Freelancer.com vs. Guru.com vs. Wethos

Whether you're a freelancer or looking for a freelancer, Freelancer.com can get you together. There is a wide variety of project types that either can post in. It does take more time to search for clients and freelancers, though, since there is quite a range of both in experience, quality, and compensation (to be expected, but harder to weed through.) As a freelancer, it seems to work well enough for solo freelancers, but it could be better.

Guru.com is great if you are a freelancer looking to connect with clients to get projects, but it is not for people looking for a steady flow of work or a more permanent employment situation. There is a learning curve before you can successfully get clients, but once you get the hang of it, it works nicely.

• Taking care that all involved parties are satisfied, as client so the employed staff.
• Sorting and filtering the adverts.
• Tracking project progression.

Incentivized

• Provide screen sharing to work with freelancers.
• Provide an instant messenger software. When you receive a message from a freelancer, you receive a notification by email and then you have to go to the website to read his message.
• Fees are too high for freelancers, they can refuse small projects due to high fees.

Incentivized

• Relatively high fees taken out of earnings
• Fake clients still get through, which causes a headache
• Having to pay to get your bid higher up in the list of freelancers makes it even more costly

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 leave or sick leave. This allows me to have a fast design to cover for the absence of the graphic designer.
