Fiverr differentiates itself from traditional freelancing by adopting a "gig economy" model. Rather than having freelancers bid on projects as seen on platforms likework, Fiverr enables sellers to create specific service, referred to as “gigs,” which include defined deliverables, timelines, and pricing. Buyers can then review these preaged offerings and those that align with their needs.
