PeoplePerHour

A fixed-price offer can make a repeatable service easier to compare. Define what the buyer receives and use the freelancer profile to provide context about the relevant skills. For a project with a less settled scope, the marketplace also provides a route for discussing work with the client.

PeoplePerHour’s published commission structure follows lifetime billing with each buyer. It states 20% below £250, 7.5% between £250 and £5,000 and 3.5% above £5,000, excluding VAT, with a minimum invoice fee. These are freelancer earnings charges; the support page says registration, searching for projects and posting an offer have no fee. A repeat client can therefore have a different fee position from a new buyer. Compare the proposed work against the appropriate buyer relationship rather than assuming one commission percentage applies to every engagement.

Freelancers are reviewed and approved before joining the working marketplace. A free signup is therefore separate from being accepted to offer services or pursue projects.
