The marketplace
Where to search services rather than people, what each sort actually orders by, and why a listing with no rating is not being hidden from you.
If you know what you need but not who you want, start at the marketplace.
Marketplace or Mentors - they answer different questions#
| Marketplace | Mentors | |
|---|---|---|
| Lists | Services | People |
| Answers | "I need a Java mock interview" | "Who is this person, and what do they offer?" |
Same inventory, different unit. If you are comparing prices and formats, the marketplace is the right page. If somebody recommended a name, go to finding a mentor instead.
Neither is where fixed-scope work lives - that is services and offers, which is delivered by the Revquix team rather than by a mentor you choose.
Narrowing it down#
You can filter by service type, skills, price, session duration, rating, availability and a specific mentor. Every filter is written into the address bar, so a filtered marketplace is a link you can send someone and they will see exactly what you saw.
What each sort actually does#
Seven options, and three of them behave in ways worth knowing.
| Sort | Orders by |
|---|---|
| Relevance (default) | How well the listing matches your words, then rating. |
| Price: low to high / high to low | Price. |
| Highest rated | Rating, then how many ratings are behind it. |
| Most booked | Number of orders, then completed ones. |
| Newest | When the service was published. |
| Soonest available | The next free slot. |
With no search term#
Relevance has nothing to rank against, so browsing an unfiltered marketplace falls back to quality and recency. That is why the front page looks stable between visits and reorders once you type.
"Showing close matches"#
If an exact search finds too little, the marketplace retries with a looser, spelling-tolerant search and tells you it has done so. It is a hint that the results are approximate - usually a typo or a very specific phrase. Shorter and more general is the fix.
If nothing matches at all, you get suggested rails rather than an empty page. Those are suggestions, not results for your query.
The prices on the cards#
Card prices are the mentor's listed price with a common comparison basis, so the list is consistent to scan. The price in your own currency appears when you open the service.
Why the difference is covered in how you pay.
