Which platform will cater to your needs and let you cash out your skills more? Let\u2019s compare them and get you a reliable companion for your freelance journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Reviews \u2013 Useme vs. Ruul<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social proof is reflected by the number of committed users, but more importantly \u2013 by testimonials, they share to guide other freelancers. Ruul\u2019s nearly 400 reviews add up to a rating of 4.7 stars on Trustpilot, <\/span><b>whereas Useme scored 4.6 Trustpilot stars with an impressive number of more than 1000 reviews<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Freelancer community in Ruul and Useme<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one will give you a better hint than your fellow professionals. Where to look for those hints? Compare the number of freelancers that used each platform. Ruul declares more than 75k freelance users, while <\/span><b>Useme has inspired the trust of almost 170k freelancers! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the reasons for such popularity is its firm position on the market \u2013 the platform has been pushing freelance careers forward for a decade.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ruul vs. Useme \u2013 Payment methods<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to international clients, a chosen payment method impacts the overall cost of the transaction. They\u2019re born not only by the client (because they pay for work) but also by the freelancer (because of the currency exchange and service fee). With two different currencies, online payments from one traditional bank account to another will usually be the least profitable option. Luckily, both platforms offer other solutions as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ruul offers financial transactions to a bank, PayPal, or Binance account. <\/span><b>Useme lets you receive payments via traditional bank transfers or choose between three handy alternatives: PayPal, Wise, and Payoneer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you\u2019re looking for a service for freelancers with competitive pricing, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/wise-vs-paypal-international-transfers-freelancers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consider Wise<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They use a mid-market exchange rate without any markups and tiny conversion fees. They\u2019re particularly transparent about their commissions and payment processing fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PayPal, however, provides you with an e-wallet used by freelancers who prefer having a separate space for their freelancing money. You can use it as a payment gateway in many online stores without transferring the money from PayPal to your bank account.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Payment collection time<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The overall time from initiating a settlement through the platform to payment collection differs from case to case. It depends on how fast your client reacts, what payment method you choose, or how long banks process the payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Useme declares that 80% of withdrawals pump up freelancers\u2019 wallets in 24 hours, no matter the currency<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Fast and easy payment collection is crucial for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/blog\/cash-flow-management-for-freelancers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">smooth financial management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. On Ruul, payouts come to freelancers&#8217; wallets within 24 hours for their local currency, up to 3 days for foreign currencies, or instantly for cryptocurrencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Customer support<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newbies sometimes might feel intimidated by financial services for freelancers, but they\u2019re never left behind! Both platforms offer customer service that helps freelancers settle their first deal and generate an invoice without a company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Useme and Ruul have <\/span><b>three ways of contacting a designated specialist: a contact form, helpline, and chat.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You\u2019ll find them on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/contact\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact pages<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, listed in the footers. Moreover, they provide exhaustive repositories of the most common user issues, called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/help.useme.eu\/hc\/en-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Useme and Support in Ruul.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Useme also informs you when you can reach them by phone and when they write back for messages. A professional and considerate team answers all questions as soon as possible from Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm (UTC+2). Reliability and proactivity of the customer service in Useme are also reflected in Trustpilot reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Service fees<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both platforms offer a free account for freelancers \u2013<\/span><b> there\u2019s no setup fee and no monthly subscription costs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A service fee applies to each transaction, i.e., each deal settled through the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ruul offers relatively low rates, but only if both parties live in the US and the payment\u2019s currency is USD \u2013 then 2.75% of the invoice amount is deducted. However, any other country or currency implies a much bigger cut. For example, a transaction in euros between a client from Serbia and a freelancer from Spain will cost one of them 5% of the invoice amount.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Useme, you don\u2019t need to do the math every time you change the client. The flat service fee is always 4.99% or 0%. When your service fees hit a total of $99 in a month, that\u2019s it \u2013 you\u2019ll send each subsequent invoice with zero service fee until the end of that month. To check your payout, use our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/useme.com\/en\/pricing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">calculator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 there are no hidden fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Useme_for_ambitious_freelancers_%E2%80%93_extra_features\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Useme for ambitious freelancers \u2013 extra features<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Services offered by Useme and Ruul overlap to some extent. They both come in handy when it comes to invoicing without a company. However, <\/span><b>Useme stands out as an all-in-one platform, providing far more functionalities and possibilities for career growth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Marketplace<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imagine having access to thousands of job offers from clients who look for freelancers with your skills and interests. Moreover, you\u2019ll invoice these clients without any red tape, no matter what country they\u2019re from, and expand your online freelance business\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s possible with Useme Marketplace! Thanks to that, <\/span><b>Useme is a mix of invoicing tools, such as Ruul, and marketplaces for freelancers, such as Fiverr<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
