Hiring for data entry and lead lists on Fiverr in 2026: prices, what to look for and what to send

Data entry on Fiverr is a service where freelancers type, copy, clean or research information into spreadsheets, databases or CRMs, including building B2B lead lists. On September 29, 2026 the median starting price across 34 well-reviewed gigs was $20, and the middle half all started at $20. Compare volume per package, order a small test batch and ask lead sellers where their data comes from.
Key takeaways
- Across 34 well-reviewed data entry gigs checked on September 29, 2026, the median starting price was $20, and the middle half of starting prices was exactly $20.
- Because prices cluster at $20, sellers compete on volume per package: compare rows, records or hours per dollar, not the headline price.
- The median starting package delivered in 1 day, joint-fastest with virtual assistants and image editing among the categories we track.
- Only 6% of the sampled gigs came from Top Rated sellers, so order a 50-row test batch before a big job.
- For lead lists, ask where the data comes from and how emails are verified before you pay for thousands of records.

Data entry is the most price-uniform category we have checked on Fiverr. Almost every well-reviewed gig starts at the same $20, so price tells you nothing about who to hire. What separates a good order from a wasted one is volume, accuracy and, for lead lists, where the data came from.
How much does data entry cost on Fiverr?
Across the 34 well-reviewed gigs (4.7 stars or better, 20+ reviews) on the first page of Fiverr’s data entry category on September 29, 2026, the median starting price was $20, and both the 25th and 75th percentile were also $20. The range ran from $5 to $110. These are starting prices of each gig’s cheapest package, not the cost of a full project.
| Checked on Sept 29, 2026 | Data entry and lead lists |
|---|---|
| Median start | $20 |
| Middle 50% | $20 to $20 |
| Fastest typical delivery (starting package) | 1 day |
| Fiverr Pro gigs in sample | 2 of 34 |
With prices this flat, look at what $20 buys on each gig: a number of rows, records, leads or hours. Two gigs at $20 can differ by ten times in volume. The category’s typical range of $10 to $200 covers most orders, and big jobs move to custom offers.
| Tier | Typical price | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | $10 to $30 | Typing or copy-paste of a set number of rows, PDF to Excel, simple cleanup, 1-2 hours |
| Standard | $30 to $100 | Web research into a spreadsheet, deduplication and formatting, CRM import file, several hundred rows |
| Premium | $100 to $200 | Researched B2B lead lists with named contacts, email verification, custom columns, larger volumes |
On a $20 order, Fiverr’s service fee of 5.5% plus the $3.50 small-order fee brings checkout to $24.60, so bundling tasks into one order saves money. The fees guide has more examples. Once you know the rows and columns you need, compare data entry gigs on Fiverr Paid link by volume.
Data entry or lead lists: what are you actually buying?
Data entry means moving information you already have into a better format: scanned invoices into Excel, business cards into a CRM, product data into a store import sheet. Accuracy is the whole job.
Lead lists mean the seller finds information for you: companies matching your criteria, contact names, job titles, emails and phone numbers. Here the questions are source and freshness. A list researched by hand from company websites and professional profiles, then run through an email verifier, is a different product from a bulk export. Also check the rules on contacting people where you and they are based before you email anyone on a bought list.
Marketplace or Fiverr Pro for data entry?
The marketplace fits nearly all data entry work; only 2 of the 34 gigs in our sample were Pro. Just 6% were Top Rated, the joint-lowest share we recorded, so rely on a test batch rather than badges.
Fiverr Pro makes sense only when the data is sensitive, such as customer records, or the job is large enough to need a managed team with a project lead.
How do you read a data entry gig before ordering?
Check these before ordering.
- Volume per package. Rows, records, pages or hours. Convert to cost per 100 rows.
- Source and method. For lead lists: which sources, how contacts are found and whether emails are verified with a tool.
- Accuracy promise. Ask what error rate they aim for and whether they fix errors free.
- Output format. Excel, Google Sheets, CSV for a CRM import. Ask for your exact columns.
- Tools. Excel formulas, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable, OCR software.
- Delivery for big jobs. Ask for partial deliveries so you can check the first batch before the rest.
What should you put in a data entry brief?
Attach a template spreadsheet with your column headings and three example rows filled in. Then add:
- What the source is (attached files, website URLs, a folder of scans)
- The exact columns and formats (date format, phone format, country codes)
- Volume and deadline
- Rules for missing data: leave blank, mark “N/A” or skip the row
- Duplicates: how to detect and handle them
- For lead lists: industry, company size, location, job titles and whether you need verified emails
- Accuracy check you will run: “I will spot-check 20 random rows per 500”
- A 50-row test batch before the full order
Remove personal data the freelancer does not need. Fiverr advises against sharing sensitive personal details in messages, and customer records should be shared only as far as the task requires.
What are the red flags on data entry gigs?
- 10,000 “verified” leads for $20. At that price, the list is recycled.
- No answer to “where does this data come from?”
- A seller who wants your CRM admin login rather than a limited user.
- No partial delivery on a big job.
- Moving to WhatsApp or direct payment before ordering. Fiverr only permits third-party tools after an order is placed, and off-platform work is unprotected.
If a delivery is inaccurate, reject it and request a revision with example rows, before the order auto-completes three days after delivery. The first order checklist covers that timing.
