Question 9

How is Furrsati different from Upwork?

Accepted Answer

While Upwork is a global platform, Furrsati is purpose-built for Lebanon. Key differences: Furrsati supports local payouts via OMT, Whish Money, and Lebanese banks; offers full Arabic language support; charges a standard 10% fee (vs. Upwork's 5-20%); and provides payment protection designed around Lebanon's financial realities. Lebanese freelancers on Upwork often struggle to withdraw earnings due to banking restrictions — Furrsati solves this.

Question 10

Is Furrsati better than Fiverr for Lebanese freelancers?

Accepted Answer

For Lebanese freelancers, yes. Fiverr charges a 20% commission and offers no local payout options in Lebanon. Furrsati's standard fee is 10% and it supports withdrawal via OMT, Whish Money, bank transfer, and cryptocurrency. Furrsati also offers milestone-based contracts (rather than gig-based), Arabic support, and payment protection — making it far better suited for Lebanese freelancers.

Question 11

Is Furrsati safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Furrsati uses secure payments: client funds are held securely until work is delivered and approved. All freelancers undergo KYC identity verification. Disputes are resolved by Furrsati's admin team within 48 hours. Payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI-compliant payment processor trusted by millions of businesses worldwide.

Question 12

How does Furrsati verify freelancers?

Accepted Answer

Furrsati requires KYC (Know Your Customer) verification for all freelancers before they can receive payments. Freelancers submit a government-issued ID and a selfie for identity matching. The verification process is reviewed by Furrsati's team and typically completed within 24-48 hours.

Question 13

What happens if a client doesn't pay on Furrsati?

Accepted Answer

On Furrsati, clients fund milestones upfront before work begins. The funds are held securely and can only be released to the freelancer upon completion or refunded to the client through the dispute process. Freelancers never start work without payment already secured, eliminating the risk of non-payment.

Question 14

What is Furrsati's platform fee?

Accepted Answer

Furrsati's standard platform fee is 10%, deducted from the freelancer's earnings when payment is released. Clients pay no platform or service fee; when a client funds a milestone by card there is a standard 5% processing fee, shown before they pay, and milestones funded from wallet balance carry no processing fee. Both rates are standard rather than universal — an account can be on an agreed rate of its own.

Question 15

How much do freelancers charge on Furrsati?

Accepted Answer

Freelancer rates on Furrsati vary by service. Web developers typically charge $15-50/hour, graphic designers $10-35/hour, digital marketers $12-40/hour, content writers $8-25/hour, and translators $10-30/hour. All rates are in USD.
