Se enorgullecen de su sistema de calificación dinámico donde tiene más peso los niveles de ingreso que la calidad del trabajo ejecutado; les parece justo que un freelancer 5 estrellas baje de nivel Silver a Bronce sólo por no haber conseguido nuevos trabajos en la plataforma o estar ausente unas semanas, penalizan el no tener éxito en vez de considerar las calificaciones del poco trabajo que se haya conseguído, en el mundo real un profesional sigue siendo profesional aún cuando no consiga trabajo, según Workana lo justo es que si no les generas ingresos debes estar en el nivel más bajo aún cuando tú trabajo sea excelente

PPH is a global marketplace but buyers are only interested in working with UK freelancers, after 3 months if you do not win a job, they will ask you to pay a subscription to continue in their platform.

If you are a freelancer they request a credit card to validate your account, your ID is not enough, they need you to pay a membership, it seems like they do not want to work with you, they only want your credit or debit card, Guru treats freelancers like bad clients not partners, there are better free alternatives.

PROS & CONS:

Customers:
Pro: Low prices and dozens of desings to choose from.
Cons: Most of the designs are poor quality or with copied elements that you cannot legally use in your logo.

Designers:
Pro: You can build a portfolio.
Cons: Spec work; you will work for free most of the time, and the competition is unfair. Designhill contest and Printshop challenges do not award original good quality artworks, they prefer what their customers like; pretty pre made images from the web.

If you are a customer and need a logo safe to trademark my advice is to hire a professional graphic designer or illustrator, but if you prefer these contest for the low prices, take the pro contest, avoid the regular cheapest one, and before chosing a winner, check the designer's portfolio for signs of coherence and style through all their artworks, and most important make an inverse image search in google images or similar, to check if the designs they've made already exists somewhere else.

If you are a talented designer or artist, stay away from Designhill (unless you need to create or update your portfolio), because you will be competing against designers from Indonesia, Bangladesh and India that repeatedly use copied graphic elements, eventually the customer will choose a pretty logo made this way, instead of a well designed original logo, they simply do not know the difference.

I have participated in many of their contests and reported many copycat designers, but Designhill do not ban them, therefore if you are not an artist but know how to make a clip art composition or copy other people's designs, sign in! You have a good chance of winning a contest in Designhill, or a challenge in their sister website; PrintShop.

"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten..."

It`s imposible to verify an account as a designer, a completely waste of time, even Leonardo da vinci would be rejected by their quality team
