I like the variety of projects and contests on Freelancer.com. Contests let me prove my skills with real work instead of just a profile, which helps me win new clients. I can reach clients from all over the world, so I’m not limited to clients in Bahrain, and the platform gives me a steady flow of international clients without needing my own marketing. The mobile app lets me reply to clients fast. Milestone payments help protect me from clients who don’t pay, and chat, files, and payments are all in one place. Getting started was easy: making a profile and adding skills was quick, the ID verification steps were clear, and I was bidding on projects the same day. I find Freelancer.com a great platform for finding international clients and steady work, and I’d recommend it to any freelancer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the bid limits restrictive, and the fees can feel high. I’d like my bid returned if a client closes or deletes a project without hiring anyone, and lower fees for loyal freelancers with good ratings would help. Stronger checks on new client accounts could cut down on scams, and a filter to hide very low-budget projects would save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
