A new kind of professional network
Contra isn’t just another marketplace, it’s a network built for creativity.
At its core is the Contra feed: your new creative home. It’s where ideas meet opportunity:
Post your work to share what you do and how you do it.
Get inspired by a global community of creatives sharing projects, insights, and tools.
Connect and collaborate with other independents and clients ready to hire.
Every post on the feed is a chance to build your brand, attract clients, and grow your career.
Real work, real people
The Contra community is built on authenticity. Here, you’ll find real creatives with verified project histories, proven experience, and a dedication to their craft.
No middlemen. No commission fees. Just direct collaboration between the world’s most creative people and the companies who want to work with them.
With Contra’s commission-free payment platform, creatives keep 100% of what they earn and can manage everything from proposals to payouts in one place.
Join the creative current
The new Contra is designed to help you create more, connect more, and get more creative.
When you post on Contra, you’re joining a movement. You’re putting your skills in front of potential clients, collaborators, and the broader creative community.
From day one, every post helps you get noticed. The more you share, the more discoverable you become.
So, whether you’re here to land your next project, find your next creative partner, or simply be inspired, the feed is where it all begins.
Commission-free, how it should be
Contra’s mission has always been clear: empower independent creatives to work the way they want freely, flexibly, and fairly.
By removing commissions, building transparent tools, and opening up a network that rewards creativity, we’re shaping a new way to work that’s more open, more connected, and more human.
