What is the Sfeerze fee for freelancers?

A flat 20% on completed, paid work. Not on proposals. Not on profile views.

How are Sfeerze expert calls priced?

Each expert sets a per-minute rate, and you pay only for minutes used. Public rates on Sfeerze start around $1.00/min.

No separate escrow surcharge. Job funds sit in the wallet until you release them.

Why 20% for experts if clients pay 0%?

Sfeerze runs on a single-sided fee. Keeping the buyer price clean is what gets clients to actually hire — experts pay only after they earn.

Are there connects or listing boosts?

No. Discovery runs on your profile, the skill feed, and search — nothing paid to get seen.
