Sound Familiar?
These are the frustrations PeoplePerHour freelancers tell us about most.
Service Fees on Both Sides
PeoplePerHour charges sellers up to 20% commission and adds a separate buyer service fee on top. You're effectively paying twice — once through reduced earnings, again through inflated prices that put buyers off.
AI Proposal Screening Blocks You
PeoplePerHour's AI system screens and rejects proposals before buyers even see them. Your carefully crafted response gets filtered out by an algorithm — and you never know why or how to fix it.
New Sellers Get Buried
Without existing reviews and ratings, new sellers struggle to get any visibility at all. The platform heavily favours established sellers, making it incredibly difficult to build momentum from scratch.
Payment Holds and Delays
Completed work doesn't mean completed payment. PeoplePerHour holds funds for days after client approval, and the release process can stretch even longer if there's any query on the order.
Limited Control Over Your Profile
You're locked into PeoplePerHour's template with limited customisation. You can't properly showcase your brand, set your own terms, or differentiate yourself from thousands of identical-looking profiles.
No Direct Client Communication
All communication is filtered through the platform. You can't share contact details, build direct relationships, or take clients off-platform — even after successfully delivering multiple projects.
