A new article from LLC Attorney.com compiles data on fees collected by some of the most widely used freelance and side gig platforms. It shows how much of each transaction is retained by the app rather than the side-gig worker.
We can see that most rideshare apps take about 25% to 30% of profits. Child and pet care apps vary widely, with Care.com taking 0% in fees, Rover at 20%, and Wag! at 40%. Sales apps also vary widely in their fee structures. Etsy takes 6.5% in fees, while eBay and Amazon take anywhere between 2.5% and 20%.
This comparative graphic allows readers to quickly compare platforms with each other. Some of these apps can drastically affect the take-home earnings of freelancers, side hustlers, and small business owners who rely on app-based work.
