With social media connecting people like never before, sharing commodities between them does seem like an obvious next step.The Peer-to-Peer Rental Marketplaces allows people to share things with each other without having to buy them. But more importantly, these marketplaces have given people a way to make money off their underused personal belongings.
With over 43% of the workforce in the US will be freelancers or self-employed by 2020. A service marketplace is an online platform which initiates, facilitates, coordinates and completes buying and selling of services between service seekers and service providers. The different business models like Transaction based model, Lead based model, Subscription based model in the service marketplaces are based on pricing or payment.
A great option if you want to build the marketplace from ground up with all the bells and whistles. You should consider this if your marketplace is one of the kind and you want to own all the intellectual property, including the code that is powering the marketplace. This option would typically require significant capital and time investment upfront.
Building a platform with a marketplace SaaS (sometimes also called marketplace-as-a-service, or MaaS) where the hosting is included is the fastest way to launch an online marketplace platform. The SaaS solutions are usually battle-tested and ready to scale. The SaaS solution provider will continuously test, improve and update their product.

I moved over from IdyaFlow’s competitor. I was already set up for about a year or so, but realized it didn’t have the features I needed to move forward. The best feature on Idyaflow – the ability to work as a rental/ seller marketplace. No other solution supports both the models unless custom implemented and IdyaFlow supports it out-of-the-box!
