After an exhaustive investigation; we've noticed that Fiverr is a platform that has been very well received in the market; but has presented some shortcomings that have generated that its public has several complaints or nonconformities with the services found. Among these are:

• Freelancers are mainly located in the United States; so the costs of the services offered are high compared to the local currency used in different Latin American countries. This generates that the services required exceed the budgets of companies and entrepreneurs who need to hire this type of freelancer.
• Many users are not highly professional. Due to the nature of Fiverr; where the goal was to be able to offer digital services for USD $5;00; there are many people who offer low-quality creative services; which generates dissatisfaction in employers because they do not specifically require amateur services; but in most occasions; high-quality services are required for highly professional jobs.
• Only individual professionals can be hired and not a complete team with specific characteristics; this means that if a project is required to be done with more than one person; Project Management and tracking becomes complicated; as each team member must be managed separately; which can create challenges in achieving successful Project Management. The service tracking tool is not suitable for highly professional projects. Many people have had a bad experience with project tracking and this is due to the nature of the platform; which; as mentioned above; was designed for low-priced; quick turnaround services. In the case of having a project that requires multiple deliverables and a high degree of difficulty; it is difficult to track properly; set deadlines and therefore achieve excellent results
