Review:

Behance launched in the U.S. in 2006, offering employers both a wide local and international reach. The platform gives businesses free access to a large pool of freelance designers, as well as the opportunity to post jobs and open projects.

Behance allows employers to post creative jobs for free, making it more affordable than several competitor job boards, such as Dribbble and DesignCrowd. However, the platform is quite basic and does not offer additional hiring tools, such as applicant tracking and social media promotion.

Pros:

  • Behance offers free job postings.
  • The platform provides access to around 40 million job seekers.
  • Posting a job gives employers access to an extensive network of freelancer profiles and portfolios.
  • The platform allows users to re-activate listings after their 30-day expiration at no additional cost.
  • The job board features an employers' dashboard to easily manage job postings.
  • Employers can save the information of potential candidates.
  • A free mobile app is available to download.

Cons:

  • The platform is quite basic and does not offer any additional visibility options.
  • No applicant tracking system is available.
  • Employers need an Adobe account to post jobs.
  • No phone support is provided.

Reputation:

On Trustpilot, Behance has a 2.9/5 rating based on almost two dozen reviews. Most U.S. users noted the platform's user-friendly interface, while some reviewers were dissatisfied with the performance of the site's app, as well as its browsing tool.

Behance also enjoys a rating of 4.5/5 rating on Sitejabber based on more than 30 reviews. The majority of users praised the site's ease of use, good customer service, and selection of design portfolios.

Pricing:

Behance offers a free job posting service. Any Behance member can post jobs or apply for jobs through the dedicated Jobs portal. Employers can also hire freelancers from the platform's extensive candidate network, or purchase a subscription for access to exclusive content.

For project hires, Behance charges a platform fee of 10% plus a $2.00 flat fee for payments under $500.00. Project payments from $501.00 to $2,500.00 are subject to a 5.5% fee. Project payments above $2500.00 are subject to a 3% fee.

Behance vs. Dribbble:

Like Behance, Dribbble offers an international reach and attracts a wide range of design-based professionals. Behance is the more affordable option, offering a free job posting service, while Dribbble's plans start at $150.00 per month. Of the two, only Behance offers a mobile app for on-the-go convenience.

Behance vs. 99designs:

99designs does not charge a monthly subscription fee, instead charging for each type of design job separately. Behance offers a free job posting service but offers additional subscription options for users wanting to follow specific creative projects. Designers on 99designs go through a rigorous application process, while Behance is primarily a portfolio site.

Behance vs. DesignCrowd:

DesignCrowd has fewer registered freelancers and charges between $69.00 and $779.00 per post. In comparison, Behance offers a free job posting service, making it the more affordable choice. While Behance is an established website with high-quality design portfolios, DesignCrowd attracts freelancers with differing levels of experience.
