Gangster vs Gigstar — Two Roles, One Account

Gangster — The Client
A Gangster is someone who needs work done. As a Gangster you post gigs, receive bids from Gigstars, accept the best bid, and manage the work through completion. Think of it as the demand side of the marketplace.

- Communicate directly with bidders

- Leave reviews after completion
Gigstar — The Professional
A Gigstar is a skilled professional who provides services. As a Gigstar you browse available gigs, place bids with proposals, and deliver quality work. Think of it as the supply side.
- Browse gigs matched to your skills and location
- Place competitive bids with detailed proposals
- Manage ongoing assignments and milestones
- Build your portfolio and earn reviews
- Set your availability and service rates
Switching Roles
Every Gigstaan account can operate as both a Gangster and a Gigstar. The URL and interface update based on your active role, but all your data and conversations are shared. Switch anytime from the navigation.
