Review:

Speedlancer matches employers with curated teams of skilled freelancers. A range of paid plans is available to meet employers' needs, including one-off or monthly options. Freelancers hail from all over the world and can register and upload their portfolios for free.

Canada-based employers can post tasks under any of the platform's specialized categories. Native English speaker support is provided, and a concierge service is available to manage projects and teams.

Pros:

  • Employers are promised delivery of their work within a four-hour deadline.
  • The platform features a variety of task posting plans that include one-off and bundle options.
  • Unlike other options like Upwork and Freelancer, employers benefit from curated talent and pre-negotiated fees.
  • The platform includes task tracking via a task management portal.
  • All teams are overseen by a concierge and the platform features AI-driven technology to track the progress of tasks.
  • Employers receive confirmation that a task has been completed and tasks are delivered to employers via email.
  • Employers are entitled to a free revision of delivered tasks.
  • Slack integration and a dedicated Speedlancer "slackbot" make it easy to directly communicate with freelance teams.
  • The platform features 24/7 support provided by native English speakers via telephone, email, Slack, or live chat.
  • Speedlancer has an established social media presence.

Cons:

  • Speedlancer is less affordable than local options, such as Workhoppers.
  • The platform doesn't offer free task posting, which Guru does, and Upwork also features a free basic project posting option.
  • A time-based rather than an outcomes-based pricing model applies to completed tasks.
  • Prices are only quoted in U.S. dollars.
  • Employers only qualify for one free revision of completed tasks.
  • The 4-hour delivery time is not guaranteed for revisions, which will usually be completed within 24 hours.
  • No permanent hiring options are available.
  • The platform is available in English, and it does not feature a French language option.

Reputation:

Speedlancer vs. Upwork:

Speedlancer and Upwork are freelance marketplaces, but only Speedlancer matches skilled freelancers to tasks. Both offer a wide array of paid plan options.

Speedlancer vs. Freelancer:

Speedlancer and Freelancer both allow employers to post freelance roles, but Speedlancer is slightly more feature-rich with candidate matching tools. Speedlancer's monthly plans start at US$500.00, while Freelancer offers a free project posting service. Neither platform has a French-language option.
