SkillLedger is a platform for professionals to exchange skills and services without cash. Earn credits by providing your expertise, then spend credits to access the services you need, from web development and design to legal review and marketing strategy.
We built SkillLedger because too many talented professionals are held back by cash flow, not capability. A developer who needs a brand identity should not wait until they can afford an agency. A designer who needs legal review should not skip it because attorneys are expensive. Skill exchange unlocks professional growth that cash constraints block.
Create a profile listing your professional skills and set your credit rate based on your market value. Browse the marketplace to see what others offer.
Find professionals who need your skills and offer what you need in return. Propose exchanges with clear scope, timelines, and credit terms. Escrow protects both sides.
Complete exchanges, leave reviews, and build a verified track record. Your reputation score unlocks better opportunities and signals reliability to future partners.
Every exchange is protected by escrow, verified reviews, and reputation scores. Both parties commit before work begins, and credits release only when both confirm satisfaction.
Credits map to fair market value, so professionals at every rate level receive equitable exchanges. No one subsidizes the other. The math balances transparently.
SkillLedger connects professionals across 19 skill categories. The network effect means more members create more exchange opportunities for everyone.
Credit rates, reputation scores, and exchange terms are visible to both parties. No hidden fees, no opaque algorithms, no surprises after you commit.
SkillLedger is built for freelancers, consultants, and small businesses who want to exchange professional services without cash. Whether you are a developer who needs design work or a marketer who needs legal review, skill exchange lets you access expertise by offering your own.
Yes. The IRS treats barter exchanges as taxable income at fair market value under Revenue Ruling 79-24. SkillLedger automatically tracks FMV for every exchange and generates 1099-B-ready documentation to simplify year-end tax reporting.
Every exchange on SkillLedger is protected by built-in escrow. Credits are held until both parties confirm the work is complete and satisfactory. If a dispute arises, our structured resolution process with neutral mediators ensures a fair outcome.
Fiverr and Upwork are cash marketplaces that charge 10-27% in fees. SkillLedger is a credit-based exchange platform. You trade skills directly with no commissions, keep the full value of your work, and access services without cash outlay.
