Fiverr takes 20% of every gig but the seller fee on Upwork is only 10%, and I found that out from a dude at a Tampa meetup | Fiverr vs Upwork Debates - Freelance Forum - The Community for Independent Professionals

I was at a freelancer meetup in Tampa last month and this guy pulled up the fee pages on his phone to prove it to me. I had been running gigs on Fiverr for 14 months taking home 80 cents on the dollar while he kept 90 on Upwork, and I felt dumb for not checking sooner. So which one is actually ripping us off more once you add in connects and promoted gigs, or am I missing something on the math here?
