Fiverr: The evidence: origins and growth
Fiverr’s 2026 annual filing describes services packaged with a defined scope, price and delivery period. It reports 3.1 million annual active buyers at December 31, 2025 and an intentional shift toward customers with higher spending capacity. It acknowledges weaker SMB hiring sentiment and declining demand for simple services. Repeat purchases can involve entirely different service categories. [1]
