ProZ.com, Inc.Reviews of proz.com

I have worked with Proz so many years now, before also as Online Remote Interpreter through their Boostlingo platform, and believe it or not, I had payment of 3500 dollars accumulated and saved on the platfrom from 2021 which I had forgotten to withdraw it, and not "luckily", but Honestly enough nobody had taken it, the money was safe there for many years, 5 years, and I just withdrew it few days ago July 2026. So, these people really are honest and pay you what you already worked before, even if you have forgotten to withdraw the money for few months, years, you are going to find it again in your account. Only Kudos to such a serious company! As for jobs, they do not offer security for it, it is you and the feedback your clients provide that will increase your rating and requests. For the rest they help only as a network intermediator to connect you with providers-clients.

Proz.com is the Best Platform to work as a freelancer. Its support team is cooperative. I appreciate Pro.com

Excellent platform for freelancers. Staff is always friendly and ready to help. Nothing short of an awesome!

I am a freelance translators and have enriched my clientele by means of proz.com. I think that some of the other reviews are misleading. If someone is electrocuted due to one's negligence, it is not the fault of the electricity.

Great for freelancers

I disagree with the negative comments posted here: I've now been working as a freelance translator for 8 years, and that would never have happened without ProZ. ProZ offers a great meeting space for freelancers and outsourcers/translation agencies. But that's what ProZ is: a meeting platform. Translation jobs are not magically going to land in your inbox simply because you registered on the platform. As a freelancer, you need to put the work in: build a solid profile, with translation samples to showcase your skills, do a few pro bono jobs and then request feedback to have something to show to potential paying clients, customise your application for each job to show you are the right translator for this specific project, instead of sending the same template to every outsourcer, etc.... And yes, paying members get a lot more benefits and work opportunities, but ProZ is not a charity, they need income to provide their platform to you! So if you are not ready to do all this, then your paying membership will be a waste of money, but if you are, the return on investment is well worth it. And of course, ProZ can't guarantee that the outsourcer will pay you on time, or that the translator you hire is qualified or reliable, but they have feedback systems in place for both, and they flag up outsourcers that have been consistenly reported for non-payment, so I really think they're doing what is reasonnably possible here. My one strong criticism would be the way translators are ranked in search results: the rankings are mainly based on the level of participation to their terminology Q&A page for translators (called KudoZ), which is not fair, or representative of the translator's skills/experience. But, if you're a real, talented translator (not someone who think they can translate because they are vaguely bilingual), and if you have a bit of common sense and business sense, ProZ is a great place to start.

Anna Verbuk has been translating from English to Russian in support of MAPS: the Marine Arctic Peace Sanctuary being established as quickly as possible. Her work has been exemplary, and we are grateful to have found her!
