Fiverr Shifts Focus to High-End Work as AI Transforms the Gig Economy: 2025 Results and 2026 Outlook
Fiverr reported a 10% revenue increase to $430.9 million in 2025 and achieved a record adjusted EBITDA margin of 21.3%, underscoring strong profitability. The company deliberately shed 14% of its active buyers while average spend per buyer rose 13.3% to $342, signaling a shift toward higher‑value projects. To support this up‑market move, Fiverr is rebuilding its platform to be AI‑native, a transition that it expects to depress 2026 revenue before delivering growth in 2027. A leadership shuffle places the former CFO as President and installs a new CFO to steer the transformation.
