Is UpWork agency free?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:14 pm

UpWork is an online platform that connects workers with employers. The website is free to use, but some services require paid subscriptions. UpWork is considered an agency, meaning that workers are not directly employed by the employers they work for. UpWork is not considered a freelancing platform, as freelancers are self-employed and are solely responsible for their own business.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that there is no such thing as a free Upwork agency. Any agency that claims to be free is most likely a scam. If you come across an agency that claims to be free, please report it to Upwork immediately.

However, UpWork does allow employers to post jobs that are seeking freelancers. It is important to note that the terms “freelancer” and “agency” are not interchangeable. Freelancers are self-employed and are solely responsible for their own business, while agencies are businesses that broker work for clients. UpWork is an agency, but is not considered a freelancing platform.
