Introduction to access websites outside China: elance vs getafreelancer vs scriptlance

All the friends who access the Internet know that elance.com, getafreelancer.com, and scriptlance.com are the three most popular websites with the largest traffic abroad. The three websites have their own merits. Which one is more suitable for you.

Elance

Elance is undoubtedly the largest and best among the three websites, but it is also the most expensive. Elance uses the so-called connection to survive, and as the project budget increases, the connection will also grow. For example, for a project of less than $500, you only need to spend one connection, and for a project of-USD, you need two. In addition, connection will also increase for emergency projects.
Elance also limits the types of active connections. By default, you can only connect to one type of active connections. If you want to increase the number of active connections, you will be charged.

If you are a free user, there are only three connections in a month, which means you can only receive three active connections each month. There are two types of paying users: individual and company. We only talk about individuals here. After all, there are still many individuals in China who have active connections. The fee for paying individual users is USD 10 per month, including 25 connections that can be applied for in one type of projects. If you want to add connections and projects that can be accessed by yourself, you need to pay for it separately. For a connection0.5 USD, you need to add a category that costs 4.95 USD per month.

If you successfully win the project and complete the project to get the payment, elance will deduct 8%-9% of the total payment, you can only get more than 90%.

After reading the above fees, do you think it is too expensive? If you haven't made any money yet, you have spent so much. In fact, it is because of the highest charges, so elance is the best service, it has its own advantages.

Because elance connections are charged, there are not many bids for each elance project. Generally, the number of bids for each elance project is less than five. For some projects, the number of bids for each elance project is more than 10, A small number of bids means that you will have a great chance to win the project, and the success rate is much higher. In addition, projects on elance have a minimum budget limit, that is to say, each project requires at least $50, which is the highest among all active websites. This will exclude some poor, stingy project providers.

In addition, there is Project Progress Management in elance, which is basically not available for other active websites. It can make payments in stages and customize milestone.

Getafreelancer

The popularity of getafreelancer is comparable to that of elance. Without such restrictions, free users can access the service. However, getafreelancer charges 10% of the project amount and you can only get 90%. It also has a limited number of bids. The number of free users seems to be 10 per month.

If you pay $12 a month and become a paying user of getafreelancer, getafreelancer will not be charged for other fees. You can get 100% of the payment amount, the number of bids per month has increased to 300.

It seems that getafreelancer has fewer restrictions, but because there are too many bids, we often see dozens of people bidding for a project, the chance of winning the bidding is too small, many people bidding with robots, it is helpless to automatically bid for a new project.

Getafreelancer has a lower budget than elance. Its lowest bidding price is USD 30. Many projects are successful with the lowest bidding price. It feels that the project publisher on getafreelancer is not as wealthy as elance. However, it is a good choice for new users. There are many projects on the list that can only be used by new users for bidding. This competition is not so fierce.

Scriptlance

Scriptlance is not as popular as elance and getafreelancer, but it is not a paid member, and all Members are the same. There is no bidding quantity. The bidding category is limited, but each project requires a 5% commission. If less than $5, it will be charged $5.

It seems that scriptlance has the lowest cost, but it has a minimum of 10 USD per project. As a result, the project publishers on scriptlance are much poorer than those on elance and getafreelancer, A lot of projects only have a budget of 10 US dollars. if you add the scriptlance fee of 5 US dollars, you can earn 5 US dollars.

Summary

To sum up, elance has the most cost, and each project has more to earn. scriptlance has no cost, but each project has the least to earn. Getafreelancer does not cost much, does not have Commission, and there are many projects. The budget for each project is also suitable, but many bidders.

It seems that each of the three websites has its own advantages. Everyone can find the one suitable for themselves. My suggestion is that all three websites should pay attention to them and they should be active. As long as they have enough capacity, the membership fee is really nothing.
