Freelance marketplace
Not clearFreelancers set their own rates/packages; Contra publishes no typical rates. Contra is portfolio/network-driven (skews to design, product, no-code, AI creative work) rather than open bidding. Contra doesn’t state a rate we can turn into your money.
FeeNoneOptional Contra Pro subscription for freelancers ($29/month per official page). Third-party sources report an optional 'faster payout' fee (~2%, 1% with Pro), which was not verified officially. Client-side fees: the official page says $19 per contract or $19/month per contractor, while third-party sources say $29, so the figures conflict.No one should ask you to pay to work.
Entry testNoOpen sign-up with portfolio profile; no screening test found. Payout onboarding runs through Stripe/partners, which likely requires identity/KYC details (not confirmed).
