Contra completely solves the problem of high commission draws of traditional freelancing platforms through its innovative business model. As a collaboration network designed for independent workers, its core differentiator is that the platform does not deduct any commission payments from freelancers' project revenue, in contrast to traditional platforms such as Upwork that charge 20% service fees.
The platform is sustainable through a double charging mechanism:
- Contractual service fees on the client side to cover the platform's operating costs
- Offers a paid Contra Pro subscription with value-added features such as data analytics
This design ensures that freelancers get the full contract amount, especially benefiting professionals on high-unit-price projects. For example, when a developer takes on a $10,000 project, he or she can earn an additional $2,000 in revenue compared to traditional platforms.
