While Upwork relies on open global pools, RemoteGenies is powered exclusively by 100% Filipino talent, chosen for their skill, work ethic, and accountability.
Feature / Platform
RemoteGenies
Upwork
Pre-vetted freelancers
All Genies are screened, tested, and approved before joining.
Anyone can sign up. Clients must manually filter and vet applicants.
Filipino talent focus
100% Filipino talent, valued for reliability, English fluency, and work ethic.
Global pool with mixed standards and no cultural focus.
Task bidding system
Client gets top 5 matched Genies; others may bid if relevant.
Open bidding. Dozens (or hundreds) of proposals to sort through.
Dedicated project coordinator
Included at no extra cost—every task has a coordinator ensuring deadlines and quality.
No coordinator. You must manage it yourself or hire a PM separately, which adds extra cost.
AI-assisted matching
Tasks are instantly paired with suitable Genies through matching tech.
Basic search and recommendation tools; no curated matching.
Accountability & quality control
Built-in coordinator oversight keeps tasks on track.
Oversight is entirely on the client, unless you pay for added management.
