Hi,
One of the benefits of Upwork Plus is the "Featured Job" post. According to this https://community.upwork.com/t5/Announcements/Introducing-Upwork-Plus-for-Clients/td-p/567998 : " ...freelancers and agencies who receive a reduced service fee if awarded the job".
If I understood this correctly if I hire someone from a "Featured Job" their service fee will be reduced.
My question is by how much is their service fee reduced?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

Only for Top Rated Freelancers and Top Rated Plus:
It goes from 20% to 10% for the first $500 the freelancer makes from you. Then it continues to be 10% until the freelancer makes $10,000 through the relationship with you. Afterwards its 5%.
As a freelancer I find the featured posts more attractive and am available to provide a cheaper rate if asked.
If you decide to hire a non top rated freelancer, the freelancer will still be charged 20% for the first $500 earned.

Hi Jezy,
That is correct! Top Rated and Rising Talent freelancers are charged a reduced fee on Featured Jobs. Freelancers are charged a fee based on their lifetime billings with a single client since their first job with them on Upwork, starting at 20%. However, on Featured Jobs, they are charged 10% since the beginning of the relationship. You can learn more about Freelancer Service Fees here.
Thanks!

Well, that sounds like a win-win situation to me. Definitely worth upgrading to Plus.
