Elance Vs getafreelancer Vs scriptlance

As this thread's subject suggest, I am looking for comparison between Elance Vs getafreelancer Vs scriptlance and various others similar portals..

Please give me your reviews or tell me where I can get their reviews.

They're all crap unless your happy working for $5 an hour. People that post projects on these sites arent looking for professionals, they're looking for cheap labour. I dont use these sites because i value my skills.

Can you let me know where can I get professionals? Are you also a programmer?

Agreed. Price wins. Quality and service is redundant.

Google? They'll undoubtedly be plenty here, and you can even see their posts to see the information they've handed out to determine for yourself.

Just search for web design companies, as they'll be able to do what you want. Remember: companies are guided by guarantees. I'm not saying every company you contact will be perfect - from far it, as I'm aware through the amount of people who contact me after being screwed over by their web design company - but your odds of finding a better service are generally increased if you use common sense when looking at their work and references.

Can you specify your need, do you need service from those freelencer site or you are going to offer your service there or need one account for two activities.

the most ****ty one is scriptlance

RentACoder - review from Top Coder

Be ready for bad responses from programmers from too expensive areas. They can't compete on these portals, but post disparagement info. See "People that post projects on these sites arent looking for professionals" below.

Hi.
I'm working through Elance. Project prices not too high, but my hourly rate $10/hour, so it's quite good for me. Rent a coder - ridiculous prices and a lot of newbies without any skills and knowledge. and I haven't tried with getafreelancer or scriptlance before - they offer payment through paypal but I can't use it.
Thank you.

Elance is not Free..right?
in the most basic version, i could see that $30 monthly, it allows for only 3 bids by a programmer.. is it so?
I did not understand that.. Can u help me what are the benefits of elance?

I've developed something simplier than all of those. Its much faster, more reliable, and easier. If you use any of those take a look at CoderCC and tell me what you think. You can post your project right off that page rather than signing up, and doing 1000 other things first, just post your project as simple as that.

CMSCoder.com is the best!

I use that and rentacoder.com and cmscoder.com for all my projects, I have used getafreelancer, it simple but it's not as safe as rentacoder.

I like rentacoder's escrow service and arbitration.

just my .02

About a year ago I posted a job at scriptlance. I got about four or five offers to do it for ~500 $US. I posted "WTF- this can be done for $10" and I had someone within two hours that was willing to do it for that price. The job was to parse IPTC data from recursive folders on a win XP machine, and save the data to a text file.

I don't remember excatly where the problem started, but the guy reminded me of all the mathematician jokes whereby he meets all the criterion that you asked for, but gets nothing done! Asking him to correct it was asking him to change the terms of the agreement- and it got ugly. In the end he wasted probably 2 hours coding for me and I wasted 20 emails. I believe that this is standard practice- give you something that DOESNT work, so that it will need fixing, which is expensive. At least, Microsoft does it this way too (Otherwise you would not need to shell out $$ for antivirus software, that _fixes_ a flaw in the OS).

Find a reputable programmer here, and pay him what he's worth. It will cost you less in the end. Or better yet, _try_ to do it yourself in php or some other simple language. Depends on what you need to get done. And if you get stuck, you can always ask for help here.

What i do is... if a buyer needs/wants something.. i give him/her my price quote..... i do come high abit... but thats because im a fair man..... once i get the project done.. some of them come back to me.. askikng if i can fix little nick nack stuff.. so.... ya.. i fix it.. and i dont charge them for it.... not unless i know its going to be a headache.. other then that.. i dont charge.

There are plenty of talented developers on the devshed forums who would be far better choices than anyone you'll ever find on those on the cheap script sites. Real programmers avoid them because real programmers know you can't get an ecommerce site from scratch for $1000.

www.artlogic.com - I work full time as a contractor for them, and I can assure you, you get what you pay for. You won't be hiring some kids looking for spare change and you won't be hiring assembly-line-trained java "gurus".

Of course, you're hiring an actual company with them, not an individual. But to get hired by the company you have to go through a pretty strenuous application/test/interview process, so you're hiring the best available.
