eGigFiverr alternatives: sites like Fiverr for sellers in India
Fiverr sellers keep 80% of each order, and buyers pay a further 5.5%, so a ₹1,000 order costs the buyer ₹1,055 and pays the seller ₹800. On eGig the same order pays the seller ₹1,000 and costs the buyer ₹1,000, because eGig takes no commission and does not handle the payment. What you give up is Fiverr’s hold on the money and its buyers. Fees read on 24 Oct 2026.

Which suits you
- You are a beginner: a marketplace with buyers and a hold on the money protects you from non-payment, at a price. With direct deals, ask for part-payment first and start small.
- You already have clients in India: a zero-commission route keeps the whole fee. Show your work on an eGig profile, and send a proper invoice.
- You want buyers abroad: Fiverr and Upwork reach more of them than eGig does today.
- You design: keep a portfolio that you own, and link it everywhere, because reviews on one platform do not move with you.
What eGig does not do
eGig does not hold the money or handle refunds, so it cannot settle a dispute the way Fiverr can. It has far fewer buyers than Fiverr, and few from abroad. If you need a steady flow of orders today, keep your listing on the big sites and use eGig alongside them.
Questions people ask
What sites are like Fiverr in India?
eGig has fixed-price services (gigs) with no commission, and clients pay sellers directly. Freelancer.com, Truelancer, Upwork and PeoplePerHour also take fixed-price work, mostly by proposals rather than a listing buyers order from.
Which is better for beginners, Fiverr or Upwork?
Neither is easy at the start, because new accounts have no reviews. On Fiverr, buyers find a listing. On Upwork, you write proposals, and sending them can cost credits. A small first job at a fair price, and asking every client for a review, matters more than the site.
Is there a Fiverr alternative with no commission?
Yes. eGig takes no commission from sellers or buyers, because it does not handle the payment. Contra also says it charges freelancers no commission. Fiverr’s 20% pays for holding the money and resolving disputes, so weigh the fee against that risk.
