# Upwork Reviews & Product Details

Visit Website

Upwork is a freelance hiring platform and work marketplace that connects businesses with independent professionals across more than 10,000 skill categories. It functions as an end-to-end solution for sourcing and managing contingent workforce needs — from project specialists to long-term contractors — without the overhead of full-time hiring. Businesses of all sizes use Upwork to fill skill gaps, execute complex projects, and scale results without adding headcount. Creating an account and posting a job is free. You pay only once a contract begins. Most clients hire within three days of posting. There's also no need for a fully defined scope to get started. You can browse freelancers by skill, experience level, location, and availability, review work histories, and save profiles as you define your needs. Upwork covers a broad range of disciplines, including web and app development, AI engineering, design, finance, customer support, marketing, writing, and consulting. You can hire individual freelancers or assemble multi-person project teams. Upwork is particularly well suited for businesses that need specialized expertise quickly, including freelancers who combine deep domain knowledge with AI tools to amplify their output and deliver results more efficiently. Key platform capabilities include: AI-assisted matching — Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI, analyzes project details like skills, budget, scope, and timeline to surface relevant freelancers. You can also search and filter independently and invite specific candidates to apply to your job. Transparent freelancer profiles — Evaluate candidates through detailed profiles, portfolios, verified work history, client feedback, skill certifications, and badges. Message or interview freelancers before starting a contract. Flexible contract types — Choose between hourly contracts, billed weekly based on logged hours, or fixed-price contracts funded in milestones, depending on how the work is structured. Built-in payment protection — For fixed-price projects, funds are held in escrow and released only upon client approval. For hourly projects, logged hours can be reviewed before billing is finalized. Centralized project management — Contracts, messaging, milestones, timesheets, and payments are managed from a single dashboard, with dispute assistance available if issues arise. Upwork is primarily used by business owners, hiring managers, and procurement teams looking for a faster, lower-risk alternative to traditional staffing or full-time recruitment, whether for a single project or an ongoing contingent workforce strategy.

"Overreliance on AI Makes Support Hard to Reach and Ads Get Rejected"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Upwork?

I've worked with a work for many years. Probably around 15. I was very grateful to find on the have enjoyed my experience with them up until recently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

It seems that recently they're becoming very relying on AI. It's becoming increasingly difficult to talk to a real person in chat or on the phone. This used to be a whole lot simpler. But now they've made it very, very difficult to get to a real person. I've had several experiences where I posted ads for freelancer only for them to be taken down a few minutes later. I had one experience where I kept posting an ad and it was taken down three or four times by of work. I'm not quite sure the reason I could ever find out why. Every time I asked all I get was a canned response that was pretty much useless. I wound up having to have to put way more detail into the doctor description was necessary and even put things in there that weren't necessarily what I needed. But I had to provide way more detail than I should've had to so they had wouldn't be rejected again. I try to be pretty thorough with my ads, but your system just seems to be very critical. I've also had several problems with that work going down and throwing up very errors. Again, though I don't have any proof for this I would probably attribute to an over-reliance on AI. I had pretty good experiences with customer service in the past and even up until it was almost impossible to get a hold of anybody. But your AI is horrible and I would strongly recommend moving away away from so much dependent on it because it's only causing more and more problems. I've even heard about freelancer that have been kicked . One of the people that was kicked off with someone that worked for me. He kept asking for review and what happened but he never got an answer. So unfortunately, I ended up no longer being able to use this guy. I have no idea if it was his fault or just a problem with AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Decent Candidates, But Fees and Poor Contractor Vetting Undermine Trust"

2/5

What do you like best about Upwork?

It’s great to be able to usually find pretty good contract candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

Extremely high fees and membership costs. There also seems to be a lack of proper vetting of contractors: we’ve worked with multiple contractors whose work was atrociously poor, and some lied and acted deceitfully. Many also claim they’re based in the USA, but I’ve been told numerous times by contractors themselves that they use someone else’s ID to fake their profile location. We’ve used Upwork multiple times and have spent thousands of dollars, yet lately the overall quality has felt close to what I’ve seen on other platforms like Fiverr, which are typically far cheaper.

Upwork also consistently lies to the cashback platforms they partner with, telling them that we didn’t make a purchase when that is blatantly untrue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upwork solving and how is that benefiting you?

Web design and production, graphic design, and video editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"I usedc Upwork for several years, now can't apply for projects."

1.5/5

What do you like best about Upwork?

It has been a pretty good source for finding some VO work, some UGC work and a few acting gigs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

You pay for "connects" to bid for work and there's other Upwork freelancers bidding as well. I've noticed the average amount of connects needed for gigs seems to have gone up, so you buy the same amount of connects each month, or whenever you need them, so that's getting more expensive.

My BIG PROBLEM with UpWork is the idiotic CloudFlare verification system. A lot of sites use it and it sucks. I can get on the site, sometimes after having to reload the page several times because of CloudFlare, but it never let's my apply for work. NEVER. I've complained, it's the same old answers, clear you browser, cache, blah, blah, blah, which NEVER works. I wasted money because now I have 139 connects on there and I can't use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upwork solving and how is that benefiting you?

It was a decent source for finding gigs, but now I can't apply to any of them, so now there's not much of a benefit. The only way I can get work is if a client reaches out to me and I apply that way. It's really dumb, CloudFlare is a scam. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fee'd to death in a race to the bottom"

2/5

What do you like best about Upwork?

It's a gateway to clients, the interface is fairly straightforward and easy to use. It doesn’t block me from applying to U.S. jobs when I’m outside the country, which is important for me as an American who works both domestically and abroad. It's a good concept for remote work even though it's so poorly executed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

Any semi-decent job is flooded with bids in under an hour, completely oversaturated and dominated by foreign dev shops posing as local freelancers.

Freelancers are fee’d to death in a race to the bottom that has gutted the industry.

Fee overload:

Freelancer service fee: Up to 15% taken from every payment (hourly, fixed-price, bonuses, Project Catalog—everything).

Membership fee: $19.99/month for Freelancer Plus, just to get more Connects and slightly better terms.

Connects: $0.15 each to bid on jobs; you only get 10 free/month on Basic or 100 on Plus.

Direct Contracts fee: 5% (Basic) or 0% (Plus) even when you bring your own clients.

Withdrawal fees: $0.99 for bank transfers, $2 for PayPal, $30–$50 for wire transfers.

Customer service has gone from decent to unhelpful. They’ve changed important policies (like deadlines for logged hours) without effectively notifying users.

The system is built in a way that can be exploited from both sides. The protections in place often block valid freelancers while con artists find ways around them.

Majority of US competitors are low-bidding overseas dev shops with an American “front,” delivering subpar work. If they suspect a bad review, they just cancel the contract so it never shows up their profile. (This isnt speculation, I've been personally contacted and asked to be a front by foreign dev shops several times, and I have personally come in contact with several existing ones.)

Freelancers have little to no protection from abusive clients who threaten low reviews to get extra work or pull bait-and-switches by changing project scope mid-job.

From a client’s perspective, the experience is mostly neutral-to-positive. From a freelancer’s perspective, it’s blood, sweat, and fees. Every once in awhile Im forced to interact with a platform that is so blatantly exploitative that just hearing the name makes me cringe. Few platforms and organizations have achieved that status in my life and Upwork is at top of the list. I'm to try flexjob , or cold emailing and see how it goes, cause this platform is just and time and money pit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upwork solving and how is that benefiting you?

Right now its literally not solving any. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Hard to get things rolling"

2/5

What do you like best about Upwork?

I like that there are all kinds of work and that pricing / contracts plainly put everything out there to see. There is a lot to go through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

There is a lot of spam / junk to sort through and outside of having a few specific skills it is hard to find consistent work. There are a lot of jobs and you have a limited number of 'connects' to apply for them. You can buy more connects but being that upwork takes a fee from each contract AND buying more connects costs $$ it feels like upwork is actually making more $$ than I am. Those few notes combined make it some random $$ at best but not something you can rely on for any type of income. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was supposed to be a way for some supplemental income but it never really made it to that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is good for professionals that have a large portfolio but not for new users"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Upwork?

I like that a quick job can be done and payment is prompt but it is very hard to find legit jobs on there. There are a lot of scams and people trying to get your information. A lot of people paying for you to leave a review of their products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

A lot of scams, if a legit job is on there you have thousands of applicants to compete with and you waste your free contacts on jobs that never reply back. The contacts should only be used if you are selected for a job. It has been nearly impossible to find side work on this app that I just stopped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upwork solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can see that it is a good way to make extra money but only if you pay to have connects to apply to the jobs.the only benefit I got out of it was finding quick jobs that did not pay much at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to set your own hours and work from anywhere with an internet connection are great. It is also great to be able to connect with clients from everywhere around the globe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

There are way too many spam and ultra-low-paying gigs on the platform these days. Upwork is also taking a bigger cut from freelancers. They are also quickly moving to a “pay to apply” format. This makes me hesitant to apply for gigs when I’m not sure if my application will even be seen by an evaluator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Reliable Platform for Freelancers and Clients Alike"

2/5

What do you like best about Upwork?

Upwork provides a seamless and secure platform that connects freelancers with global clients. I appreciate the user-friendly interface, transparent payment system, and the wide range of job opportunities across different categories. It’s a great place to build long-term professional relationships and grow your career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

While Upwork is a great platform overall, one challenge I’ve faced is the high competition, especially for new freelancers. Sometimes it takes time to land your first few projects. Additionally, the service fees can feel a bit high for beginners. However, once you establish yourself, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upwork solving and how is that benefiting you?

Upwork solves the problem of finding reliable freelance work and trusted clients in one secure platform. It eliminates the need for cold outreach or unreliable job boards. By handling contracts, payments, and dispute resolution, Upwork allows me to focus on delivering quality work. This has helped me build consistent income, professional relationships, and a strong freelance career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Upwork?

I like the ability to build my experience and client list. I think the app and desktop versions are easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

I really dislike the new pricing model for freelancer fees. 15% fee on long term projects with clients is absurd. Your details about it are vague enough freelancers are blind to know what the percentages will be until they apply. Not good. It’s deterring me from using it now b Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upwork solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helped me pivot my career after COVID from restaurant management to project management of all kinds.

"Nickel and Dimed to Death"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Upwork?

Money for contracts is held in Escrow, which protects freelancers from getting scammed. It is easy enough to fill out a profile and start sending out proposals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Upwork?

Upwork used to be great, but they are making life hard for freelancers. They increased their percentage that they take from each writing contract and they have increased the amount of Connects needed to apply for every job because they want freelancers to buy more Connects. As a freelance ghostwriter, this makes it really hard to get paid fairly, especially because a lot of ghostwriting work has decreased because of generative AI-- which is something that Upwork champions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Upwork solving and how is that benefiting you?

I get income through ghostwriting work on Upwork, which helps me pay my bills. However, because of recent changes, it is much harder for me to find work and get paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
