Upmatch Arvostelua 40

My experience with this company has been deeply disappointing and far from what they advertise. They present themselves as an organization dedicated to supporting all freelancers, but in my case, that commitment was not upheld.
After struggling to get assistance through regular channels, I initially left a negative review. Only then did I receive a call from Ali, the owner, who assured me—at length—that he would personally help me and my business. He asked that I delete the original review, promising follow-up and genuine support. In good faith, I agreed and took the review down, trusting that his word would be honored.
Unfortunately, I never heard from him again. This pattern suggests that their priority lies in managing their public image rather than delivering on their stated mission.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company. Their actions demonstrated self-interest over client support, and I would caution other freelancers to proceed with great care before engaging their services.

I was sold on UpMatch by a very skilled salesperson who genuinely made me feel like I was doing something bold and necessary for my family. He even encouraged me to make the decision without checking with my wife — not in a manipulative way, but in a “you’re stepping up as a provider” kind of way. And honestly, that got me. I’m not someone who makes rash decisions, but I’d been circling programs like this for years and finally pulled the trigger.

Unfortunately, it didn’t work out.

Despite the confident claims — like earning $1,000 per job and landing 5 clients a month — I got 5 leads total and made about $200 after spending $600 with UpMatch and another $600+ on Upwork connects (which are not included, by the way). The return on investment just wasn’t there.

The “system” is basically:

Make a Loom video introducing yourself.

Have someone apply to jobs for you daily.

That’s it. There’s very little strategic feedback or real coaching. The projects they applied me to often didn’t match my strengths (I don’t even offer graphic design, yet many connects went there).

I want to be fair: I do believe some people are having success, and I can also see how a more established agency might make this work. But if you’re a solo freelancer just starting or hoping this will jumpstart your business, I’d caution you to be extremely clear on the fine print.

Also — you can negotiate on price. There's definitely room in the pitch for closing tactics.

I don’t regret taking a chance, but I do regret that the marketing made it seem like this was a high-probability investment. I think if the company truly believed in the process, they’d offer a real guarantee to all participants — not just larger agencies.

Update: After posting this review, the owner of UpMatch, Ali, personally reached out to me. He took time to talk through everything in detail and really listened to my concerns. He’s helping rework my profile and strategy, and I can tell he genuinely wants his clients to succeed. Ali is clearly trying to build something meaningful, and his personal outreach speaks volumes. I’ll update this again down the line based on how things go from here. For now, I do appreciate the renewed effort and accountability.

UpMatch really helped to get my first client on Upwork. After trying myself with no success I bit the bullet and thought it’s worth a shot. Straight away I received documents and guides on what the next steps are which showed me straight away how far off I was trying to do it by myself and no support. They have streamlined the process making it so now all I have to do is attend prospective meetings. Looking forward to a long last partnership

Ali's advice and tips have been quite useful to me for starting my business on Upwork. I appreciated his abilities to listen to my concerns and intentions and actions to deliver suggestions and solutions.

Upmatch has been a pivotal part of our journey on Upwork, which given the surge in AI LLM model demand, is crazy to think as we are still getting started here. But no, this is the reality.

With more businesses seeking Prompt Engineers, the competition is fierce. Most AI freelancers are at an intermediate level which is good but truly sophisticated projects demand a higher level of technical expertise.

Thanks to Upmatch we have been able to stand out from the crowd. Even though we are new to the platform, we are already seeing tremendous results. Traffic to our profile has increased significantly just within a couple of days. This is not a fluke. It is the direct result of the strategic approach and the gifted leadership of Ali, the owner of Upmatch.

Ali is a true entrepreneur and his dedication helps businesses like ours thrive by providing a platform that you won't find elsewhere. His expertise and vision are clear and I have no doubt that Upmatch will continue to revolutionize how businesses connect and grow on platforms like Upwork, opening doors to opportunities that don't exist otherwise.

Upmatch have provided me with guidance on how to approach prospect clients through the use of Loom videos as well as a personalised approach that helps me convey the services that my business offers.

They are aiding me in generating leads which is what I need to launch my business.

UpMatch is a beautifully designed and easy-to-use platform that truly understands the needs of freelancers and service providers. I used it to promote my website development services and was impressed by how streamlined the process was — from setting up my offering to navigating potential opportunities.

Effective and unique strategy. It saves you time and lots of pain because upwork can be very tedious and hard to find success. Recommended for people who want to level up and find more clients.

there service is very unprofessional. After booking a call, they spam you on WhatsApp. Then called to demand i answer certain questions or the call would be canceled. When I expressed that calling someone in a Saturday without an appointment was unprofessional they justified it by saying we work monday through Saturday. To be forced into a conversation on father's day weekend is unacceptable and highly unprofessional.

Working with Upmatch has been a game-changer for lead generation. Their system is dialed in, and their team is professional, responsive, and truly invested in your success. The more you communicate and apply their advice, the better your results. It took a little time to gain traction especially with a new Upwork profile, but they guided me through every step and I was able to land projects within my first month of working with them. Well worth the investment in a proven system that works!

Generated good quality leads for my business and really helped me cut time in applying for proposals each week.
The whole team were professional and friendly throughout and I was always kept in the loop of what was going on.
Highly recommend if you are new starting to freelance or if you are expanding!

As someone balancing the demands of a startup while maintaining freelance work, I found the time investment required for Upwork bidding unsustainable until I discovered UpMatch.

What I value most about their service is the efficiency. They've eliminated hours from my weekly schedule that were previously dedicated to searching for appropriate projects, developing proposals, and most importantly doing so at a scale that would actually get results on Upwork.

For professionals managing agencies or supplementary freelance work who need to increase contract acquisition without compromising their primary business focus, I couldn't recommend UpMatch enough, they really made a difference for me.

qualified leads, more booked calls, fast communication,

Really smooth process getting onboarded with Upmatch's team.

Upmatch have been a massive help getting my business off the ground. We struggled to get clients consistent clients and retain clients before we started working with Upmatch.

We have been able to scale our business and double our monthly revenue in a matter of weeks.

Would highly recommend Ali and his team if you are looking to make more money and scale your agency!

Before working with UpMatch.io, my biggest bottleneck was getting clients. I run a marketing agency and had tried using Upwork on my own, but I saw very little success—barely any responses, let alone booked calls.

That completely changed once I started working with Ali & Fawad. The experience has been nothing short of amazing. I’m now getting 20-30 meetings per month, tons of responses to my bids, and I’m signing clients consistently every month.

Their communication is top-notch—we stay connected on Slack, and they’re always available to answer my questions. They’ve also provided invaluable support with optimizing my Upwork profile, which has helped me stand out and land more opportunities.

If you’re serious about growing your freelance career or agency, I HIGHLY recommend these guys. They’ve made a massive impact on my business, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

UpMatch has been a huge help in getting my agency off the ground with more projects coming in through Upwork. They helped me optimize my profile to attract better contracts and gave me solid sales tips that have really improved my close rate.

What I appreciate most is how much time I’m saving. Their process is efficient, and they clearly have a smart strategy when it comes to winning contracts. It’s been a great partnership, and I’d recommend them to any freelancer or agency owner looking to grow faster and work smarter.

We got our biggest client thanks to Upmatch, it’s all done for you, all we had to worry about is the sales call and service delivery. Highly recommend!

Working with UpMatch has been a Game-Changer for me.

The time and headspace I save make it incredibly valuable to me. But the big win is that I actually booked enough new clients in the first month for it to be profitable.

The advice and insights into profile setup etc have also made big changes to the momentum of my account. Since working with UpMatch and making the changes that Ali guided me through there has been a big increase in inbound inquiries.
