PRESS RELEASE: Zero-Commission Platform GigMate Hits 2,000 Service Providers in Record Time, Disrupting Australia’s Gig Economy

Sydney-based startup reaches major milestone as providers flee commission-charging platforms

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – February 12, 2026 – GigMate, the revolutionary zero-commission services marketplace from Giggy (gogiggy.com), today announced it has surpassed 2,000 registered service providers across Sydney and Melbourne in just seven weeks since launch – a growth trajectory that signals a fundamental shift in how Australians are embracing faireconomy platforms.

The platform’s explosive growth tells a compelling story: GigMate reached its first 100 providers within one week of launch. The next 900 providers joined over the following five weeks, and in the past week alone, the platform added another 1,000 providers –demonstrating exponential adoption as word spreads about the commission-free model.

“This accelerating growth shows that service providers are done with paying hefty commissions to gig platforms,” said Kiran Kumar, Director at Giggy. “Hard-working Australians are voting with their feet and choosing a platform that lets them maximize their earnings. Every dollar they save on commissions can be reinvested in upgrading their equipment, skills, and growing their businesses.”

A New Model for the Gig Economy

Unlike traditional platforms that charge service providers commissions of 15-30% per job, GigMate operates on a zero-commission model. This means providers offering services across pet care, lawn mowing, removals, cleaning, handyman work, and dozens of other categories maximize their earnings with only standard payment processing fees applying.

The platform now boasts hundreds of registered providers across Sydney and Melbourne offering services including:
1. Pet care and dog walking
2. Lawn mowing and gardening
3. Moving and removal services
4. Home cleaning
5. Handyman services and many more

Supporting Sustainable Service Businesses

“This is just the beginning,” continued Kiran Kumar. “GigMate exists to support sustainable businesses without extracting commissions from hard-working service providers. The money they save isn’t just extra income – it’s capital they can invest in themselves, their tools, their training, and their future.”

The rapid provider adoption suggests a pent-up demand for fairer platform economics in Australia’s growing gig economy. As cost-of-living pressures mount, service providers are increasingly seeking alternatives that allow them to maximize their earning potential.
