Upwork has great products which enable it to withstand competition from other freelance platforms. For instance, its hourly tracker attracts corporate clients who want to shift to remote work. Fiverr, LinkedIn or Freelance.com does not have this feature; hence they cannot compete with Upwork for such clients. Upwork has also introduced a project catalog similar to Fiverr's "gigs" feature. Therefore, clients looking for freelancers to sell them short-term gigs can choose Upwork instead of Fiverr. Upwork's payment protection service also gives it a hedge against the LinkedIn Marketplace.
