About this app

Your marketplace. Your community.

CosHive is by the cosplay community, for the cosplay community.

We built CosHive because we're part of the scene ourselves. Because a costume that's been months in the making is worth more than just clicking "order new." And because the best parts, tips, and people still come from within the scene itself—from cosplayers, crafters, and photographers.

Here, you give instead of throwing away. You'll find someone to help you with a commission or photograph your shoot. And you'll meet people who share the same passion.

SWAP INSTEAD OF FAST FASHION
• Pass on costumes, wigs, armor, props, and fabrics instead of throwing them away

• Second-hand items from the scene—often handmade and unique
• Post wanted ads if you're missing a piece

• Swapping is a separate price category: not every item needs to be paid for

COMMISSIONS AND SHOOTS

• Find someone who sews, crafts, builds props, or does makeup

• Find photographers for your shoot—also on a TFP basis

• Filter by fandom, category, size, condition, brand, and price

• Chat directly with the person doing it—real-time chat with pictures

IF YOU OFFER YOURSELF
• Whether you sew, craft, build props, or take photos—here your work reaches people who appreciate it

• Listings aren't just for items, but also for commissions and services

• Your reputation grows with every job: ratings are visible on your profile

PEOPLE GET TO KNOW US
• Member directory with search and sorting options
• Set up your profile: custom headline, bio, awards
• Follow profiles to easily find them again
• See reviews before you write—from buyers and clients
• Most active members of the scene featured on the homepage

INVITE-ONLY
Every member has been invited by someone who vouches for them. That's why you know who you're dealing with here. Ask someone in your cosplay circle for an invite code.

Free. No fees, no commission. We don't earn anything from your sales.

We're a small team from the German-speaking cosplay scene (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and have been involved ourselves for years. CosHive is our passion project.
