    I've had a terrible experience with Agriya. Although I did not buy their Fiverr clone I have spent €2950 with Agriya for my daily deals site to include design work and full integration to my server so that I would have a full functioning, working site which was ready to launch. I received other quotes from daily deal clone providers ranging from $400 to $1000 but I was prepared to pay above the norm based on the promises and claims made by Agriya that I would receive a much higher standard site.

    Having received my deals site it was immediately evident that quite a number of errors existed. I communicated these errors to Agriya and was dismayed to find that the technical support and backup promised from Agriya just did not exist. Very few of these errors were amended and the process of trying to communicate with Agriya was incredibly frustrating. In fact there seem to have been no internal communication within Agriya either.

    As I was making no progress
    with Agriya in terms of getting errors on the site fixed I decided to find a local company to do the fixes for me. After having several companies locally have a look at the site I was shocked to find out that the majority of them did not want to go near the site. The general feedback was that the script for the site was so confusing and outdated that they couldn't possibly make sense of it. For instance, I was advised that the way Agriya had written the script meant a simple command might involve several lines of coding whereas with more up to date/ modern coding it would only take one line.

    After much exploration of my options the outcome has been that I have had to have the site built again from scratch by a local company. The cost of this stands to equal the amount I have already spent with Agriya. Not only have I wasted quite a large sum of money, I have wasted several months trying to resolve these issues since Agirya handed over my supposedly 'completed' site, not to mention the associated stress and frustration.

    I have asked for some compensation from Agriya given that the site delivered to me was not as promised - it was not to a working standard, and no effort was made by Agriya to ensure that the errors were corrected. Unsurprisingly my complaints and request have been met with indifference from Agriya.

    This line of defense of accusing anybody who is posting about their own, real experiences to be working for a competitor is seriously tacky and deflective. My account is very real. I am from Ireland and I'm trying desperately to get my business up and running. I have no other motivation apart from posting a true account of my terrible experience with Agriya and to warn others to tread with caution.

    if you want a good fiverr clone start with this http://sitemile.com/p/pricerr
    it is based on wordpress, and has very much potential. We, the people at SiteMile treat you very well, and we are a medium company which can modify the pricerr theme to suit your needs. The prices are 30$/hour, and for an above the norm, professional and non-crappy website you will pay 199.99$ the price of the theme plus 750$-1500$ in modifications if you want something special and very professional.

    Take my suggestion and dont go for ready made scripts. Hire your own developers from marketplaces and give them details to custom code for you. I can suggest you some reliable developers if you are still looking for them.

    the best way to get with this, go with a ready made script and hire a developer to customize it how you want. It will be better for you since the base skeleton of your site will be ready from second 1. See some info here: http://sitemile.com
