I like the service but I had problems with the funds.
It's still not clear to me why I funded 200USD, then it appeared 187.5 USDin the workspace, like if I funded just 187.5 USD
Then I wanted to increase the amount and I added a milestone with 150 USD, but the invoiceI received has only 150 USD, nothing about the previous 187.5USD I funded. And the Freelancer received only the 150 USD of the additional milestone, nothing about the initial 200USD (which became 187.5 for reasons unknown to me)

I found a knowledgable, competent chemist that I would not have found otherwise. The relationship management via Kolabtree worked great and provides a good record of the work.

Change of rules
When I started a project on Kolabtree, the chosen editor told me that I will pay 20% more than he will receive and the price was agreed on that. The project was in two parts and that is what happened for the first part. Then without any warning, Kolabtree decided to take an additional 20% on the second part, the editor found himself $150 short of money. I tried to help the editor, the result is that I never received the “IncoiveForClient” for the second part.
Because of Kolabtree, I have found somebody to work with, so the idea is correct. But I won’t trust them any more as I believe they were making up excuses as they go along: their maths was wrong. If you decide to work with them. Just do a small sample then deal direct with the editor. I should have done that. Or deal direct with the editor, they are not difficult to find.

JoVE Pharmacology
JoVE Pharmacology
Recently completed a project for JoVE. They were all fun and easy to work with. Nam Nguyen, Helene Kuhn, and their colleagues in India demonstrated a high level of collaboration. As a freelancer, they all made me feel like I was part of their team.
kolabtree
I heard about kolabtree from a colleague.
It was an excellent experience, having freelancers in research, who can do analysis , help in writing the research.
For sure I will take there support next time if I needed and I will advice my colleagues as well.
Completely broken
The site is broken in almost every way imaginable: widgets don't update right, project flow is anti-obvious, i.e. counter-intuitive as opposed to merely unintuitive, it's very hard to find your way back to a specific project workplace without abusing message lists (which don't auto-mark as read once read... a boon in this case), it's nearly impossible to provide deliverables through the platform due to a mix of awful tooling and absolutely ludicrous restrictions on things like filetypes...
If kolabtree would open a project to fix their website, I would be willing to bid on it ;)
They desperately need help, that much is obvious. The only good thing I have to say is that it seems the clientbase and expertise on the platform is better than e.g. on fiverr or upwork.

No more projects
Title says it all. Kolabtree has completely dried up. Back then, Kolabtree still had a modicum of jobs to take on. Now, there's barely anything on there.
These case studies showed how much better it used to be:
[medical-device network, Kolabtree Services and Case Studies]
But times have changed. There's nothing anymore.

I haven't been paid
I did a project on 11th July 2023. My client was satisfied with my project with a rate of 5 stars but my problem is that my funds are still reflecting on the wallet but I haven't been paid yet and the support has not yet responded on that.

Good interface and system for communication and negotiation.
Always a great working experience
Always a great working experience.
Few suggestions:
Freelancers should also rate the client.
Freelancers should mark projects as completed and close them.
The payment transfer system also needs to be improved.
And the Website fee is also quite high compared to other platforms.
Kolabtree - A Great Platform for Academic Freelancers
I find Kolabtree to be a great platform for academic freelancers. Kolabtree provides a unique opportunity for freelancers, specifically those in the academic field, to connect with clients who require their expertise and services. One of the best features of Kolabtree is the ability to communicate with clients directly through the platform. This makes it easy to discuss project details, ask questions, and get feedback. Also, the platform provides secure payment options, ensuring that freelancers receive payment for their work in a timely and reliable manner.
Overall, I highly recommend Kolabtree to academic freelancers looking for great opportunities to showcase their expertise and earn a fair wage. The platform provides a seamless, easy-to-use interface that maximizes the chances of connecting with clients who require their skills.
