Not just your time, but that does have value. So does all the time that goes into learning and practicing and developing skills to be able to produce professional quality work. That's what I think can be challenging in pricing creative work.
I started looking at the Crew site and it isn't a US based site (.co I've seen before and is apparently out of Colombia, then this site says Montreal...) - so it may not all be relevant for the market here.
The more I looked at their site the more I saw red flags. Things like no address, no phone number; only email, Skype, and a platform I never heard of. Things like the payment info. involving wire transfers, buyout fees of 20% or $5000 (which seems worse for project owners than members), and 'Protection' which means site users/members agree to Crew withholding money in varying amounts in a range up to 100% at their sole discretion. (I quit skimming/reading after the part about members don't get the interest on money Crew holds in 'commingled accounts' - and that's not even halfway thru the Terms.)
It probably would be better to find other resources on pricing.
