At Tskr, our aim is to provide an accessible playground where freelancers and clients alike can connect and work together effectively, without additional unnecessary stress.

The Tskr Story

Tskr was born from the frustrations and challenges faced by its freelancer founders. Having navigated the turbulent waters of competing platforms, they firsthand witnessed the deteriorating dynamics - the inundation of spam, escalating scams, rising costs and the often-unfair power imbalances between clients and freelancers and the accompanying rating systems. Over time, these platforms seemed to stray from their original mission, and largely at the expense of the very freelancers they were meant to serve.

Understanding the gravity of what freelancers risk when they commit to such platforms - essentially staking their livelihoods and reputations - the Tskr team felt a compelling responsibility to create something different. They believed that any platform acting as a bridge between freelancers and clients should do so with integrity, transparency, and good faith. This belief laid the cornerstone for Tskr. Built on the principles of fairness and respect, Tskr is more than just a marketplace - it's a promise to freelancers and clients alike that they will be supported and treated justly in their professional endeavors.

Transparency, No Hidden Costs

Them: Confusing pricing structures, sliding scales, and often unexpected charges make it difficult for freelancers to predict their earnings - and clients, to predict their costs

Us: We champion simplicity with our flat-rate pricing. Every project has a straightforward 5% fee. No surprises. No extra charges based on your success. No need to pull out a calculator.

Fighting Digital Nuisances

Them: The rise of spam and AI-generated postings or proposals can be overwhelming and untrustworthy.

Them: Restricted payment methods can delay or even jeopardize freelancers' platform earnings.

Us: We believe in freedom when it comes to your money. Tskr offers a broad range of payment methods, from traditional ACH/Bank Transfers and PayPal to modern options like Bitcoin. To be clear, while we do appreciate technology, that's about as far in to the "crypto" rabbit as we're going.

No More Pay-To-Win

Them: A system where the highest bidder gets undue advantage, often sidelining genuine talent in favor of those with money to burn.

Us: Tskr ensures a level playing field for all freelancers - we don't believe in a pay-to-win approach. Skills and expertise are the only currencies that matter here, ensuring that every freelancer has an equal shot at success.
