Post a gigChoosing Unjumble, questions
If the work matters and you want a local freelancer who knows the Aussie market, Unjumble is the safer bet. Every freelancer joins with an ABN and an Australian mobile, you pay by stage through Stripe, and your bidder pool is local, not global. Global marketplaces are fine for quick, low-cost one-offs; Unjumble is built for the gigs you actually need to land.
Plenty of small businesses do. Keep the agency for the ongoing programs they manage well and run one-off gigs through Unjumble when you want to pick the exact freelancer, skip the retainer and pay by stage. They are not mutually exclusive.
Unjumble freelancers set their own prices in AUD, and you only pay for the gig (no platform markup, no retainer, no agency overhead). Global marketplaces are often priced in USD and add their own fees on top; agencies bundle freelancer time into a monthly retainer. For most single gigs, posting on Unjumble lands cheaper and clearer.
Every gig is split into stages you both agree on up front. Funds are held securely through Stripe and only released once you sign off. If the work is not delivered, the funds stay with you. You can also flag the freelancer; we review every report and act on the ones that breach our standards.
Yes. Posting a gig is free, browsing bids is free, and you only pay for the work itself, agreed up front and split into stages. No subscription, no platform fee on top of the freelancer's quote.
