<p>Freelancer is a marketplace where employers and freelancers are able to find each other. The site allows employers to post work for site members who place bids in a <a href="Competitive_tendering" class="mw-redirect" title="Competitive tendering">competitive tender</a> process. The site also allows members to host and enter contests for which prize money is offered as a reward. Freelancers and employers develop profiles on the site as they offer, win, complete work, and write and receive reviews from people they work with or for. The site's members receive a finite number of bids to use on the site, which are periodically replenished. A series of account options are offered, ranging from free accounts to professional subscriptions.
</p><p>Freelancer takes a 10% fee, which can be reduced with paid monthly membership, with a minimum fee of $5.<sup id="cite_ref-freelancer.com_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-freelancer.com-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
