How Does Elance Make Money?
Elance makes money when the work is delivered and payments are made through Elance. When clients (employers) make a payment to their service providers, Elance deducts between 6.75% and 8.75% from the payment to cover its Service Fee and Payment Processing costs, and transfers the remaining amount directly to the service provider.
Additionally, Elance service providers choose between free and paid monthly membership plans based on their level of activity. People who hire elancers pay no fees beyond the money that is paid to the provider for the work that is done.
