Unpopular opinion: that opt-out fee for Upwork's Plus plan is actually worth it for me
I know everyone hates the $14.99/month charge, but after getting hit with a $50 service fee on a small job last month because I forgot to swap plans, I actually prefer just paying the flat rate. It keeps my fees predictable and I don't have to worry about remembering to change settings every time. Anyone else find the math works out better this way?

Does the fee ever go up on you unexpectedly though?

Unexpectedly" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, lol.

Mine hasn't gone up at all, it stays the same $14.99 every month. I actually ran the numbers on my last ten jobs and the flat fee saved me about $12 compared to what I would have paid in percentage fees. Made it worth switching for good.
