Mahara is an Arab freelance platform connecting Arab developers, designers and marketers with clients around the world, using AI to match each project to the right experts in seconds.
Mahara takes 7% of the project value, deducted from the freelancer's share, so the larger share stays with the person who did the work.
The client pays the full project value up front and it is held in the platform's escrow account. After delivery and client acceptance, the amount is transferred to the service provider (less the platform commission). Nothing is released before the client accepts.
Yes. Creating an account, browsing, and publishing services are completely free for freelancers and clients alike. Commission is only charged when a real project is completed.
We accept direct bank transfers, Sham Cash, and regional payment channels. The aim is payment options that work for the Arab market and for international clients at the same time.
The client describes their project in ordinary language. The AI analyses the requirements and ranks the experts available on the platform by speciality, rating and experience, then suggests the best 5 matches for the project in under 30 seconds.
