However, the point that we want to clearly focus on is the work ethic. Upwork has one of the very best pool of freelance talent on the internet. This is a platform that has been in operations for years hence building a network of very experienced and skilled freelancers. This means that you as a client, you will get the best freelancers.
In addition to that, Upwork does not give people free bid credits daily or monthly. In addition to that, Upwork sells the bid credits and they are expensive. I know by now you are wondering how does this concern you as a client. This reduces the number of job bids that you get. If the bid credits are free or easily available, clients end up getting so many job bids that. Having too many job bids means that you will have to filter through all those proposals.

This means that you have to sieve through the entire list of the freelancer applications to find the best one. This will cost you time. You could even end up with the wrong freelancer.
With Fiverr, you do not have to worry about that. This is because with Fiverr, the freelancers post their services on Fiverr as gigs. Then you as the client, you go ahead and buy the gig. The best thing about this is that you can first see the reviews and rating of the gig from other clients. If the gig is good, then the gig will be having a lot of good reviews and high rating. Thus even before you buy it, you will already know that you will get top notch service.

In addition to that, PeoplePerHour has an escrow program that allows you as a client to only pay after the work is done. What does this mean? When you hire a freelancer, the freelancer starts working on your project. Once the freelancer starts the work, you do not have to pay him/her immediately because he/she could fail to deliver the work. Once the freelancer finishes doing the work and delivers it to you, thats only when you pay the freelancer. In other terms we mean that’s when you release the funds to the freelancer. Hence your money is safe in case the freelancer does not come through.

Moreover, MillionFormula has an escrow program whereby you only pay the freelancer after the work is done. This means that you do not pay the freelancer before the work is done. The money that you load into your escrow account will not be released to the freelancer until he/she delivers the work. When the freelancer delivers the work and you are happy, then you authorize the release of the money to freelancer. If you are not happy with the work or the freelancer did not deliver, you refuse to pay and keep your money.
