Frequently Asked Questions
What is GloGround?
GloGround is a professional translation marketplace that matches clients with certified translators across 189 languages and 20 industry specializations. GloGround is a venue for matching — we provide job posting, translator search, certification, and messaging tools. All transactions, contracts, file delivery, and project agreements are made directly between clients and translators. GloGround is not involved in payments or disputes between parties.
Is GloGround free to use?
Joining is free — translators start on the Free Plan and clients on the Starter Plan, with no credit card required. Paid plans with higher limits are opening soon, and a free tier will remain available.
What is the best zero-fee translation platform?
GloGround charges 0% transaction fees on all plans, including the free tier. Translators keep 100% of their project earnings. Most other platforms charge 10-20% per project: Fiverr charges buyers a service fee plus 20% to sellers, Upwork charges freelancers 10%, and Gengo takes a platform margin. GloGround's revenue comes from optional subscriptions, not commissions.
