 000 sits in escrow, and a Starter freelancer receives R43 200 of it.

  • No fee to browse, apply or get hired

    Fees apply only to completed, paid work. Creating an account, building a profile and submitting proposals are all free on every plan.

  • Rand in, rand out

    Contracts are denominated in ZAR even when the client is overseas, so exchange-rate movement between agreement and payout is not your problem.

Quoting an international client?

Your contract stays in rand, which protects you from currency movement between the day you agree a price and the day the money lands. But you still need to tell an overseas client what your rate is in their currency.

Use the converter to sanity-check a quote. Rates are indicative and refresh daily — they are a guide, not a dealing rate, and your bank will apply its own.
