With Stoke Talent, your
contractor relationships are not exclusive
Stoke Talent is owned by Fiverr. Their business is offering talent to global clients all over the world. This means:
Your best freelancers and contractors are offered to other companies
Stoke Talent puts a wall between you and your contractors, removing transparency
With Worksuite, your contractors
are never exposed to other clients
Good contractors are hard to find and harder to keep. Worksuite helps your freelance workforce stay private and available to work on your projects.
Complete control over your contractor roster
In a public marketplace, other clients can access your talent pool. With Worksuite, you manage a private roster of freelancers.
Transparent payment processing
Stoke Talent acts as a payment intermediary. With Worksuite, you pay each contractor directly, keeping things transparent.
Significantly lower payment fees
Stoke Talent charges 3%, 5%, and up to 10% fee. Worksuite has a fixed payment fee of $5 per invoice + 1% of your spend.
Build long-term relationships with
your contractors using Worksuite
Run a large-scale operation without overwhelm
Businesses that use Worksuite manage up to 2,000 contractors (or more) over a year without issues. Having your best freelance talent details in one central place reduces errors and saves time.
"If you’re looking to take your business to the next level and automate, Worksuite is the platform for you to use. If you manage a lot of contractors – this is the future."
Cyon Williams

Manage the people and the projects they’re working on, too
Worksuite integrates with your project management tools to support your entire lifecycle — something Stoke can't do.
“Not only did Worksuite fill the majority of our needs out of the gate, they had the flexibility to say, Hey, we don’t have that, but we can build it and customize it to your needs.”
Scott King,
National Install Manager, Ferguson
Save up to 10 hours a week asking for availability
Track and get availability updates instantly. Contractors let you know in seconds via SMS if they’re available to start a new project.
“That cut off probably eight hours of sourcing and calling and reaching out to people – huge time savings and money savings.”
Allen Larson
VP of Talent Acquisition and Resource Director, Jack Morton Worldwide
Bill accurately and save time paying contractors
Time is money for you and your freelancers. Have Worksuite convert timesheets into invoices at the click of a button and pay your contractors in seconds.
"Getting bogged down in payment processing hindered our ability to give our broad community of coaches the individualized support and personalized assistance they need to succeed. Not having that 3-day payroll process hanging over our heads at the end of every month is very helpful."
Malaika Drebin
Senior Coach Community Manager, BetterUp

“I would tell anyone working in a gig economy-based environment with a large pool of freelancers, that Worksuite gives you greater ease of communication with teams, and greater visibility into the skillset of your talent.”
Kevin J. Gray
President and Chief Content Officer, Westchester Education Services
"In the beginning, I contacted everyone through emails. So after a while, I was at like 60 or 70 people who I was managing through emails. But now everything goes through Worksuite, I don’t have to deal with emails at all. The time saved from going through 300 emails to checking a neat little list? That’s been amazing"

Frequently Asked Questions
Not really. Worksuite is a private freelancer management software that won’t make your independent contractors publicly available to be poached by other companies.
On the other hand, Stoke Talent is owned by Fiverr. Stoke Talent makes money when you source qualified talent from their public pool of freelancers and contractors. This is why they push clients to source on demand talent from their platform, which is shared with any other company that subscribes to them.
While Worksuite doesn’t offer a public marketplace to source freelancers from, you can invite as many contract workers as you want to join your Worksuite platform. Worksuite lets you source freelancers from anywhere you want. Once they accept, you can manage their onboarding, timesheets, payments, and reporting — all from one place.
Worksuite’s payment solution is optional. If you subscribe to our Global Payments Processing solution, you can pay external workers in just a few clicks. Whether you're paying one or thousands of independent contractors, you can do so in seconds, wherever they are in the world. Worksuite lets you raise timesheets, manage invoices, get approvals, and track budgets, all from one centralized place.
Worksuite is an external workforce management tool that helps effectively manage every aspect of your freelancer collaboration from one place. Once you invite your creative talent on the platform, you can establish statements of work, task management, track work progress, and sign off on timesheets automatically as needed, making Worksuite an ideal solution to manage your entire creative community of remote workers at scale.
While Worksuite is a robust freelance job monitoring software to manage your growing contractor network, it might not be for everyone. If you're managing around 10 to 25 contractors, you could get away with using manual spreadsheets or basic task management tools. If you want to ensure your contract workers are paid on time, without getting overwhelmed, Worksuite is probably one of best Stoke Talent alternatives.
Worksuite is better suited for companies managing hundreds and thousands of freelancers at once. One of the key benefits of Worksuite is that it can be customized to fit your processes, no matter how complex they are. Worksuite is built to simplify global employment and talent sourcing, while being incredibly user-friendly, even for the less tech-savvy people in your teams.
Worksuite helps teams be more agile, productive, and innovative, regardless of their industry. Companies that regularly use Worksuite include those in marketing, digital publishing, creative industry, consulting, editorial management, education, travel, software development, and more.
