They messaging software is not very useful, and time tracking feature is hostile for many.
A more comparable feature would be for the client to pay a fixed fee to post, and allow them to work outside upwork.
- anovikov 6y agoMessaging part is indeed absurdly awful. Here i agree with you. Otherwise, Upwork is just great, to the point that i wouldn't even talk to a client coming from outside of it just because all of them turned out to be little but spam.
- EugeneOZ 6y ago> why continue to pay 5% on top of payment fees? Because without Upwork weekly charges clients might “forget” and “postpone” and “delay” payments. 5% is ok to know that money will be paid by the schedule.
- anovikov 6y agoIt's not just that. If you made a million or two on Upwork, it makes you stand out making further deals easier. These 5% are money well invested, not just spent.
