Toptal Is a Complete Scam – Stay Far Away!

I cannot stress enough how terrible my experience with Toptal was from start to finish. If you’re considering using their service, run in the opposite direction.

First off, their so-called “vetting process” is a complete joke. They claim to have the “top 3%” of freelancers, but what they really have are overpriced, underqualified contractors who are no better than what you’d find on Fiverr or Upwork for a fraction of the price. The developer I was matched with missed deadlines, delivered garbage work, and constantly made excuses. When I asked for a replacement, I was met with delays, empty promises, and terrible customer service.

Speaking of customer service—good luck getting any real help. The support team is unresponsive, arrogant, and completely useless. Instead of addressing my concerns, they pushed back with bureaucratic nonsense and tried to gaslight me into thinking the issues were my fault. They are only interested in taking your money and will do anything to avoid accountability.

And don’t even get me started on billing. They locked me into an overpriced contract and then had the nerve to charge me for hours that weren’t even worked! When I disputed it, they stalled, ignored my emails, and refused to issue a refund. It was the most frustrating, scammy experience I’ve ever had with a company.

Save yourself the headache and stay FAR AWAY from Toptal. There is nothing premium about their service—just premium-level scamming. If you want real talent, go anywhere else. Toptal is a complete disaster, and I regret every dollar I wasted with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Toptal has been a game-changer for me in the world of freelancing. One of the standout features is the seamless financial service they provide. With Toptal, I never have to worry about contracts or deposits before and after projects. This financial security has not only eased my mind but also given me the confidence to focus on what I do best - delivering quality work to my clients.

The exclusivity of the platform and the exceptional user interface and user experience of both the website and the app have been instrumental in my success. Toptal's exclusivity ensures that I'm part of a community of top-tier freelancers, and the user-friendly interface makes applying to projects incredibly easy. It's clear that Toptal values both its clients and freelancers, making the entire process smoother and more efficient.

Lastly, I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the coaches and support staff at Toptal. Their guidance and assistance have been invaluable on my freelancing journey. Toptal is not just a platform; it's a supportive ecosystem that empowers freelancers to excel. Thank you, Toptal! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I must say I'm pleasantly surprised with Toptal after using Upwork unsuccessfully.

Highly recommend dev Vipul Bhardwaj. Right to the point. Your gateway to highly personalized large language model / natural language processing chains, and superpowered development thanks to using LangChain.

They can be your ChatGPT or Claude+ interpreter (or any others). And if you need more than developers they've got you covered there too.

Lots of time to see how it feels and find the right person for the job before you're out of pocket. Really pleasant and easy experience from start to finish.

Cheers to onboarding team Pablo Cardenas and Madison Mascali too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Occasional issues with the UI. They might consider switching video clients to Google Meet or Zoom.

Might be good to have three or more suggested consultants when getting started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Toptal is by far the best freelance platform I have been involved with so far. The support they offer is 10/10, payment is guaranteed, and staff works hard to fill talents with enough work. As a freelancer, Toptal is your best way to focus on actual work rather than searching for clients, ensuring you get paid, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far my experience with Toptal is so good that it is hard to come up with something negative. I am aware that Toptal takes a cut for the services it offers me - therefore clients are paying more for my designs, but that is to be expected - the service that Toptal is giving me for that cut is more than satisfactory.

It's been just one year at Toptal and I've had the chance to work in the comfort of my home with many different clients across the globe, dealing with different cultures and gaining different experiences. It's been a fantastic year with Toptal, and looking for many more upcoming years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think there is the too-bad stuff that can make me dislike Toptal. They are doing great, and they are talent oriented. They always offer their best to have you land your dream jobs and achieve your career goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With Toptal, one can get to work on very exciting projects with minimal effort. From short-term appointments to longer projects, the clients seem to look for highly skilled talents for specialized tasks. So going from one project to another, one can acquire very different skills and improve.

Toptal is the best experience in my career that makes me grow professionally beyond expectations, so I'd recommend it to anyone who likes dynamic and demanding work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None whatsoever, even payments are punctual. Really sorry I can't help with any "suggestions for improvement". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Premium clients, a clean payment schedule and excellent support, is where I feel Toptal excels in the "remote work" fraternity. Apart from that, many other perks like community programs, personal development and learning programs come as an added bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to dislike about. But one thing that I feel Toptal can improve or restart is their Toptal Partner / Agency program to support companies and just individual talents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's the best platform where me as a designer ( ux and ui ) I can showcase my skills in numerous and different projects.

On this platform everything is organised, you have specific people that takes care of you on specific problems on the logistic part. Basically you just need to work and not worry about anything else.

The payment is great, and it can really help you to boost your financial status. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really.

Everything is great. Professional people that will help you to boost your career in every way possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Toptal community has professional career coaches, hiring managers, communities of practice, and different resources and opportunities outside of projects (e.g. learning and development; writing for the blog; volunteering).

There is this great foundation for great experience as freelancer: vetting the clients and freelance professionals, making payments seamless and secure, and even finding the best jobs for you (I never had to search myself, although you of course could). But taking step further, there is this whole value of learning and support within Toptal, and sleek internal tools that improve continuously. And this is what I like best.

Getting in is hard, but I also love that it is a challenge, and if you make it, you can be proud you're in the top ~3% professionals.

If I had to find something I dislike... I would appreciate if the payments were executed a bit faster: both in terms of shorter billing cycles, and the default time until invoices are due. But it is still totally ok as it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
