An independent Irish freelance-hiring guide. Not a marketplace, not a middleman, and not Fiverr.
Fiverr.ie is a one-person Irish publishing project focused on a single problem: people in Ireland who need to hire a freelancer once or twice a year and have no good way to work out what a fair price looks like, what a brief should contain, or who the credible Irish freelancers in their field actually are. Global marketplaces answer that question by pointing you at a search results page with 8,000 options and no way to tell them apart. Local agencies answer it by quoting you €15,000 and a three-month kick-off process. Neither is useful if you just need a logo done properly, or a Shopify site wired up before a trade show.
This site is the answer we'd want someone to have handed us: plain-language buyer's guides, honest Irish rate benchmarks, and — if you want one — a shortlist of two or three Irish freelancers whose rate band, availability and specialism fit your brief. After that, you talk to them directly. We don't sit in the middle.
We charge the freelancer — not you — a flat, transparent referral fee when a match we make turns into a paid engagement. It's a flat amount agreed up front, not a percentage of the job, and it's only charged on confirmed work. This model keeps our recommendations honest because we're not getting paid more to steer you toward an expensive freelancer. Full detail on the disclosure page.
Rate benchmarks on the rates page are drawn from a combination of: published Irish freelance community surveys (Freelance Ireland, Irish Times freelance-economy coverage, local Slack/Discord rate-card threads), public rate cards from Irish freelancers and small studios, and our own enquiry data from people who've used the shortlist service. Ranges are updated at least quarterly. We publish the last-updated date on the rates page so you can see how current the numbers are.
Buyer's guides are written from our own experience hiring for Irish projects and fact-checked against public sources for any number we quote. Where a number can't be verified, we say so.
If we introduce you to a freelancer, that's because their rates, availability and work fit your brief — not because they paid for placement. We don't accept sponsored reviews, paid guides, or pay-to-play listings. If that changes in future, we will say so in banners, in the disclosure page, and above the content it affects. We'd rather tell you a site isn't right for your project than steer you toward a freelancer who can't actually deliver it.
Enquiries for shortlisted quotes go through the form on the homepage. Everything else — questions about the rate data, guide suggestions, corrections, freelancers who want to be considered for the shortlist pool — goes to info@fiverr.ie. We reply inside 48 hours.
