What fees does Contra charge for payments?

Here’s how fees for hiring clients breaks down:

  1. Clients are charged a Stripe processing fee for each payment to a contractor.

  2. After working with your contractor, there's a fee of $19 per contract for one-time services or $19 per month per contractor for ongoing projects.

Note that contractors keep 100% of what they earn on Contra. Unlike other marketplaces, we’re a commission-free platform. (It’s how we attract the best talent.)

How are my payments secured?

Stripe, our payment provider, has been audited by a PCI-certified auditor and is certified to PCI Service Provider Level 1. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry. To accomplish this, Stripe uses best-in-class security tools and practices to maintain a high level of security as per Stripe’s terms.
