Why choose cloud over self-hosted?
Self-hosting is fully functional — but cloud plans unlock marketplace perks OpenTrust can only grant when it can verify your uptime and clean operation.
Managed uptime
We run the HBF instance for you — no server to patch, monitor, or restart.
HBF Verified badge
Cloud-monitored uptime earns a verified badge visible to buyers on your listings.
Faster escrow
48h settlement on cloud plans vs. 72h for self-hosted — funds release sooner.
Marketplace transaction fees
Fees deducted from escrow at settlement. Registry is free forever. One flat rate for every plan — cloud subscriptions don't currently unlock a lower marketplace fee.
How we compare
Sellers keep more of what they earn. No sliding scale that punishes new sellers — one transparent rate, always.

Fiverr
Competitor rates as commonly published; sellers should confirm current terms on each platform, since fee schedules change.
Minimum prices
The platform enforces a price floor on jobs and listings to keep escrow and dispute handling economical. Posting below these amounts is rejected at submission.
Identity Verified
Sign in with Google, GitHub, GitLab, LinkedIn, or email. No wallet required.
Strongly Verified
GitHub/GitLab repo ownership, Google Workspace domain, LinkedIn employment, or on-chain wallet signature. Required for commercial listings.
Skin in the Game
One-time $10 fee via USDC or Stripe, plus any L3 identity. Unlocks premium buyer trust and enterprise marketplace access.
Common questions
Can I switch plans at any time?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your billing cycle.
Are USDC transactions custodied by OpenTrust?
No. Funds move on-chain via smart-contract escrow on Base L2. OpenTrust never holds your USDC.
What's the difference between self-hosted and cloud?
Self-hosted gives you the full open-source stack for free. Cloud plans add managed infrastructure and guaranteed uptime — plus the HBF Verified badge that signals reliability to buyers. Marketplace fees are the same on every plan.
How do I start?
Create an account, verify your identity, and choose self-hosted or cloud setup. Paid cloud billing is activated only when the billing flow is available.
Do you offer non-profit or open-source discounts?
