About Upwork

Upwork helps businesses hire skilled workers from around the world. People use the platform to find flexible jobs and grow. The site manages hiring, work tracking, and secure payments.

Marketplace and Management Tools

Marketplace: Online platform connecting businesses with freelancers across 130 work categories; generates revenue through service fees and advertisements.
Enterprise Solutions: Workforce management tools for large organizations under the Lifted brand; provides sourcing, compliance, and payment infrastructure.
Managed Services: End-to-end project delivery where the company takes responsibility for work outcomes for corporate clients.
Upwork Payroll: Service that allows businesses to hire independent talent as employees through third-party staffing providers.

Strategic Shifts and New Brands

Launched the enterprise-focused subsidiary Lifted in August 2025 to serve large corporate clients.
Acquired Bubty B.V. and Ascen Inc. to expand workforce management and payment capabilities for enterprise customers.
Announced a restructuring plan in October 2024 to realign business strategies and improve operational efficiency.
Changed the company name to Upwork in May 2015 after operating as Elance-oDesk.

How the Platform Stands Out

Upwork leverages a database of millions of transactions to power Uma, a proprietary artificial intelligence assistant that matches talent with project needs. The platform operates in over 180 countries and managed 4 billion dollars in total transaction value during 2025.

Performance by the Numbers

Free cash flow grew to 63.2 million dollars in Q4 2025, up 1267.8% year-over-year.
Operating income reached 28.3 million dollars in Q4 2025, an increase of 108.3% from Q4 2024.
Revenue reached 198.4 million dollars in Q4 2025, up 3.6% from the previous year.
Operating cash flow hit 63.7 million dollars in Q4 2025, an improvement of 650.4% from Q4 2024.

Bottom Line

Upwork has transitioned from a general freelancer site into a comprehensive workforce platform serving both startups and major corporations. Its focus on artificial intelligence and specialized enterprise services helps it adapt to changing global labor trends.
