Is fiverr better than Upwork?

[hasanheem]

Actually I am new in fiverr. I have been working in upwork since 2018. The differences between these two giant is only one I believe, which is their profile management. Fiverr has profile as well as gig to share, to monitize as well as to generate more leads. Upwork has connects also to get more leads there needs to be very unique strategy to get first order. I will definitely share my deep experience in future

For me, it's easy to work on Fiverr. I don't understand Upwork well, and I tried working on Upwork once, but a few days after, I gave up on upwork.

Another main difference is the SERVICE CHARGES 10% Vs 20%.

Fiverr is easier to use than other platforms.

Fiverr better than upwork

Upwork's problem is most of its job offers seem to be counterfeit. There are also people who put forth opportunities, but flake out and never follow up. And of course, time wasters who expect big jobs to be completed for paltry sums.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
It's advisable to diversify your portfolio and always have a backup plan in case of unexpected situations.

There's a huge difference between the two. My personal findings are:

1. Fiverr mostly attracts buyers who look to get small jobs done while upwork hosts several major companies. 

2. Fiverr is slightly easier to use than upwork. 

3. You earn (I do) much more on upwork than Fiverr. 

4. Upwork has several types of opportunities and you can set different profiles, consultancies, and projects while Fiverr has only gigs.  

5. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

The pay for writers on Upwork is much lower than Fiverr. You can tell the Upwork customers who venture over to Fiverr. They want to hire us by the hour for weeks and don't get the Fiverr gig concept. Upwork makes sellers pay to contact those offering jobs. It's not very appealing. 

[mahmud_nabi]

Fiverr is beginner friendly. If your any gig ranks fiverr is better than upwork to you. 

[amazon_express]

Yes Fiverr is easier then other market place, I love fiverr 🙂

[saima271]

For me both are same because I have not got any order on both marketplace. 😒

[ads_expertbd]

Both are same.

[dev_naymul247]

I Always Prefer Fiverr marketplace. Then upwork marketplace.

I think it depends on the service you provide. As mentioned in the previous comments, creative writers and writers generally earn less on Upwork. I've seen many proposals on Upwork where the offered salary can appeal only to beginner writers who just want to gain reviews and don't care much about money yet. But for more experienced writers, the budget per project is not even close to the budget buyers on Fiverr offer. I don't know... maybe I didn't search too deep, but this is what I found. So, I feel like Upwork is more challenging than Fiverr for creatives.

I tried Upwork for a few days and found that having to pay to contact the buyers was unappealing, too. So, I would rather pay Fiverr's 20% fee when I get work than pay to find work.

Makes sense!

Both platforms has their own features, TOS and all. It depends on us which one we are using and how we use to get orders and projects. 

[swaybur123]

Fiverr is the easy place.
