I've worked on some other platforms before and Upwork is by far the best one. Awesome clients, very realists, fair budgets. The 20% is a high tax, but it's the price for the service they offer.

I love the fact that they guage the interest of d client and freelancer on a 50/50 rate, it's very encouraging so it's very hard to get cheated by your client or freelancer if you work on the site...

Upwork is good for a freelancer. Upwork totally change my life. I've worked here for more than 1+year and I'm learning and earning every day on this platform.
I have been working and providing services on various freelance platforms but Upwork is the most reliable platform in terms of its services and conditions. Also, the clients on Upwork are 100% organic and totally genuine people. I would recommend everyone either a freelancer or a hiring person to try Upwork at least once. It would be a worthwhile experience.
Thank you, Upwork for providing an amazing platform.
Upwork is a business platform that benefits from connecting freelancers and clients. For me, it essentially does 90% of the work for my business's inbound marketing by finding amazing clients and actually having them come to me. They have some fair built-in protections for both sides. I have personally benefitted quite a bit from it, though I understand that isn't everyone's story. The fees and rules seemed a bit steep and strict at first, but they make sense from a business point of view. The platform seems to reward proactivity and consistency through certain badges and the lowering of fees. In this way, the best can hopefully rise. I recommend giving it a try and then forming your own conclusions.
Upwork has empowered me to work with clients globally and improve my communication and project management skills dramatically over the span of just 5 years. Excellent clients with global skillset, payment protection, ease of setting up milestone and a BIG pool of work! Freelancing & Remote working at its best!
Answer: They are horrible. Every freelancer I've gotten from Upwork has cost me more to fix the small job they have done. There's absolutely no customer service! I would stay away
Answer: This is not the place to inquire.
Answer: No, just 20% of your job when we talk about fixed price, and same for hourly but after some week it's been 10%
Answer: Go to Settings › Contact Info › Click the Close my account link. If you meet the requirements, click the button to confirm that you want to close your account.
Answer: I am a customer and have had a really horrible experience. Upwork claims a 100% guarantee before you pay anything. That is not true. The process is actually quite horrible. You put money in escrow. You only get your money back after a bad contract if the freelancer agrees to release the money. If the freelancer refuses, you get a bargain offer to still pay them something but still you are paying for a bad job you can't use. Then, if you refuse to bargain over a bad job, you are told that it will cost you an additional $389 to arbitrate with a 3rd party affiliate that the customer (me), the freelancer (scammer) and Upwork (ripoff enabler) has to pay. I took it all the way to arbitration with the end result being that Upwork decided that I was just too uninformed to know their policy and that they would give me a one time only refund of my original amount. What they didn't tell me what that they just gave me a "credit" of my original amount and that was the end. So I am still out the original amount and can't get my money back. This sight is a ripoff. Plain and simple.
Answer: Because of their policy changes which are geared towards the client rather than the freelancer. They have dug their own grave with their policy changes of late.
Answer: Go to Get Paid on PC or Mobile, you will see 3 dots in front of your payment method, tap to select edit/remove to change them. Go to Billing Method on PC under Billing Section and tap three dots to change (edit/remove). Thanks
Answer: Be part and see, dont look at the sold mine reviews people, upwork can bush you to reach.
Answer: I agree with Sam. This place is a scam. They have bad reviews everywhere. Katrina is probably working for them!
