Five vs. People Perhour —— Unexpected Winner in 222

in this article, 1. Ease of use and workflow II. Freelancer certification standard 3. Introduction of Freelance Writer 4. Price. Although there are similarities in dispute resolution, Fiverr is obviously the winner AQ

When I started to survey one person every hour for this comparison, I had already prepared another unremarkable platform, which didn't have much to recommend itself. On the contrary, I found a strong competitor and let Fiverr win the money.

PeoplePerHour is a solid platform with some unique and useful functions, especially if you are looking for local freelancers, or it is difficult to calculate a fair freelancer rate. As you can see, I have a lot of good things to say.

But although PeoplePerHour surprised me, it didn't impress me enough: Fiverr is still my first choice for hiring freelancers. The workflow is simple, the services of freelancers are various, and the cost of high-quality work is low, which is unparalleled. To make sure this is a fair comparison, I only look at the types of freelancer services enjoyed by Fiverr and PeoplePerhour. Fiverr has some weird categories (including some I've never heard of), so I stick to the more common categories. Hire a freelancer for $5. Ease of use is similar to workflow, but Fiverr is more streamlined

so you can hire a freelancer for a specific project. For example, you need someone to redesign the homepage of your coffee shop website. On May 5th, this process couldn't be simpler. You will navigate to the web design category (or use the search bar of the website) and you will find hundreds of "gigs" that provide specific web design packages.

you can narrow down your choices by filtering the design type, budget, location and other aspects. Some filters will change according to the category you are searching for. For example, in the design category, you usually see options for source file types, while the marketing category allows you to filter according to industry expertise and specific marketing strategies.

this is very useful for finding what you need quickly. Fiverr won't let you obsess about asking for quotations or interviewing freelancers (I shudder at the thought) to see if they have the exact skills you need. Instead, sellers will tell you in advance what they can offer-you just need to choose the right one.

you will be able to search on PeoplePerHour every hour in the same way, although there are fewer categories and filtering options. One of the filters that Fiverr lacks, PeoplePerHour can choose to look for freelancers who can work with you on the spot instead of remotely. Just enter your country in the location filter, and then select "Site".

in my opinion, this is to give you as many choices as possible. PeoplePerHour lets you choose whether to browse the quotation (equivalent to Fiverr's job), publish the project to get the quotation, or just find a good freelancer and discuss the best choice with them.

P I get it: more choices often mean more happy customers. But when I appeared on the following screen after registering, I was at a loss about this choice. What are the chances that I can find a job that is exactly what I need? It may be safer to publish a project, so the services provided are customized. But what if the freelancer who is most suitable for this job doesn't see my post? (My inner monologue ends here. As you know, as our PeoplePerHour review confirms, it is not the latest and easiest system to use.

no matter how much it costs, PeoplePerHour will guide you to search for offers on top of other options. The homepage search bar will take you to browse the discount, and it will rank first wherever you have a choice. However, you already have many choices in hiring freelancers, and how to find the best freelancer makes you feel annoyed and unnecessary.

another thing to note is that you can also talk to freelancers directly, or post a customized job on Fiverr-we tested this in the expert review of Fiverr. You can do these things before browsing gigs, but Fiverr is set for you. You can browse gigs first, and if you can't find exactly what you need, you can use other options later. This is one of the subtle differences that have a huge impact on the user experience.

when we discuss publishing custom project requests, I need to shout at PeoplePerHour every hour to get a function I like very much: the recommended budget tool. After choosing your project category, budget type and currency, PeoplePerHour will show you a convenient little graph to explain what your budget should be to attract top freelancers.

For me, deciding an appropriate budget has always been one of the most frustrating parts of hiring freelancers, so this tool really saves a lot of time and trouble. It can also give you a clear understanding of the quality of freelancers you will get under a given budget.

Fiverr doesn't have an equivalent tool, but it doesn't need it: because you can filter the available jobs according to your needs, you can see the top freelancers in the budget with just a few clicks, without skipping all the obstacles to publishing the project.

once you find your freelance web designer (or writer, or marketer, or whatever), the workflow on Fiverr and PeoplePerHour is very similar. You will contact the freelancer directly through this platform and receive the final product there. Here's to fewer email threads filling your inbox!

PeoplePerHour's work management interface is called WorkStream, which enables you to manage freelancer teams for a single project. Assuming that you need not only a redesigned homepage, but also a new copy of it, you can hire and manage two freelancers for this project in the workflow. You can also manage the team on Fiverr, but you must be a member of the Fiverr business.

Fiver doesn't have a fancy name to describe where you manage your orders, but you have a dedicated workspace for every order you place. There, you can get updates from your freelancer, receive the final product and pay when you are satisfied.

if you want to hire and manage your freelancer while commuting or waiting for a take-away order at a local Thai restaurant, you are in luck: both Fiverr and PeoplePerHour have good mobile applications for managing your work.

Fiver's application is essentially an application transformed from a desktop website-you can do the same thing on any device, and it's easy. PeoplePerHour's application has all the main functions, but it is still updated regularly to provide a better experience, so it is not a complete product. Find freelancer 2 on Fiverr. Fiverr, the verification standard for freelancers, is open to everyone, but PeoplePerHour sellers must apply

Unlike most major players in freelancer platform games, PeoplePerHour requires every freelancer to apply and get approval before selling their services. Freelancers must provide information about their identity, background and skills, and even provide reference materials to log in on the platform.

all this sounds good-others have basically done half the recruitment work for you-but even for freelancers, there is no indication that the application will be rejected. This makes me wonder what the verification process can do besides confirming identity, which may prevent some excellent freelancers from joining PeoplePerHour every hour.

Fiver needs authentication, but that's all. Anyone can create a job and start selling it immediately. There is a detailed application process for Fiverr sellers to obtain professional certification, which is very useful for buyers if you really need to ensure professional experience in key projects. Only 1% of professional applicants have been verified, so this is a better indicator to confirm experience than PeoplePerHour's standard process. Of course, you still need to know which freelancer is better than the other. Unlike Pro verification, Fiverr relies on the level of automatic calculation determined by several factors, such as the performances completed, the money earned and the rating obtained during the rolling period (the seller must meet the standards for a longer time to reach a higher level).

these three levels are simply called level 1, level 2 and the highest level. There is also a "Fiverr'sChoice" sticker, which can be awarded to any customer with good performance, regardless of their level.

PeoplePerhour's scoring system makes people feel that they have adopted Fiverr's idea and made it more complicated. It is called CERT and consists of five levels based on poorly explained algorithms. They don't tell you how this is calculated, but it is based on a series of factors, such as skills, work done, reliability and so on.

I like this setting better than I do. I like many levels and factors in calculation, but I don't like that PeoplePerHour can't clearly explain the achievements of freelancers in reaching the certificate level. If I want to think about mysterious algorithms, I will go back to work in a search engine optimization organization and decipher Google's rankings every day.

this is especially true for the "top certificate" badge, which has been awarded to the top .5% of freelancers in the past 3 days. Sounds good, but if all freelancers are poor to mediocre, then the top certificate doesn't really tell you that a freelancer is good, but they are not as bad as others. Personally, I prefer this more specific data-such as the data provided by Fiverr. Find freelancer 3 on Fiverr. Introduction to freelancers Both platforms show you the information you really need

Hello, welcome to another part. I'll tell you how similar Fiverr is to PeoplePerHour, but Fiverr is still a better experience for you.

But in fact, the personal data of freelancers you see when browsing are very similar-more similar.
