As a long-standing client of Upwork, it deeply saddens me to say that the platform has significantly declined in quality and client satisfaction over the years. I’ve previously spoken highly of Upwork, having found great freelancers through the site, but now I feel compelled to speak out about its shortcomings.

 

Upwork’s management appears short-sighted in their decision-making, focusing more on immediate profit than fostering long-term relationships with their users. This has led to increased fees, poor customer support, and restrictive policies that make it difficult for both freelancers and clients to thrive. It’s clear that their priority is no longer about creating a mutually beneficial environment but maximizing revenue at the expense of user experience.

 

Additionally, I’ve noticed a sharp decline in the quality of available talent, with many experienced freelancers choosing other platforms due to these very reasons. This has left clients like myself facing higher costs for lower-quality work, which is frustrating and unacceptable.

 

After years of loyalty, I am extremely disappointed and will now be exploring alternative freelance platforms. There are far better options out there that offer more transparency, better service, and truly care about fostering long-term relationships between clients and freelancers.

 

Upwork had great potential, but its current path is not sustainable. I can no longer recommend it, and I intend to speak just as strongly against it as I once did in favor of it.
