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. …

Software Engineer in Information Technology at Mastersoft (Computer Software, 11-50 employees)
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 …

Product Marketing Manager in Marketing at nLyten Media LLC (Management Consulting, 1-10 employees)
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 …

Co-Founder in Customer Service at 2for1 Virtual Experts (Internet, 1-10 employees)
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 …

Advertising Manager in Marketing at Elemerce (Marketing and Advertising, 11-50 employees)
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 …

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 …

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.

I would recommend Upwork to a colleague as a solution to workplace issues. Our company has utilized Upwork to vet out potential competitors as well as partners in a lengthy data analysis project, as well as given our engineering team extra hands when implementing new products, projects, and features. This has allowed our company to stay on track with projects without in-house manpower.

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.

In my opinion the worst customer service. It is impossible to contact them via phone, and they are not transparent about their decisions.
I feel they don't have the freelance community's best interest in mind. Their focus is on the companies that pay. Freelancers are disposable.
They charge ridiculous fees to the freelancers that are the ones that need the money the most because they are the ones starting their businesses. It is like if your employer charges you for coming to work.

I have earned a lot on Upwork and I would always recommend it to my fellow peers and people who have skills and are looking independently and remotely from the comfort of their home. Once you get successful in developing a good profile on Upwork revenue target are more easier to achieve.

Support has been great. Rarely have I ever had an issue that has required support but when I have they have been great. I did have to interact with support to confirm my identity and the process was easy and quick and support was helpful to know what I needed to do to accomplish that task.

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.

Upwork is better suited for finding contractors that you can have ongoing relationships. Compared to Fiverr, it's a much easier process to find qualified designers rather than one-time contractors to design simple things for you. The interface is easier to use as well and the billing management makes it so much cleaner and easier to know how much we're spending and how contractors are logging work hours.

We have gotten close to 50% of all of our clients through the platform.
Upwork backs the work done through the platform, so no matter what the client or person you are working with does, you get paid for the work that you do. You aren't left hanging after doing hours of work for a client and then never getting paid for it.
Made it easy to communicate with clients from different parts of the world and set up partnerships and agreements in an easier fashion. I would highly recommend it to anyone with a unique skill set.
