Comparison of Freelancing Platforms Fiverr And Upwork

This article will discuss why Fiverr is best for beginners and why Upwork is a better option if you are working as an agency or have a top-rated seller rank on Fiverr. Let’s look at how these two popular freelancing platforms are different from each other. 

Fiverr vs. Upwork – What’s the Difference?

Fiverr is a beginner-friendly website for newbies as it has a flexible algorithm for promoting gigs. One of the significant differences of Fiverr is that the communication after bidding on the buyer request takes place within hours, minutes, or seconds and the order is placed in the same duration. After you have delivered the order, the order is also approved in a matter of a limited time. While on the other hand, the duration of communication on Upwork takes place a minimum within three days. If you have placed a offer on a buyer request on Upwork, you must wait for three days. There are a few small projects which can take less time when compared with more significant projects. 

So it is significant that you take a start from Fiverr as you can receive orders quickly and place a proposal on ten buyer requests daily free of cost. On Upwork, we use connects for placing bids, while on Fiverr, we use ten buyer requests. A job on Upwork charges between 2-6 connects. After creating an account on Upwork, you get about 60-80 connects. You can also buy connects if you don’t have free connects. If you are a beginner on Upwork, you can get more connections either bypassing the readiness test or getting selected for an interview on your bid. Whereas on Fiverr, you don’t need any connections; you can bid on ten buyer requests daily free of cost. 

If you want to start freelancing from scratch, then Fiverr is the better choice. After acquiring a Level Two or top-rated badge, you can move to Upwork to get high-paying projects.
