Fiverr vs Upwork (oDesk / Elance)

[GuestUser140]

Hi guys,

I was wondering when and why to use Fiverr vs Upwork (formerly oDesk / Elance).

Do you notice a difference in quality?

Is Fiverr good enough for quick small tasks, and would one be better off going to Upwork for a larger project?

This specifically applies for a web dev job (creating an electronics buyback website), but I'd like to hear your general experiences.

Some freelancers put $5 gigs on Fiverr which turn out to be $500 jobs, some freelancers on Upwork are medium sized Indian companies that charge twice what local (European) companies do. Just some observations.

Best,

Michael
