People per hour-a freelancers marketplace.

The necessity for outsourcing work and big projects through freelancers is catching up and more online marketplaces are being launched. To reduce the overall cost, freelancer outsourcing is the preferred strategy.

Moreover, buyers are able concentrate on their core jobs while outsourcing certain specific tasks to those who know best.

PeoplePerHour – A less popular marketplace for freelancers when compared to other giants like elance.com and freelancer.com

The kinds of jobs that re posted by those who want such jobs to be completed are quite diverse that include programing, fixing web site errors, uploading a script or even developing a new software.

Since this is British website, I could see a difference in job requirements from other U.S. based freelancers marketplaces.

You are paid in British pounds in People per Hour.

  2. Hi, this is Nicole Miller from vWorker.com (formerly known as Rentacoder.com). Like PeoplePerHour, vWorker provides access to a wide variety of jobs, but the services available at PeoplePerHour could limit success. Consider the following:

    1. PeoplePerHour charges its workers a 20% fee + 1.9%-3.5% for payment method. vWorker charges a maximum of 6.5%-15%. In addition, PeoplePerHour limits workers to 10 bids/month unless they pay a monthly fee of £7.95 (for 40 bids) or £14.95 (for 80 bids). vWorker on the other hand, does not have any subscription fees or any other types of hidden fees. Our project fees are as low as 6% and we guarantee all types of unlimited work.

    2. At PeoplePerHour, the worker is responsible for making sure an employer's escrow account is pre-funded, which can result in not getting paid for work. But vWorker guarantees payment with no qualifications.

    3. At PeoplePerHour, an employer can unfairly delay arbitration (and tie up funds) for up to 30 days (15 days due + 15 day grace period). Yet on vWorker you can start an arbitration immediately.

    In addition, PeoplePerHour doesn't publish its arbitration details. At vWorker, we offer arbitration on all projects free of charge and we test your deliverables to make sure they meet requirements. Even more, we show the public how our arbitrators make their decisions.

    If you have any questions about this or anything else, feel free to call in to talk to a facilitator 7 days a week, or send email throught the site's feedback form.
