Review:

Speedlancer helps U.K.-based employers connect with teams of remote freelancers to complete a wide range of specialized tasks. Employers can choose between the platform's paid task posting plans, which include one-off or multiple task options.

Skilled freelancers from all around the globe register for free and select tasks allocated to the platform's range of fixed categories. Services to employers include tracking the progress of tasks via a task management portal and a free revision of any delivered task.

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, including Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Cons:

  • Speedlancer, in line with other local options such as If You Could Jobs and YunoJuno, doesn't offer free task posting options, whereas global platforms such as Guru and Upwork, do.
  • 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.
