Biggest feature in a long time just released to very little fanfare

[visualstudios]

Finally, hourly rates! Launching in july, for Fiverr Pro clients.

Shouldn't that be available for everyone?

It's a beta, so probably not.

So Fiverr has started to copying the features of other platforms and then implementing them on their own platform (even it's for Fiverr Pro).

Well, it goes both ways. Upwork implemented fixed cost projects (which are basically gigs) a while ago, and that started with Fiverr...

Other platform (that starts with Freel....) is still stuck there with the bidding and hourly projects features too. It has already fixed cost projects. But I think Fiverr will launch that hourly rates feature for some specific categories (niche).

As UW copied Fiverr by adding gigs. They always copy each other. It's not the first time, nor the last. Even the succes score has a lot of elements from Upwork too.

UW has become more complex these days so Fiverr should not do the same with their users (sellers + buyers) like UW . I know our opinions are never gonna be considered in these things but still Fiverr should think about their users rather than focusing on copying others.

Hi @navid_zafar! This is currently only available to Fiverr Pro users but of course, we will continue to explore the future of this exciting new feature! Let's see how it does with PRO first. 🤗💚

Hey, will it be available for the whole account or only Pro gig?

I'm not sure that this is a big deal, to be honest.

My reasoning is as follows:

• Build your hourly rate into your Gig price
• Optional extras in lumps of your hourly rate
• Milestone-based Gigs allow this in micro-lumps of hour-based pricing
