"The best place to focus on your freelance job"
5/5
What do you like best about Toptal?

You can focus on doing a great job. After filling a complete profile, they match you with a client, or you can apply for different offers. Both ways make you spend less time finding clients and more time enjoying your work. Most clients they matched me with were terrific companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

You need to be aware of the time between engagements in order not to be without work. They are improving this although as you can apply to new offers a month before finishing the current jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Toptal?

The stability that Toptal brought to my life is amazing. Every day there are new exciting jobs that I can apply.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

I still have difficulties managing finance when receiving 2x a month for a full-time gig.

But I think that's on me; there's no way around :)

Maybe one thing I dislike is when I put a lot of effort into an application, but in the end, I wasn't fit for that client's budget. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I enjoy the speed and helpfulness of the staff working in the Toptal network. After my successful application to the company, I received my first job after just one interview in a few days and it has been only great since then. Every time I need any help or have any questions, there are always people who are happy to help and respond. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Toptal?

The platform gives you lots of resources and guidance to make your project successful. Referral bonuses are very high. Also, you can get reimbursement for many certifications. At the same time, you don't need to bargain with the clients regarding financial matters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

Not every project is super-interesting or well-organized. But still, you can decide which ones to take and leave on 2-weeks notice, so that's not a big deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Toptal Review"
4/5
What do you like best about Toptal?

Good platform for freelancers, good salaries and opportunity to work with top companies. Payments come on time and very reliable. Does have accelator programmes for it's talents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

Very expensive for clients which kind of forces clients to end engagements. Hard to focus on it 24/7 as primary source of income since an engagement can end anytime and might also take a lot of time to get another one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Working with Toptal is a great experience"
5/5
What do you like best about Toptal?

As a developer, I could always do my work, but I couldn't "sell" it properly. It was always hard to find new clients; Toptal covers this aspect in the best way possible. A group of agents takes care of finding new clients based on our knowledge and making the best matchings possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

There is not much to say here. From day one, working in Toptal was an incredible journey and still is. Although "dislike" is a very strong word, if I had to pick something, I would like to see more features and options regarding the debit card provided by Toptal for payments. For example, there's no 3d security, and I would like to see the possibility of making payments in cryptocurrencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Working with Toptal"
4/5
What do you like best about Toptal?

At Toptal, I like that I'm paired with serious clients that respect my time and ability, and for receiving a fair compensation for the work that I do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Toptal?

The few issues I have are with tracking time and payout. Some engagements call for a lot of work one week with only a little work the next, but to protect the contractor, Toptal makes it difficult to waive time that isn't spent working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
