How we check Fiverr gigs and prices
Short answer
A checked fact on GigBuyerGuide is a fact read directly from Fiverr's public gig or category listing on the date shown in the Checked on stamp. Nothing is ordered or tested. Eight fields are recorded per gig, re-checked on a 14-day cycle, and any gig that goes offline, drops below the rating floor or changes category is pulled from its shortlist at the next check.
Key takeaways
- Checked means read from Fiverr's public listing on the stated date, nothing more and nothing less.
- Eight fields are recorded for every shortlisted gig: price, rating, review count, delivery days, seller level, Pro badge, Fiverr's Choice badge and listing status.
- Facts older than 14 days are flagged for a re-check; gigs that disappear are removed from shortlists.
- Prices are starting prices in USD as listed by the seller. Your final price depends on the package, extras, currency and Fiverr's buyer fee.
What “checked” means here
Every number about a gig on this site comes from one place: the gig’s public listing on fiverr.com, as it appeared on the date in the stamp. When a page says a logo gig starts from $85 with 2,140 reviews and a 4.9 rating, that is what the listing showed on that day. The stamp is the promise. If a figure has no stamp, it is a general observation, not a checked fact.
The site does not place orders. That is a deliberate rule, not a budget limitation. A single order tells you about one delivery from one seller on one day, and a site that charged sellers or ran test orders would have every incentive to soften what it says. Reading the listing carefully, consistently and on a schedule is more useful to a buyer than a one-off anecdote, and it can be repeated at scale.
The eight fields recorded for every gig
| Field | Where it is read from | How it appears on the site |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | The lowest package price shown on the gig page | “from $X” in USD |
| Rating | The buyer rating shown on the gig page | One decimal, e.g. 4.9 |
| Review count | The count next to the rating | Whole number |
| Delivery days | The delivery time of the lowest package | “X days” |
| Seller level | The level badge on the seller card | New seller, Level 1, Level 2, Top Rated or Pro |
| Pro badge | Fiverr Pro marking on the gig | Pro badge in the table |
| Fiverr’s Choice | The Fiverr’s Choice marking on the gig | Fiverr’s Choice badge in the table |
| Status | Whether the gig is live | Offline gigs are removed |
Two more attributes are noted but not shown as columns: whether the seller offers a recurring subscription option and the seller’s country as displayed on the profile.
How often facts are re-checked
Every gig row carries its own checked date. A script flags any active gig whose date is more than 14 days old, and flagged gigs are re-read before the page is republished. Category-level facts such as typical price ranges are reviewed when the shortlist is refreshed. The “Last checked” date near the top of a guide is the most recent stamp on that page.
What gets a gig removed
- The listing is offline, paused or returns an error.
- The rating drops below 4.8 at a check.
- The gig has moved to a different category or changed its core service.
- The seller’s profile shows signs of being inactive for a long period.
Removal is silent. A gig that comes back later can be shortlisted again if it still meets the rules.
What the price stamp does not promise
Fiverr prices depend on the package you choose, any extras, the currency you browse in and the buyer fee added at checkout. Sellers also change prices without notice. The starting price on this site is the floor on the day it was read, in USD. Always confirm the price on the gig page before ordering, and use the fee calculator to estimate the total.
Currency and location
All prices are recorded in USD with the browsing location set to the United States. Fiverr shows local currency in some regions, and a small number of sellers price differently by buyer location. If you see a different number on the gig page, the currency or region is the usual reason.
Reporting an error
If a checked fact looks wrong, email hello@gigbuyerguide.com with the page URL and the gig. Corrections are made at the next check and the stamp is updated. See the editorial policy for how corrections are handled.
