Gig.tn is designed to be the most affordable, fair, and transparent freelancing and escrow platform in Tunisia.
Unlike international platforms like Fiverr (20% freelancer fee) or Upwork (10-20%), Gig.tn keeps fees low while covering the costs of secure transactions, escrow protection, and local support.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of what fees exist on the platform and why they matter.
🔹 Freelancer Fees on Gig.tn
📌 Freelancers are charged a 10% service fee on every completed order.
Example:
You sell a service for 200 DNT
Gig.tn takes 10% (20 DNT)
You receive 180 DNT in your account balance
🔹 Why Does Gig.tn Charge This Fee?
Covers secure escrow transactions (protecting freelancers from non-paying buyers)
Funds manual dispute resolution (unlike Fiverr/Upwork, where decisions are automated)
Pays for marketing, platform development, and security improvements
💡 Gig.tn's 10% fee is among the lowest in the industry—less than Fiverr (20%) and the same as Upwork’s minimum fee.
🔹 Buyer Fees on Gig.tn
📌 Buyers pay a small 5% processing fee when placing an order.
Example:
You order a service worth 300 DNT
Gig.tn charges a 5% processing fee (15 DNT)
Your total payment = 315 DNT
🔹 Why Does Gig.tn Charge a Buyer Fee?
Covers escrow processing & transaction security
Ensures safe payment handling & fraud prevention
Helps fund customer support & dispute resolution services
💡 This fee is lower than international platforms—many charge extra processing fees (Fiverr takes up to 10%, Upwork charges payment fees + VAT).
🔹 Payment Withdrawal Fees for Freelancers
Once freelancers reach 150 DNT in earnings, they can withdraw their funds through three payout methods:
Withdrawal Method | Fee | Processing Time |
Konnect (D17 Wallet) | Free | Instant - 24h |
Bank Transfer (for withdrawals over 1000 DNT) | 10 DNT | 1-3 business days |
Check (for withdrawals over 1000 DNT) | Free | 1-2 weeks |
🚨 Tip: Konnect is the fastest & most cost-effective way to withdraw your money.
🔹 Refund Fees & Policy
If a refund is issued, buyers receive funds as Gig.tn platform credit.
If the refund amount is over 150 DNT, it can be withdrawn to a bank account (standard withdrawal fees apply).
No additional refund processing fees—unlike PayPal, which charges fees on refunded transactions.
💡 Refunds are manually reviewed to ensure fairness, preventing abuse from buyers or sellers.
🔹 Why Gig.tn’s Fees Are Fair & Competitive
Many platforms charge hidden or extra fees—Gig.tn keeps it simple and transparent.
Platform | Freelancer Fees | Buyer Fees | Extra Processing Fees? |
Gig.tn | 10% | 5% | No extra hidden fees |
Fiverr | 20% | 5-10% | Yes (service fees, VAT, conversion fees) |
Upwork | 10-20% | 3-5% | Yes (payment processing fees, VAT, currency fees) |
Escrow.com | Varies | Varies | Yes (high transaction fees, tiered pricing) |
📌 Gig.tn’s fees are designed to be fair while ensuring platform sustainability and high-quality service.
