Design Pickle vs. Freelancer.com

Design Pickle is well suited for a small company that does not have an in house creative design team or employees that have design experience. It is an affordable solution to have a designer in your pocket for creative content as needed. It is also great for companies that may have a design team but they are overwhelmed with work and need support due to lack of resources.

Freelancer is the best when it comes to running a small agency and getting as many jobs as you can, and gathering international experience and reviews. It is also quite good for earning small, extra money on the side when you have additional free time for doing smaller time-scoped projects.

• Freelancer.com gives you a way to hire freelancers within minutes.

Incentivized

• Accuracy to deliveries
• Could be more creative

• Complex interface: tracking your freelancer's work status is harder than it should be. Tracking sometimes does not work as it should.
• Mobile app is laggy and sometimes glitchy so personally I prefer to use the web-based platform (inconvenient for someone who is traveling on business trips a lot).
• It is hard to find quality talent for simple tasks (translation). It is easy to find talent for technical tasks though (iOS app developers for example).

Design Pickle gave us a dedicated designer who took your requests and was able to really learn and understand our brand the way a Fiverr contractor was not always able to do. Design Pickle was more bang for our buck if we had a lot of projects to use them on, otherwise the monthly stipend amount was wasted. Canva gives a ton of flexibility to make the design exactly how I want it, but is a do it yourself program

Of the freelance hubs I am listed on, more than a few, I haven't been as successful on Freelancer.com. Freelancer.com, I think, could use some more development and better customer service. It does separate itself with its competency tests, but I'm not sure this is enough. Still, I check out the project lists from time to time and keep my profile up to date, just in case
