Freelancer vs Odesk
Being a freelancer its essential to know which site is best in terms of more work , better project management , secured / assured payouts etc ..as i have good service provider profile on both odesk and freelancer lets compare freelancer.com (earlier known as getafreelancer.com) and odesk.com , its my personal comparison .
Freelancer is simple straight forward outsourcing website navigation is easy but i think for startup companies and freelancers its a nightmare “no limit” term on bidding and forced prominence to premium members makes freelancer a difficult challenge for newbies , its good pond for some old users like “pinky on freelancer” , with more than 1400 reviews its impossible for a new members to compete him/her on any logo/banner design job posting . freelancer have new features like its offering marketplace i dont think combining outsourcing with digital shop is a good idea as it will decrease the tasks for designers and coders .
Odesk on the other hand dont have anything like free or paid members , membership is 100% free there , and all members are represented equally , all members have proper bid posting quota so its impossible to spam the job postings with offers like ” plz check pm ” ” plz check pm” etc etc , i know many newbies on odesk who started within month and now have a solid professional profiles there , another great advantage of odesk is that it pioneer in introducing hourly job system to outsourcing market with solid tools like team viewer , task screen capturer etc odesk is the most secured outsourcing platform for buyers , contractors or service seekers .
at last lets compare alexa stats , best outsourcing site is one with highest numbers of users (buyers)
freelancer vs odesk
so according to my personal view Odesk Is better than freelancer .
