As a Top Rated Plus freelancer on Upwork, I can say that Upwork allowed me not only to start as a freelancer, to get my first jobs and to learn new skills, but also to work with renowned clients worldwide, with whom I never thought I would work.
I will always be grateful to Upwork for having changed my life!
The best platform I experienced as a struggling freelancer. I appreciate their effort for newcomers like me.
I have been working as a freelancer developer for 3 years in Upwork. Is the best site for dev's who want to works as a freelancer. 100% recommended.
I started to work in Upwork 2 years ago, they are very professional and have lots of jobs offers to choose from. Quality is a must.
I had an interesting experience after trying it, seeing so many jobs every day and interacting more widely, I highly recommend using upwork to increase your reach.
Best platform for freelancers, a chance for students to polish their skills and earn some career along with helping people in their work.
Upwork is a great money-making platform for freelancers and also for clients who want to get their work done at home without any hassle.
Keep it up.
I have been working on the freelancer platform for more than three years, and UpWork is one of the best platforms that I have a chance to experiment. UpWork did well in attracting the Clients and control the risks for the Client and the freelancers through their policies and algorithms.
The unique thing that I am not totally satisfied with UpWork is that I must take a few time to discover all of their functions.
It was not easy at first, but after knowing that the working system is very safe and comfortable, I hope that the cost cuts can be less
It takes me all the way from finding a job that's appropriate for me, messages, calls, and the payment platform is the best. You can track your pay all the way from escrow to in the bank. Very easy to use and I've tried a couple of others and they're confusing.
It has been the only a month that I started to work on Upwork and I always find my niche related job here, super easy to work here. Great platform.
Upwork is the most reliable and professional platform for the clients and freelancer.
Keep up the good work. And I love the way upwork keep branding its clients and freelancers.
This platform.is heaven. For freelancers.
One of the top freelancing and agency running platforms, it is not only focused on individual earning like all other platforms, instead, but they also offer you to create your agency, get people hired under your agency name, have their earnings separately and with hourly protection - you get what you worked on, I like the equality of importance this platform gives to both contractor as well as the client. It's about dedication, learning and interest one puts in their upwork career to make them a successful candidate. I find upwork as the number 1 platform in freelancing!
I had been working on other freelancing platforms and then I came to know about upwork. I made an account, started bidding, and my experience on upwork is great. I will recommend Upwork to everyone who want to work professionally. It is a great platform where you can find professional agencies, freelancers and recruiters.
5 stars

We have many freelance platforms; so far, Upwork has been the best option for freelancing jobs. Secure and Trusted!
Upwork has connected me with many great clients over my 1.5 years with them. I have recommended Upwork to both family and friends. Everything is not perfect with Upwork, but what in life really is perfect. I look forward to continue growing my contacts and business with Upwork
Upwork is one of the popular freelance websites, with over more than 1.5 million clients. It offers a range of jobs from hourly to fixed projects, short-long term projects, and even entry-level to expert-level tasks.
I have tried a few ways of doing freelancing online, by far upwork is the best platform. The staff is very supportive and willing to help freelancers with any trouble we face on the platform. The system is secure and tight, so as long as we follow the TOS, we will be safe and thrive. Keep up the good work!
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!
