Is UpWork Dodgy?

Last updated on January 28, 2023 @ 12:22 pm

There’s no doubt that UpWork is a popular platform for freelancers and businesses alike. But is it dodgy?

Some people seem to think so. There are a few complaints about the platform that seem to crop up again and again. These include:

  • The quality of freelancers is poor
  • The fees are too high
  • The interface is confusing and difficult to use
  • There’s too much competition on the platform

It’s true that some of these complaints are valid. The quality of freelancers can be variable, and the fees are certainly not cheap. But are these enough to make UpWork dodgy?

PRO TIP: If you’re thinking about using Upwork to find freelance work, you may want to think twice. There have been a lot of reports of scams and unethical behavior on the site. Be sure to do your research and vet any potential clients carefully before agreeing to work with them.

We don’t think so. Overall, UpWork is a solid platform with a lot to offer both businesses and freelancers. Sure, there are some drawbacks, but there are also plenty of positive aspects to the platform.
