Why Choose Gig.tn Over Other Platforms?

🚀 The First Freelancing & Escrow Marketplace in Tunisia

Updated over 2 months ago

Freelancers and buyers in Tunisia have long struggled with international platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and Escrow.com, which come with high fees, payment restrictions, and limited local support.

Gig.tn changes everything.

We’re Tunisia’s first fully localized freelance & escrow platform, built for Tunisians and international clients who want to buy and sell services safely.

If you’ve ever faced issues with international payment restrictions, expensive fees, or unprotected transactions, Gig.tn is your solution.

🔹 The Biggest Problems with Other Platforms & How Gig.tn Fixes Them

1️⃣ High Fees That Eat into Your Earnings

  • Fiverr takes 20% of your income.

  • Upwork charges 10-20% and forces clients to pay extra fees.

  • Escrow.com has unpredictable transaction costs.

🚀 Gig.tn charges just 10% for freelancers and 5% for buyers—making it the most affordable professional freelancing platform.


2️⃣ No Support for Tunisian Dinar or National Cards

  • Most platforms only support USD, EUR, or crypto, blocking many Tunisian freelancers.

  • Upwork & Fiverr make you use expensive third-party payout services.

🚀 Gig.tn allows payments and withdrawals in Tunisian Dinar (DNT), supports local banks, and enables Tunisian credit/debit card transactions!


3️⃣ No Escrow Protection on International Freelance Platforms

  • On Fiverr & Upwork, buyers pay upfront, but freelancers don’t get full protection if a dispute happens.

  • On Escrow.com, payments are secure, but the process is complex & expensive for freelancers.

🚀 Gig.tn combines both:

  • Freelancers get paid securely when work is delivered.

  • Buyers’ payments are protected until they receive what they paid for.

  • Escrow is seamless, automatic, and included in every transaction.


4️⃣ Slow & Unhelpful Support on International Platforms

  • Fiverr & Upwork have slow, automated, or outsourced customer service.

  • Escrow.com’s support is focused on large business transactions, not freelancers.

🚀 Gig.tn provides fast, localized support—no waiting weeks for a response.

  • Manual dispute resolution by real people.

  • Live chat & ticket support system.

  • Dedicated Tunisian team for urgent issues.


🔹 More Than Just Freelancing – Gig.tn Supports All Digital Transactions

Unlike Fiverr or Upwork, Gig.tn isn’t just for freelancers. It’s also an escrow-secured marketplace for buying and selling digital assets safely.

📌 Examples of transactions that require escrow protection:

Buying & Selling Facebook Pages
Instagram & TikTok Account Transfers
Domain Name & Website Sales
Digital Product Sales (Templates, UI Kits, PDFs, Graphics, etc.)
NFT & Crypto Transactions
Marketing & SEO Campaigns
App & Software Licensing
Custom Coding & Development Projects

🚨 If a seller refuses to use escrow, they’re likely a scammer. Always keep transactions on Gig.tn for protection.


🔹 The Gig.tn Freelancer Advantage

If you’re a freelancer, Gig.tn gives you tools to grow your business faster than international platforms.

🔹 Post up to 10 gigs (after KYC verification)
🔹 Sell add-ons & upsells to boost earnings

📌 You don’t have to compete with thousands of global sellers—Gig.tn prioritizes local talent.
