I asked in August 2025 to unsubscribe and complained here in September here that I was being charged and couldn't cancel. Now I don't get charged anymore, but I still get the spam sent to me. Very disappointed

Hello Mr. Du Plooy,

thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We sincerely apologize that the Smart Agent continued to be sent to you; this was an error on our part.

The agent operated separately from your membership, which is why it remained active even after the cancellation and the refund.

We have permanently deactivated it and also disabled all other notifications for you.

We would be delighted if you chose to use our service again in the future. Our customer service team is always available to assist you.

Projects are almost all fake/ghosting

Projects are almost all fake/ghosting. This is a huge problem with this platform.

The web interface is beautiful, well designed, but you are sending lots of your precious data, CVs into black holes.

The advertised projects look legit, but in my attempt to contact any of them, I never received any response whatsoever.

I contacted customer service about the Ghosting problem, and they just dismissed it as a general problem in the industry.

While this might be true or not, the platform itself does nothing to prevent ghosting and it really does not help Freelancers find projects.

Quite the contrary, it exposes Freelancers to the dangers of data hoarding recruiters and scammers.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

However, we find it difficult to relate to the experience you described. Ghosting is indeed a real problem – also on our platform. However, the majority of the providers represented here are reputable and verified. Our freelancers' experiences confirm this. We consistently follow up on reports of ghosting and do everything we can to minimize this phenomenon. If you have specific details, please feel free to send them to our support team at support@freelancermap.de, and we will look into the matter.

We regret that you no longer wish to use our platform, but we would still be happy to welcome you back in the future.

Excellent Platform for Freelance Opportunities

I had a very positive experience using Freelancermap. The platform is user-friendly, easy to navigate, and offers a wide range of freelance opportunities across different industries. The job listings are relevant and regularly updated, making it easier to find suitable projects.

Highly recommended for both freelancers and employers.

Subscription trap

Don’t waste your time. The business model of this platform is a subscription trap. The cancellation button is hidden and completely non-obvious. I’m honestly wondering how this is even legal in Germany. Customer service just blames the user for "not reading the agreement properly" — but that is exactly their business model, because they know nobody will.

Dear Anton,

thank you very much for your review.

We are surprised that you say it is difficult to cancel your membership, as you cancelled it yourself. You can cancel your membership easily via the subscription management section, or simply by sending a quick email to support.

Ensuring you have a smooth experience using the platform is just as important to us as finding a solution. We regret that you do not wish to accept our goodwill offer. We are ready to continue with this. Please feel free to get in touch with us again!

Thank you for taking the time to review us. We would like to clarify that our cancellation process is very simple and can be done in several ways. We are generally very flexible regarding payment and cancellation deadlines. We would be happy if you would contact our customer service at support@freelancermap.de. We are confident that we can find a solution that is beneficial for both parties.

Good but the concept should be renewed

It's a good platform, but I see no innovativative approach on how connecting manpower with comanies could be done effectively today. The whole idea of how a candidate presents himself should be questioned. Exposing every detail, providing your CV may not be the way today. Recruiters anyhow have no idea about what engineers really do.

Thank you for taking the time to rate us. Our customer service team is always available for suggestions and feedback. Unfortunately, we too are affected by the ongoing trend of companies largely acquiring freelancers through recruitment agencies. We hope you will be able to acquire many successful projects with Freelancermap. We are also happy to speak with you personally by phone or video call.

Subscription model going too far

The subscription model is a plague in general. But at least some platforms have the decency to inform you before they charge you.

Freelancermap chooses to catch you out of the blue, and during the Christmas holidays so you won't notice it. Pretty sleazy and sneaky tactic.

You would expect some basic decency.

UPDATE: They did kindly refund me, so hats to them for that. But this is still an issue that needs to be fixed from their part. It's ridiculous expecting the customer to remember 12 months later that there's a subscription. An email should be sent like 1-2 weeks before the charge.. like most decent web services do.

Dear Mr Sefaridis,
please note that we inform our customers fully when they sign up for a subscription that our memberships are automatically renewed. In addition, all customers will find a permanent notice about this in their dashboard. Nevertheless, we have kindly terminated your membership and issued a refund.
We would be happy if you would reconsider your review.

They’ll Send You to Debt Collection Over a Service You Don’t Even Use

I thought I signed up for a reputable platform with Freelancermap, but apparently, it's a trap you never fully escape from. I hadn’t used their services for a year—yes, a full year—and suddenly I’m receiving emails from a debt collection agency because my “premium plan” wasn’t canceled properly. You’d think that if a credit card isn’t active, the logical thing would be to just suspend the account or cancel the premium service and transfer the user back to a free membership, right? Wrong.

Instead of reaching out with a simple “Hey, looks like you’re no longer interested in our service,” or terminating my account like any reasonable business would, Freelancermap prefers to bypass such courtesies and escalate things directly to a debt collection agency. I guess that’s how they keep their books balanced—through scare tactics and shady business practices.

Lesson learned: You’re apparently a permanent customer, even if you’re not using their platform at all. Freelancermap, consider treating your users like people, not just recurring payment machines. Or better yet, learn how to cancel a membership when a payment fails—it’s not that complicated.

I sincerely hope these few euros you squeezed out of me are worth a permanent record on the internet about how you scam people.

Hello Vytenis Jakubauskas,

we regret your view of the situation. The accusation of scam is harsh and incomprehensible to us.

Yes, by registering and opting for a paid membership, you have signed up to a reputable platform.

According to our terms and conditions, we are contractually obliged to make the selected service available to you until your cancellation.

If a payment method expires or no payment is received, we will inform our users in good time. Before the claim is transferred to a dept collection agency, approx. 8 weeks will pass and at least 5 notices will be sent to the customer during this period.

In our view, this is a more than fair and standard procedure.

Please contact us by email at support@freelancermap.de, stating your customer number (there is no customer account with your name). We will be happy to check your individual case and get in touch with you.

Kind regards
