Hi, this is Nicole from Rent a Coder.
I’d like to point out a few differences between our service and services like Freelancer since those differences could influence your satisfaction and earnings.
Guarantee of Payment:
Freelancer doesn’t allow you to verify your time by punching in and out of a real-time system, and cannot conclusively prove to the buyer that you were working. As a result they do not guarantee payment, and if the buyer does not wish to pay you, you may end up with no money.
Rent a Coder allows you to verify your time spent on a project by punching in and out of a real-time card application which records your desktop and webcam. The end result is indisputable proof that you’ve worked and deserve payment.
Bid Limit:
Workers on Freelancer cannot place more than 30 bids a month unless they pay a subscription fee (which also reduces their commission fee from 10% to 3%). With limited opportunities, you may not be successful with a service that limits your ability to bid.
Rent a Coder offers free and unlimited bidding without subscription fees or any other types of hidden fees.
Arbitration:
Freelancer limits arbitration to projects with milestone payments of more than $30. And its mandatory pre-arbitration processes allow an abusive buyer to stall the start of arbitration (and prevent you from accessing your money) for weeks.
At Rentacoder, we offer arbitration on all projects free of charge and we test your deliverables to make sure they meet requirements so that you can get paid. We also prevent abusive buyers from stalling the start of arbitration. As a result, 45% of our arbitrations are completed under a day. 75% under a week. We additionally publicize the detailed rules of how our arbitrators make their decisions.
There are other differences as well. I invite everyone to compare the 7 major services through this link to learn even more: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/DotNet/misc/CompetitorInformation/WhyRentACoder_ForSellers.aspx
If you have any questions, please let me know. You can also call in to talk to a facilitator 7 days a week, or email us (see http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/Feedback.asp ).

Hi Nicole,
Thanks for stopping by. I agree with you regarding RentACoder’s features you have mentioned here. Especially I love RentACoder’s free unlimited bidding facility and superb arbitration process. RentACoder’s arbitration is indeed quicker and efficient compared to other job boards.
It’s an age old and respectable freelance job board matured in business processes. May be because of the age, pages sometimes do show some glitches though. For example, I could never successfully complete signing up for an affiliate account from within my coder account. Although I did not contact RAC support for this particular issue yet, but I know, RAC support is always responsive and quick.
The post above was to acknowledge the presence of freelancer.com’s vibrant and growing community like RACs and others. Nevertheless, your comment will definitely help both the freelancers and buyer to know more about RAC and also in making informed decision.
Regards,
iLC

I couldn’t help but notice that Nicole from Rent A Coder (vWorker as it is now called) failed to mention a major flaw in their system. So, please allow me to do so…
Nicole says that you can call in and talk to a facilitator 7 days a week… I have to disagree. I have tried to call in numerous times and not been able to reach anyone.
Additionally, if you decide to work through vWorker (Rent A Coder’s new name), don’t be in a hurry to get paid. Their pay periods end on the 15th and the end of the month and then they have 7 days to get your money to you. So, lets say you finish a project on the 1st of the month. That project will go on the pay period ending the 15th. And then it very well may be the 22nd before you get paid. So, almost a month has passed since you finished the project.
Additionally, when getting paid, even though vWorker has already charged you 15% of the amount that you bid on the project, they still will charge you 2.00 more to process the money for you.
During these possible 21 days, where has your money been? My guess would be in vWorker’s bank account drawing interest that you will never see.
