What Is the Difference Between Top Rated and Top Rated Plus on UpWork?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 10:01 pm

When you’re looking for a freelancer on UpWork, you’ll notice that some have the “Top Rated” badge while others have the “Top Rated Plus” badge. But what’s the difference between the two?

PRO TIP: There is a big difference between Top Rated and Top Rated Plus on Upwork. Top Rated Plus freelancers have a higher quality portfolio, higher average hourly rate, and are more likely to get hired for jobs.

Top Rated freelancers have completed at least 50 hours of work on UpWork and have a minimum of 90% positive feedback. They also must have passed all of UpWork’s skill tests. Top Rated Plus freelancers have all of the above, plus they’ve completed at least 250 hours of work on UpWork and have a minimum of 95% positive feedback.

So if you’re looking for a freelancer with more experience, you’ll want to search for those with the Top Rated Plus badge. But if experience isn’t as important to you, then any Top Rated freelancer will do.
