Overview
PeoplePerHour, operated by People Per Hour Ltd, describes itself as “UK-first”, with 60% of its freelancers and clients based in the UK.[11] It cites 3 million rated freelancers and says it is trusted by more than 1 million businesses, and that freelancers have earned US$150 million in total, with top earners making over US$7,000 a month.[11]
Buyers can either post projects and receive proposals or buy fixed-price offers listed by freelancers, similar to Fiverr’s gigs. The platform also mentions a partnership with Toptal for hiring vetted freelancers and a global payroll service.[11]
PeoplePerHour’s UK focus suits British businesses that want sterling pricing and local time zones. Its home page does not publish platform fees or ownership details, and its fee page could not be reached during research, so fees should be checked before use.[11]
