My Honest Review of Workzilla: Is the Paid Subscription Worth It?

I've tried my hand at various freelance platforms, mostly article job boards. One platform that caught my eye was Workzilla, which I stumbled upon during my maternity leave. I worked there for a bit, earning around $10-$15 per hour, and the paid subscription was a steal at $7-$8 per month. I'll share my experience working on Workzilla in 2025 and whether the paid subscription is worth it.

Fast forward to 2025, the subscription now costs $18 per month for two months. I decided to give it a shot because without a subscription, you can only access tasks like leaving reviews on Yandex Maps or Avito, or doing weird tasks like delivering 10-20-30 packages. The feed would constantly have tasks available with a subscription that looked really appealing – transcription, writing articles, websites, and more for a decent sum. At first, I was skeptical because the tasks seemed to be the same as they were a few years ago. I thought maybe the clients were the same, giving out the same tasks. I calmed myself down with that thought and decided to pay for the subscription.

It turned out that the tasks available on the main page without a subscription are actually non-existent. Instead, you get a bunch of other tasks, but they're not as good. Half of them are about transferring passes from T-Bank or becoming a referral for Alfa Bank, and there are still tasks to leave reviews. There's a filter for searching, but the clients aren't stupid and find ways to bypass it.

I still managed to snag a few good orders amidst the sea of useless tasks. Among the bunch of pointless tasks, you can find tasks like 'create a presentation,' 'edit a list of literature,' 'do a homework assignment,' and so on. These tasks helped me earn a decent amount – $50, $80, and $100 – and even got me a rating, a portfolio start, and some real money. If you take on a $200 task, the subscription will pay for itself right away. Unfortunately, newbies have a hard time getting such tasks.

Workzilla earningsreal earnings on WorkzillaIn 2018, when I first tried making money on Workzilla, there were plenty of rewrite tasks. I wrote fortune tellers and explanations for divination. It was fun – I don't believe in it, but it was entertaining to come up with my own meanings. Over time, rewrites got boring, even with a regular client. I hit my 'stop signal' – when something became too easy, I lost interest. This is why I eventually stopped using Workzilla.

Now, with AI and neural networks, rewrite tasks have almost disappeared. Transcription tasks, drawing logos and characters, and other tasks are also gone. You have to search for the 'jewel' – a good task – among the trash. But it's even more important to get chosen as the performer.

I'd have 5-7 tasks hanging around for a week, just existing to fill up Workzilla's content. Then, they'd just get sent to the history.

I'll be honest, I'm still not sure what factors besides the withdrawal limit and commission rate affect an executor's rating. I'm already at level 4, and the only changes I've seen are an increase in the withdrawal limit from $1,000 to $3,000 and an increase in commission. I think commission is more dependent on the total earned amount, but something's already less appealing about working there.

withdrawing money from workzillaFor a $1,000 task, the commission to complete it is 10%, leaving $900 on my account - and initially, it was 5% for withdrawal, but recently it's been 15%. So, am I paying the platform 25% commission? That's ridiculous! Now, even with $1,000, I only get $720 on my account.I was offered to take a test that would help increase my rating. It's taken in Telegram, automatically, without any human interaction. The questions were weird, and some were obviously for dimwits.

After these, there's a task on knowing Workzilla's rules and working in Google Docs. Apparently, since I didn't get a notification, I didn't pass this test.

I also couldn't verify my self-employment status, which I set up recently. It didn't get confirmed, and I won't be able to check my status again for 3 months. This is needed to increase the withdrawal limits and get a 5% commission back. For now, they're asking me to pay 25% commission on the original amount.

Unreasonable clients are rare. I had to do one revision, but the girl politely mentioned it. If I see passive-aggressive language in the task description, I don't engage with that client. You can find regular clients here. For example, in 2018 (the time before the popularity of neural networks), I found a regular client who needed me to write fortune-telling texts and explanations for divination. In 2025, I found a regular client who needs help populating their personal account with products.

I've tried checking out the Jobs section, and there's always something interesting there. One time, I even applied for a gig writing academic papers – and it turned out that the site 'Zaochnik' was looking for contributors. Their prices are lower than Workzilla's, by the way. I'll have to try again sometime, as the jobs are available without a paid subscription.

They pay out money to your bank card or Yandex Money within three daysThere's an Arbitration system in case of disputes, but I've never had to use itI asked clients to create custom tasks for me, which made me feel more secure about getting workThe tasks are diverse, not just writing student papersYou can find a regular clientThe 'Jobs' section is always available, and you can find work there\xa0

The subscription is pricey – around 1000 rubles a month and 1400 for two monthsThe tasks aren't always as great as the ones that pop up in your feed when you don't have a subscriptionTasks can linger for ages after you agree to them – it's unclear how many people applied, and whether you have a shot at getting the jobIt's unclear how they choose the best fit for the jobThere's some sort of hidden rating system, as mentioned in the Telegram botThe filter doesn't work too well – to avoid annoying clients, they just don't include certain words in the task title, but you still see the task and have to deal with itGood tasks get snatched up quickly, so you need to be on your toes to grab one before it's gone\xa0

All in all, this is a decent site with varied tasks. At first, I regretted spending money on the subscription, but later I made it back and then some. You just need to wait for them to choose you, and don't be shy about asking for feedback to boost your rating – I'm still not entirely sure how it works, but it does seem to matter. You can earn money and withdraw it right away, albeit with some commission.
