    Summary: It is still the best freelance market place I have ever worked with would be my summary.
    Good platform.

    Positive: Clients and independent contractors may find each other with ease on Upwork. Have found great help here but not all of the freelancers.

    Negative: Only tasks that appear fraudulent or suspicious, or are obviously designed to swindle the freelancers, need to be filtered out and blocked. Some freelancers are flaky.

    Freelancer platforms work

    Date: Sep 30 2021

    Summary: I've used this platform since before it was combined and was oDesk. Very good workers, just need to be specific on your needs. I actually use their chat interface online over Slack because it's integrated.

    Positive: Lots of freelancers available and a robust interface of options to filter them by. Generally the quality is good from work I've had done, but you need to be very specific as to what work you need done and processes.

    Negative: Their mobile chat app / interface could use a lot of work. They sometimes unnecessarily ding worker accounts or pause them to validate issues that crop up from their monitoring phrases in chats (or even our account and we've used them for years!), but I also understand it's a quality check and automated software can lead to false positives.

    Great Software for Freelancers

    Date: Feb 21 2022

    Summary: Overall I’m happy with Upwork due to the many clients I have obtained through Upwork, but the fees I’ve paid Upwork are outrageous.

    Positive: As an independent accountant providing bookkeeping and tax services to nonprofits, Upwork is one of the channels I use to solicit new business.

    Negative: The fees paid to Upwork are outrageous. If they changed their model to give the option to pay just for the matching service and allow people to run everything else outside that would be ideal.
