PeoplePerHour.com Reviews & Product Details

PeoplePerHour (PPH) was the first platform where I found clients for remote work. So far, the clients I have worked with have been fair, provided clear instructions, appreciated the work delivered, and communicated professionally. One feature I find very helpful is the “Offers” system, which allows freelancers to showcase their services and set a fixed price without using the monthly bid quota (which is limited to 15 free bids). Additionally, when receiving an invitation from a client, submitting a proposal does not reduce the bid quota. Even when my profile was still new, I was able to receive invitations to submit proposals, which helped me start gaining projects on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of PeoplePerHour (PPH) is the limited number of free bids available each month, which can make it difficult for new freelancers to apply to many projects. Competition can also be quite high for certain categories, so it may take time to secure the first few projects. Sometimes clients may not respond after posting a job or inviting proposals, and in some cases buyers cancel projects after posting them, which can make the process a bit uncertain for freelancers.

I’ve been on PeoplePerHour since 2019 and have had consistent work ever since. I’ve met incredible customers, and with some of them I’ve built an ongoing relationship. The platform is easy to use, and the escrow system gives me peace of mind when it comes to payment. Also, PPH customer support is outstanding and generally responds quite fast. It’s my go-to platform for finding work, and I’m very thankful for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had an isolated incident related to a payment. A buyer changed their payment method, and it took three months for PPH to resolve the issue and release the money. Since it was a fairly large amount, it left me quite frustrated, and I shared feedback with PPH because there is definitely room for improvement in how this type of situation is handled.

PeoplePerHour is very easy to use and feels safe for both freelancers and clients. The payment system is reliable, and disputes are usually handled fairly and in a timely way. I also appreciate how the platform protects freelancers by holding funds securely and keeping communication organized within the system, which makes the whole process feel more structured and trustworthy.

Overall, there isn’t much to dislike, but one recurring issue is the number of fake or inactive job posts that stay open for a long time without being awarded. This often leads to wasted proposal credits. It would feel much fairer if these jobs were automatically closed after a set period and the credits were refunded. The proposal credit pricing and the service commission also seem quite high, and even a small reduction would make a noticeable difference for freelancers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about PeoplePerHour is how easy it is to connect with clients and find quality projects. The platform is user-friendly, payments are secure, and it helps freelancers build long-term relationships with clients. I also like that it supports clear communication and fair work terms, which makes freelancing more professional and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the competition can be high, which makes it harder for new freelancers to win projects. The service fees can also feel a bit high on smaller jobs. It would be great to have more tools to support long-term client relationships and reduce fees for loyal users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use PeoplePerHour.com for remote jobs, and I have had a great experience so far. The platform helps me find clients from different regions, which is hard to do in my area. I like the Offer feature the most because I don't need to bid on jobs; people find me through my offers, allowing me to focus on my work rather than finding clients. The initial setup was quite user-friendly and easy to get started. I'd recommend PeoplePerHour.com, especially to my fellow designers, without hesitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I used to have a mobile application of PeoplePerHour.com that is no longer available. I think you should consider this application for freelancers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PeoplePerHour.com is the best freelance platform I’ve come across. It’s very easy to use and offers a user-friendly experience overall. The platform provide a secure transaction, which protect both the buyers and the freelancer. As a freelancer I have had a successful journey so far. Most of the clients are professionals and easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of PeoplePerHour.com is that it contains a high volume of low-quality or scam project invitations. Another downside is that it charges a very high commission fee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate how PeoplePerHour.com helps me find reliable clients and manage projects easily, all in one trusted platform. It makes it easy to connect with clients, showcase my skills, and get paid securely. This platform saves me time and effort while giving me confidence that my work and payments are protected. Its combination of project discovery, communication, and secure payment simplifies everything. Plus, the initial setup was very straightforward, allowing me to quickly create a profile, showcase my skills, and start applying for projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While PeoplePerHour.com is very useful, one area that could be improved is the project search and matching system. Sometimes finding the right projects takes longer than expected. A more refined filtering system or smarter recommendations would make it easier to connect with the most relevant clients. Additionally, many profiles seem fake, which wastes time. Some shared links like GitHub or any repository link may contain viruses, and clients sometimes raise costs unexpectedly, making it hard to fully trust new clients.

I like that with PeoplePerHour.com, I can report someone if they're acting unethically or trying to do some work outside of the platform. The feature lets me raise queries to the customer care, and they resolve my issues very carefully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe in the field of commission, for the first client, using a 20% commission is quite high for me. I think it should be at least 15% or 10%. Another thing that should be improved is the invoice section. Sometimes we have to download the invoice and show it to financial institutions, and this feature has not that great report output. I request the team to improve the invoice and statement features to be in a more easily understandable format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the freedom of choosing who to work with and setting my own prices on PeoplePerHour.com. I appreciate not having to go to a 9-5 job or working for a fixed salary for a fixed number of hours. The setup was very easy 9 years back, and I had no issues using it. Also, I do receive some inquiries from new clients every 2-4 months, which is good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They stopped us from putting up new services which we could offer for a fixed price, commission is too high and don't get too many clicks. People with ridiculously low budgets exploiting artists like us should be banned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PeoplePerHour is a very user-friendly platform. They monitor the job post spamming very carefully.

The hiring process is straightforward, project listings are clear, and the built-in communication tools help manage work efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I didn't face any serious issues with PeoplePerHour. But one thing I must say, the dispute is very much buyer-friendly rather than seller-friendly. I had a couple of experiences with that, although I have submitted my project successfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
