DOER VS WorkBase PH

DOER's answer

DOER is a web app built with plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, hosted on Vercel behind Cloudflare. Payments run through Stripe, so members are paid directly and DOER never holds their money. Course content is delivered through Google Drive and YouTube so creators keep ownership of their material. It runs in any modern browser on desktop and mobile with nothing to install.

WorkBase PH's answer:

Node.js, Express and PostgreSQL, with skill-based smart matching between job posts and specialist profiles, in-app messaging and video interviews.

DOER's answer

The people who have already done it, and the people with the drive to do it. DOER is built on one belief: building something should not depend on your title, pedigree, network or starting point. That means solo founders and small business owners, consultants, coaches and mentors, tradespeople going out on their own, people building a side business while holding down a job, and anyone who started without a network, a pedigree or a degree.

If you would rather have a platform that helps you finish the day's work than one that keeps you scrolling, DOER is for you.

WorkBase PH's answer:

Small businesses, startups and solo founders, mostly in the US, Australia, the UK and Canada, who want to hire Filipino remote workers for ongoing roles: virtual assistants, customer support, bookkeepers, social media managers, e-commerce specialists, designers and developers. On the other side, Filipino professionals looking for long-term remote work without paying bidding or platform fees.

DOER's answer

Because on DOER you are the member, not the product.

• Networking: no ads, nobody ranked by followers or popularity, and nobody can pay to be seen first. A profile on DOER is about what you do, not your title or pedigree.
• Selling services: zero commission. Sell to other members and keep 100% of it, Stripe fees only.
• Courses and coaching: publish them inside the same network where your connections already are, on one simple membership, with no cut taken from your income.

One platform for Connect, Learn, Earn and Build instead of four subscriptions and four sets of fees.

WorkBase PH's answer:

You pay once per job post instead of a monthly subscription (OnlineJobs.ph is $69–$99 a month), and there are no fees on what you pay your worker (Upwork and Fiverr charge on every payment). Specialists join and apply free and keep 100% of their pay, which attracts people looking for long-term work. If you'd rather not screen candidates yourself, Done-For-You Hiring does it for a flat fee per hire instead of an agency's percentage of salary. For one-off gigs that need escrow, Upwork or Fiverr may fit better

DOER's answer

DOER is a professional network with no ads, zero commission and no vanity metrics. Nobody is ranked by followers or popularity, and nobody can pay to be seen first. Most professional platforms make money by selling your attention to advertisers or by taking a cut of what you earn. DOER does neither. Members pay a simple membership if they want the paid features, and keep 100% of what they charge for their services, courses and coaching.

It is built around four things you actually do: Connect, Learn, Earn and Build. And it starts every day with the Huddle, one goal, what is in the way and the next action, so the platform is about getting things done rather than scrolling.

WorkBase PH's answer:

WorkBase PH is built only for hiring Filipino remote talent, and it offers three ways to do it. Hire yourself with a $29 one-time job post (no subscription, no commissions). Have our team source, screen and interview candidates for one flat fee per hire (Done-For-You Hiring). Or get your startup's website, SEO and automation built by our in-house team. Employers see full applicant profiles and contact details from day one, and specialists can add a video or audio intro so you can judge communication before you message.

DOER's answer

DOER started in November 2022 from a simple frustration: every professional platform makes its money by selling your attention to advertisers or by taking a cut of what you earn, and the feed ends up being a distraction from actual work rather than a help to it.

DOER was built to be the opposite. No ads. Zero commission. No vanity metrics. A place to connect, learn, earn and build where what you do is the only credential, not your title, your pedigree or your history.

It was built solo by its founder over three years and went live in June 2026. The mission is to open achievement to anyone willing to do the work, no permission required. Entrepreneurship should not depend on your title, pedigree, network or starting point.

WorkBase PH's answer:

WorkBase PH launched in 2026, operated by Curators Marketplace, a DTI- and BIR-registered business in the Philippines. We saw talented Filipino professionals being overlooked and forced to compete on price alone, while employers were buried in irrelevant applications with no quick way to find the right fit. We built WorkBase PH to fix both sides: smart matching, transparent flat pricing, and zero fees for the people doing the work. Later we added Done-For-You Hiring and startup website, SEO and automation services for founders who'd rather hand the work off.
