I have been working on PeoplePerHour as a WordPress speed optimization freelancer since 2021 and have completed 60+ projects for 40+ buyers, mostly from the UK and Europe. What I like most is the quality of clients - they usually know what they need and are willing to pay fairly for good work. The Offers (Hourlies) system is very useful: buyers can purchase a fixed-price service directly, which saves time on back-and-forth. Payments are protected through escrow, so I never have to worry about getting paid after delivering the work. The WorkStream makes communication, files and invoices easy to manage in one place.

The number of free proposal credits is limited, so bidding on projects becomes expensive unless you buy credits or a subscription. Competition in popular categories is high, and new offers can take time to get visibility in search. The platform also promotes paid features (featuring offers, subscriptions) quite often.

Most projects in my category come from UK clients who provide a clear brief and a fixed budget, so I can quickly tell whether a job is a good fit for me. Putting together a proposal with a price breakdown and deposit only takes a couple of minutes. I also like that clients can purchase a fixed offer, such as a Telegram bot or a Laravel fix, without a long back-and-forth. The project workstream keeps everything in writing, which really suits the way I work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good projects can get 50+ proposals within just a few hours, so you really have to move fast. On top of that, new accounts are limited to setting offers for up to 5 days, and the skills list still feels incomplete, with common options like Vue.js and Next.js missing. Proposal credits also run out quickly if you’re applying to a lot of jobs, which makes it harder to stay active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about PeoplePerHour is the opportunity it provides freelancers to showcase their skills, connect with clients from different parts of the world, and work on projects that help them grow professionally. The platform offers a convenient way to find opportunities, build experience, and develop long-term client relationships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area for improvement would be increasing the visibility of freelancers and making it easier for new freelancers to connect with potential clients. Overall, I appreciate the platform and believe that improvements in these areas could make the experience even better for freelancers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about PeoplePerHour is that it provides a straightforward way to connect with international clients and discover projects that match my technical expertise. The platform has a clean and easy-to-use interface, making it simple to find projects, submit proposals, and communicate with clients. I also appreciate having another channel to grow my freelance business and build long-term client relationships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main area I think could be improved is the proposal credit system. For active freelancers, having limited proposal credits can restrict the number of relevant opportunities they can pursue. More flexible pricing and proposal options, along with stronger AI-powered project recommendations and matching, could improve the overall ROI for freelancers.

I like how easy it is to connect with clients and find projects that match my skills. The platform makes communication and project management straightforward, and I’ve had a good experience working with clients through PeoplePerHour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main downside for me is the relatively high service fee. As freelancers, we often have to offer competitive and reasonable prices to win projects in a highly competitive market, so the additional commission can have a noticeable impact on our earnings. I also think the payment release period could be shorter, as the current waiting time can be a little long. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy using PeoplePerHour.com for freelancing because it has quality UK clients, and my experience has been positive. I find the interface good, not overly complex or 'greedy.' Additionally, the average project value from clients here is higher, around $200-$300 compared to $100 on Upwork, which I appreciate. I also liked that the initial setup was easy and smooth, taking about two days for verification before I could start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were more projects available on PeoplePerHour.com so I could have more work opportunities. Also, the 20% commission is slightly on the higher side; it would be better if it were around 10-15%. Although the new rule of a 7% commission after working with a client for some time is a positive change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The idea of finding freelance projects in one place appealed to me. In practice, I have received no paid work or genuine client enquiries, so I cannot point to a meaningful benefit from my subscription. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PeoplePerHour feels outdated in its design and navigation, and I find it expensive for the results it has delivered: no paid jobs and no genuine client enquiries. The 12-month commitment they say applies was not sufficiently clear to me at signup; the signup emails I reviewed do not mention a minimum term. For me, it has offered the appearance of opportunity without any actual business. I regret signing up and wish I had explored Fiverr instead, although I cannot say it would have worked better. One of my worst subscription decisions, and poor value based on my experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that PeoplePerHour makes it easy to connect with clients worldwide and find projects that closely match my skills. I also value the WorkStream and secure payment system, which keep communication, project management, and payments organized in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike is the limited proposal credits and high competition, which can make it harder to apply for suitable projects, especially for newer freelancers. I also think inactive job posts and payment processing times could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about PeoplePerHour is the opportunity to connect with clients who need my website design skills. I appreciate the flexibility to choose projects that match my expertise, interests and availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The competition for projects can make it difficult to stand out. I’d appreciate better project matching and more visibility for freelancers based on their relevant skills and portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about PeoplePerHour is the opportunity to connect with clients from around the world and work on a wide variety of projects. The platform makes it easy to showcase skills, build long-term professional relationships, and help businesses achieve their goals through high-quality work. I also appreciate the secure payment system and the flexibility it provides for freelancers and clients alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I dislike is the withdrawal waiting period after receiving payment. Having to wait around 15 days before accessing funds can be frustrating for freelancers. It would be great if PeoplePerHour could reduce this waiting period, as faster access to earnings would improve the overall experience for freelancers on the platform.
