Braintrust

Zero Platform Fees

Unlike Upwork or Fiverr, Braintrust charges no commission on freelancer earnings.

• Freelancers keep 100% of their income.
• Payments are direct and transparent.
• This model ensures fair compensation and eliminates hidden costs.

For example, a $5,000 project on Braintrust means you receive the full $5,000, whereas on Fiverr you'd lose 20% ($1,000).

Access to Enterprise Clients

Braintrust connects freelancers with Fortune 500 companies, startups, and AI labs.

• Projects are typically higher-value and longer-term.
• Focus on specialized skills: software engineering, design, product management, marketing.
• Freelancers gain credibility by working with recognized global brands.

Community Ownership

Braintrust is governed by the $BTRST token, giving freelancers voting rights in platform decisions.

• Freelancers influence policies, features, and community standards.
• Ownership creates a sense of belonging and long-term stability.
• Unlike centralized platforms, Braintrust is user-owned and community-driven.

Skill Validation & AI Matching

Braintrust uses AI-driven interviews and skill assessments to validate talent.

• Ensures only vetted professionals join the network.
• AI matches freelancers to projects they are most likely to win.
• Saves time compared to bidding wars on traditional marketplaces.
