    Freelancer Technology Pty Limited
    Chose Freelancer.com
    Freelancer is perfect for inexperienced young computer science students that are looking for smaller projects to gain the required experience and enable them for the job market. Unlike others, for Freelancers, you don't need to prove your skills, you have to prove them to a …

    Chose Freelancer.com
    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. …

    Chose Freelancer.com
    I choose Freelancer.com for technical projects, such as designing a more responsive website for the business or a mobile app for the business. Also, I come to Freelancer.com when I urgently need a design layout of for marketing materials, especially when our only designer is on …

    Chose Upwork
    Upwork is much better. In my opinion, Freelancer.com is too saturated with low quality jobs, and all job offers are immediately saturated with fake proposals or bots. I think there are more scammers on Freelancer.com than there are real freelancers. Also, in my experience, jobs …

    Chose Upwork
    Freelancer.com is another online marketplace to hire freelance individuals for short terms projects. The site is less robust than Upwork in terms of features. The cost is cheaper, but in this case, you get what you pay for. Freelancer does not provide for filtering projects …

    Chose Upwork
    Freelancer.com is a big mess when it comes to its user interface. I have my different currency pricing on it and the listing is just a mess. I especially don't like that it will ask you to upgrade to increase your number of applications per month. Upwork provides better options …

    Chose Upwork
    Upwork and Fiverr definitely have the most traffic. Fiverr is good for package services while Upwork is better for customized/long-term services. You really want to use both. Freelancer.com and Guru.com don't have nearly the traffic. They rarely have any jobs in my niche and …

    Chose Upwork
    Well, UpWork is like gold mine of good clients and customers for a service based outsourcing agency like ours. It has best clients from all over the world.

    Chose Upwork
    Upwork has the longest project database compared with all other marketplaces. But that dominance makes them treat the freelance community very badly.

    Chose Upwork
    Upwork is the best platform, in my opinion, at least for my area of freelance type work. They make it easy to find clients, set up contracts, and communicate regardless of time zone. We owe a lot to Upwork for the success of our team of freelancers and to our agency as a whole. …

    Chose Upwork
    In my experience, Upwork is the easiest to use and I have found the most qualified hires there. It could be in your favor to look one as many sites as you can because you never know who won't be on one. Upwork would definitely be my first place to look though.

    Chose Upwork
    To be honest, I've lost track of how many freelance hubs I have my profile listed on. At last count, it was likely over 20, which is overwhelming, to be sure, but necessary to increase exposure to find quality clients and projects. Each of these has its pros and cons, and I …

    Chose Upwork
    Upwork provides a platform (a software that you can install on your computer) and you are able to manage all of your projects and freelancers on it instead of having to log in and log out to the website every time you want to check on your project status. It is even more …
