Ask Is Upwork becoming less competitive because of its fees?

[Edward22]

Freelancers on Upwork often complain that the fees taken from every project make it harder to compete with other platforms that charge less or offer better terms. Some say new freelancers on other sites can offer lower rates and still earn more because of smaller deductions from their final payment. This makes people wonder if Upwork is slowly losing its edge in a market with many cheaper options. Do you think Upwork is becoming less competitive because of its fees?
