    How this is calculated

    For each platform we apply its published freelancer-side commission to your earnings. Where a platform charges its fee to the client instead (such as Toptal or Malt), the freelancer-side rate is 0%. ListAllExperts charges no commission at all — only a small flat monthly listing fee.

    Commission figures reflect each platform's published freelancer-side rates and are indicative; payment-processing and other fees may apply. Ranges show tiered or volume-based rates. Last reviewed 2026-06-04.
