Which to use

Contra wins when you are looking for clients and want to keep the commission, not when you need a back office. Fiverr wins when you can sell a clear, repeatable service as a Gig that buyers purchase without a proposal.

Choose Contra if you want a commission-free network to find independent work.
Choose Fiverr if you would rather package a service at a fixed price than bid on jobs.
