Any insights on what's better than Gigster? Asking for meself.

TopTal.
No way, the rates on TopTal are terrible. I was using them for a while but won't go back unless I really need some work.

I think you can get paid much, much more on platforms such as Gigster and 10X Management.

How is it better? TopTal pays 3-5 times less and differentiates rates by country where contractor resides.
So you're saying that Gigster pays their subs ~$180/h? That's over $330,000 per year. So how much do they charge clients then? ~$300/h?

I doubt it. Their prices are probably similar to TopTals.

Gigster offers fixed price projects, based on $100-150/hr rate.

If you manage to get things done faster, which can happen pretty often, you end up with rate even better.

And yes, it's possible to make that amount of $ on gigster
