CrowdFlower Review

PROS: I love how I can open this on just about any PTC program that I want.

CONS: Sometimes, it does not work very well with the PTC of my choice, especially when the task I have chosen requires me to answer a poll or survey. I somehow get booted out of the program and I'd have to re-open it.

PROS: If you want a little variety in your working life, then you won’t go wrong with this platform. I use this as a means for extra income, and I’ve been enjoying using this so far. Not only does it enrich, excite, and challenge me regularly, but it’s also nice to think about the companies that I’m helping by lending them my skills. There’s plenty of room for growth here too. As long as you put in the hard work, you can level up quickly. You can take on as many jobs as you want. You can dictate the volume of work that you take on.

CONS: The problem with tools such as Figure Eight is that it does not have much competition. Because they monopolize this playing field, they have set really low rates for the jobs that they offer. As freelancers, this doesn’t leave us with much choice but to comply because we have no other platform to work with. I’ve noticed that the site crashes intermittently as well.

PROS: If you're looking for an easy, low-commitment way to make some extra money, then you should try using Figure Eight. They always pay on time and they're pretty fair with the prices for each task. I love how I have the option to earn more if I access this platform from my own page. However, to those who prefer to open this on their preferred PTC page, they can easily do so too. Of course, even if the tasks are not very difficult to complete, there is still a percentage level that you have to get correctly for you to earn your income. Everyone looking for extra money should check this out.

CONS: The sound from their platform is not always smooth. This makes it difficult to carry out certain jobs.

PROS: There is so much freedom given to me by Figure Eight. It’s nice to know that I have a fallback whenever I’m a little short on cash. All I have to do is to perform tasks here to earn extra. I don’t have to answer to anyone and I still own my time.

CONS: My only issue with Figure Eight is that they don’t seem to regulate the rates. Some tasks are hard to complete but are tagged at ridiculously low rates. Other than this issue, everything else works fine though.

PROS: Figure Eight is a straightforward platform. Through it, I can see a list of tasks that I can work on. There are also levels that I can unlock to get to the better, higher-paying jobs.

CONS: It does take quite some time for my work statistics to update. This means that it takes longer for me to move from one level to a higher one too. Other than this lapse, I have no other complaints.

PROS: First of all, I think that this platform can be bigger than it is now. It is useful for both the company that hires freelancers to test out their initiatives and the freelancers themselves. This way, the companies can solicit for the opinion of people outside of their workforce. The freelancers, on the other hand, can earn extra income. It's a win-win situation. The platform itself is quite impressive too. There's nothing quite like it and I'm just glad that the lack of competition has not made them greedy and take an unfair percentage or cut from the income we make as freelancers.

CONS: The only "con" that I can see from my end is that Figure Eight does not seem to have a competition in the playing field. I bet that there's so much temptation for them to act unfairly towards their clients and the working sector (us). If it weren't for the integrity that this company upholds, I'm pretty sure that this platform would now be littered with really low rates and sub-par quality of tasks. Yet, it continues to improve and I'm really grateful for it.

PROS: This is a secure platform for me to perform tasks on. It’s very user-friendly and one can easily see the line-up of tasks available for grab. Completing and meeting deadlines has not been a problem for me.

CONS: Nothing. In fact, I think I quite like working with this platform.

PROS: I love how it gives me freedom to take on as much (or as little) work as I want.

CONS: There are times when I’d get flagged for errors that are beyond my control.

PROS: Figure Eight encourages a no-pressure, no-nonsense working environment. You can easily see the projects you’ve worked on so you get a pretty good gauge at how productive you’ve been. There’s a track record of your accomplished tasks in the past too. Plus, they always pay you fairly. You don’t have to worry about whether you’ll receive payment for the week or not—it’s a guarantee that you will. Whenever you run across issues, you can rely on their support team to assist you right away.

CONS: Sometimes they give me corrections that are unfounded. It also takes them a while to update my statistics or numbers. I hope that they would just set this on auto-update.

PROS: I use this program as a main source of my side hustle. All I have to do is to perform a series of tasks and voila--I can earn money from it! This redefines easy money on so many levels. As long as I put in the time and hard work, there is no ceiling to how much I can earn.

CONS: There was a time when I got locked out of the system for no apparent reason. It was resolved, but I missed a few days of work. It was quite difficult to learn too. I had a rough start and I had to brush up on my skills and put in the hard work just to get to where I am now.

PROS: I love how I can access this on just about any platform. This is a nice, stable source of income for me. I work on tasks here aside from my work at the office, and I've been able to cover part of my bills thanks to it. Using this program makes me feel as if I am my own boss--I am in charge of my time and I don't have to answer to anyone.

CONS: There's probably just one thing about this program that I would change and that is the "leveling" of the tasks. Some tasks should belong to a higher level, and thus should cost higher to be worked on.

PROS: I started using Figure Eight even before it rebranded. This has been very helpful in giving me low-commitment jobs that I can complete on my free time. I love just how varied the jobs available here are. I can choose whatever subject I want to take in and work on them. As I leveled up, the jobs start to get better too. This drives me to improve and find out just how good it can really get.

CONS: There was this one time a few days ago when most users' were suddenly booted out of their accounts. This caused a mild panic among users because we really did think that the program was shutting down. But, as it turned out, it was just a glitch in the system and we were able to remedy this right away. Despite this issue, it's still impressive how quick Figure Eight was able to fix the situation and assure users that everything is going to be fine.

PROS: Figure Eight makes it easy for me to earn money on the side. I've been getting projects from this platform for almost a year now, and things are working pretty well. I can simply choose from a variety of works available. So far, my work has been steady and the instructions for each are very clear. I can't wait until I gather enough experience to reach level 4.

CONS: The first few months working here is always the hardest. It took a lot of hard work just to climb from level 0 to level 1. However, once I got through the first hoop, accelerating to the next step was a lot easier. There was also this one time when there was a glitch in Figure Eight's system and they deactivated a lot of users' accounts. They were quick to remedy the situation, however, so there really was no permanent damage done.
