Why We Use Contra.com: The Freelancer’s Best Tool
When it comes to freelancing, finding the right platform can make or break your experience. Over the years, many freelancers have turned to apps like Fiverr and Upwork, but these platforms often come with high fees, limited client relationships, and questionable payment security. That’s why we’ve made Contra.com our go-to platform for freelancing. Here’s why we think it’s the best choice for creatives and professionals looking to thrive.
Secure Payments for Freelancers Worldwide
For freelancers outside the U.S., Contra is a game-changer. Payment security is often a concern on other platforms, but Contra ensures every transaction is secure, giving you peace of mind that you’ll get paid for your work—on time, every time. Unlike some platforms that make payments feel like a gamble, Contra’s payment system is seamless and reliable, making it the safest option for international professionals.
No Fees for Freelancers
Unlike Fiverr and Upwork, which take significant cuts from your hard-earned income, Contra doesn’t charge freelancers any fees. You keep 100% of what you earn. This alone sets it apart as the best freelancing platform for those who want to focus on their craft without worrying about unnecessary deductions. There is also a Pro version that unlocks additional features and enhances your discoverability, making it easier for clients to find and connect with you.
A Community-Driven Approach
With the upcoming community feature, Contra is set to become more than just a freelancing platform. Imagine a concentrated creative feed—like LinkedIn but far more niche and tailored for professionals in design, writing, development, and more. This will make Contra the first true "social feed" for freelancers, where collaboration, inspiration, and networking thrive in one space. It’s not just about jobs; it’s about building meaningful connections.
Stand Out as an Expert
Contra allows freelancers to showcase their expertise like no other platform. Through their recognition feature, you can be officially tagged as an expert in the tools you use—Framer, Figma, Webflow, or others. This validation isn’t just a confidence boost; it’s a powerful way to prove to clients that you’re the real deal. Clients want to work with the best, and Contra gives you the tools to show them you are.
A Discovery Platform That Works
If your profile is built right, Contra becomes a discovery engine for new leads. In 2024, we saw more client leads from Contra than from any other freelancing platform. Clients are actively browsing for talent, and Contra’s clean, modern interface makes it easy for them to find professionals like you. Unlike other platforms where you’re buried in a sea of low-bid offers, Contra helps you stand out.
A Better Experience for Both Sides
Contra isn’t just great for freelancers; it’s better for clients too. The platform fosters direct relationships without the barriers and complexities found on Fiverr or Upwork. This leads to stronger collaborations, better results, and a more enjoyable process for everyone involved.
