Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | Description of Business Upwork Inc. (the “Company” or “Upwork”) operates an online talent solution that enables businesses (“clients”) to find and work with highly-skilled independent professionals (“freelancers,” and, together with clients, “users”). The Company was originally incorporated in the state of Delaware in December 2013 prior to and in connection with the combination (the “Elance-oDesk Combination”) of Elance, Inc. (“Elance”) and oDesk Corporation (“oDesk”). The Company changed its name to Elance-oDesk, Inc. shortly before the Elance-oDesk Combination in March 2014, and later to Upwork Inc. in May 2015. In 2015, the Company relaunched as Upwork and commenced consolidation of its two operating platforms. In 2016, following completion of the platform consolidation, the Company began operating under a single platform. The Company is currently headquartered in Santa Clara, California. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “Upwork” and the “Company” in these notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements refer to Upwork and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”), filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Upwork Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods, but do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or financial condition to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2020. Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Such estimates include, but are not limited to: the useful lives of assets; assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets; goodwill impairment; standalone selling price of material rights and the period of time over which to defer and recognize the consideration allocated to the material rights; allowance for doubtful accounts; liabilities relating to transaction losses; the valuation of warrants; stock-based compensation; and accounting for income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and revises them when facts and circumstances dictate. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy. The Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Impacts of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements on 2019 Interim Reporting On December 31, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), and ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“Topic 230”) effective as of January 1, 2019. As a result, interim results for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 will differ from amounts previously reported on the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The following table summarizes the impacts of adopting these standards on the Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (in thousands): March 31, 2019 Balances, Topic Topic 842 (1) Topic Balances, Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations Revenue $ 68,924 $ (448) $ — $ — $ 68,476 Operating expense—General and administrative 15,677 — (16) — 15,661 Net loss (4,728) (448) 16 — (5,160) Net loss per share, basic and diluted (0.04) (0.01) — — (0.05) Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows Operating activities Net loss $ (4,728) $ (448) $ 16 $ — $ (5,160) Amortization of operating lease asset — — 1,072 — 1,072 Trade and client receivables (26,431) 282 — — (26,149) Prepaid expenses and other assets (991) — 105 — (886) Operating lease liability — — (378) — (378) Accrued expenses and other liabilities (3,042) (268) (815) — (4,125) Deferred revenue 169 434 — — 603 Investing activities—decrease (increase) in restricted cash 250 — — (250) — Financing activities—changes in funds held in escrow, including funds in transit (21,899) — — 21,899 — NET CHANGE IN CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH (79,908) — — 21,649 (58,259) Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash—beginning of period 129,128 — — 100,939 230,067 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash—end of period 49,220 — — 122,588 171,808 (1) Amounts include other adjustments made in conjunction with the adoption of Topic 842. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The significant accounting policies applied in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, as disclosed in the Annual Report, are applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except as noted below. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and related updates on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Others (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04 on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 using the prospective adoption method. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The Company has reviewed all other accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and concluded they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | Revenue Disaggregation of Revenue See “Note 9 —Segment and Geographical Information” for the Company’s revenue disaggregated by type of service and geographic area. Remaining Performance Obligations As of March 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $17.6 million of remaining performance obligations. The Company’s remaining performance obligations consist of transaction price that has been allocated to unexercised material rights related to the Company’s arrangements with freelancers subject to tiered service fees, subscriptions, memberships, “Connects” (virtual tokens that allow freelancers to bid on projects on the Company’s platform), and certain incentive payments made to the Company by payment processors. As of March 31, 2020, the Company expects to recognize approximately $14.4 million over the next 12 months, with the remaining balance recognized thereafter. The Company has applied the practical expedients and exemptions and does not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less; and (ii) contracts for which the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct service that forms part of a single performance obligation under the series guidance. Contract Balances The following table provides information about the balances of the Company’s trade and client receivables, net of allowance and contract liabilities included in deferred revenue and other liabilities, noncurrent (in thousands): March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Trade and client receivables, net of allowance $ 35,260 $ 30,156 Contract liabilities Deferred revenue 14,386 13,799 Deferred revenue (component of other liabilities, noncurrent) 3,215 3,153 During the three months ended March 31, 2020, changes in the contract liabilities balances were a result of normal business activity and deferral of revenue related to arrangements with freelancers subject to tiered service fees and related allocation of transaction price to material rights. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: • Level I—Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; • Level II—Observable inputs other than Level I prices, such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and • Level III—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These inputs are based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value and require significant management judgment or estimation. The categorization of a financial instrument within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to its fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the assets or liabilities. The Company’s financial instruments that are carried at fair value consist of Level I and Level II assets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis based on the three-tier fair value hierarchy (in thousands): March 31, 2020 Level I Level II Level III Total Cash equivalents—money market funds $ 59,479 $ — $ — $ 59,479 Marketable securities Commercial paper — 44,790 — 44,790 U.S. government securities 34,903 — — 34,903 Total financial assets $ 94,382 $ 44,790 $ — $ 139,172 December 31, 2019 Level I Level II Level III Total Cash equivalents—money market funds $ 35,286 $ — $ — $ 35,286 Marketable securities Commercial paper — 50,794 — 50,794 U.S. government securities 34,687 — — 34,687 Total financial assets $ 69,973 $ 50,794 $ — $ 120,767 For each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the gross unrealized gains and losses on the Company’s marketable securities were immaterial. As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company considered any decreases in market value to be temporary in nature and did not consider any of the Company’s marketable securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired. As such, the Company did not record any impairment charges with respect to its marketable securities during each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. |

Amortization expense of intangible assets was $0.7 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. Amortization expense is included in general and administrative expenses. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Accrued compensation and related benefits $ 6,089 $ 5,344 Accrued freelancer costs 1,665 622 Accrued indirect taxes 1,746 2,401 Accrued vendor expenses 9,499 5,485 Accrued payment processing fees 870 832 Operating lease liability, current 3,134 3,214 Other 391 444 Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 23,394 $ 18,342 In February 2020, the Company made changes to its organizational structure to better align with its business strategies and streamline the delivery of its end-to-end user experiences. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company incurred $1.6 million related to these initiatives, of which $0.4 million is included in accrued compensation and related benefits as of March 31, 2020. Operating Leases On January 1, 2020, the Company commenced an operating lease of one additional floor in its Chicago, Illinois office. As a result, the Company recognized a $1.7 million operating lease asset and $1.7 million operating lease liability on January 1, 2020, which are included in operating lease asset and operating lease liability, noncurrent, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020. The lease has an initial term of five years with the option to renew for an additional five years at the end of the initial lease term. Total minimum lease payments under the initial term are $2.1 million. For the initial measurement of the present value of the lease payments associated with this lease, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate, which is a collateralized rate and approximates the rate at which the Company could borrow, on a secured basis for a similar term, an amount equal to its lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company includes lease payments associated with renewal options in its operating lease asset and liability only when it becomes reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the renewal option. The Company has not included renewal options for any of its operating leases in its determination of lease liabilities as of March 31, 2020. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Letters of Credit In conjunction with the operating lease agreements, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had three irrevocable letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amounts of $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. No amounts had been drawn against these letters of credit as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Contingencies The Company accrues contingent liabilities when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated. From time to time in the normal course of business, various claims and litigation have been asserted or commenced. Due to uncertainties inherent in litigation and other claims, the Company can give no assurance that it will prevail in any such matters, which could subject the Company to significant liability or damages. Any claims or litigation could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows in or following the period that claims or litigation are resolved. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings or claims, nor is the Company aware of any pending or threatened litigation or claims that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, cash flows, or financial condition. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the existence of a material loss as of these dates is neither probable nor reasonably possible. Indemnification The Company has indemnification agreements with its officers, directors, and certain key employees to indemnify them while they are serving in good faith in their respective positions. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it agrees to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to clients, business partners, vendors, and other parties, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the Company’s breach of such agreements, claims related to potential data or information security breaches, intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties, and other liabilities relating to or arising from the Company’s products and services or its acts or omissions. In addition, subject to the terms of the applicable agreement, as part of the Company’s Upwork Enterprise offering, the Company indemnifies clients that subscribe to worker classification services for losses arising from worker misclassification. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. |

Among other things, the Company may only borrow funds under the revolving line of credit if, after giving effect thereto, total borrowings under the line of credit do not exceed a specified percentage of eligible trade and client accounts receivable. The Company has granted its lender first-priority liens against substantially all of its assets, as collateral, excluding the Company’s intellectual property (but including proceeds therefrom) and the funds and assets held by the Company’s subsidiary, Upwork Escrow Inc. The Company has also agreed to a negative pledge on its intellectual property. The Loan Agreement also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted quick ratio of 1.75. The Loan Agreement also includes a restrictive covenant on dividend payments other than dividends paid solely in common stock. The Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Loan Agreement as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As a result of the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company drew down $15.0 million under the revolving line of credit in March 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repaid $1.3 million related to the First Term Loan and $0.6 million related to the Second Term Loan. Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company commenced repayment on the Term Loans in April 2019; accordingly, there were no repayments during the three months ended March 31, 2019. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. As such, the information included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Annual Report”), filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all disclosures including notes required by U.S. GAAP. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Upwork Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods, but do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations or financial condition to be anticipated for the full year ending December 31, 2020. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Such estimates include, but are not limited to: the useful lives of assets; assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets; goodwill impairment; standalone selling price of material rights and the period of time over which to defer and recognize the consideration allocated to the material rights; allowance for doubtful accounts; liabilities relating to transaction losses; the valuation of warrants; stock-based compensation; and accounting for income taxes. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company evaluates its estimates, assumptions, and judgments on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors and revises them when facts and circumstances dictate. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements The significant accounting policies applied in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, as disclosed in the Annual Report, are applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, except as noted below. In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This standard changes the methodology for measuring credit losses on financial instruments and the timing of when such losses are recorded. The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13 and related updates on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Others (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU No. 2017-04 eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test, which measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-04 on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15 on January 1, 2020 using the prospective adoption method. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted The Company has reviewed all other accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and concluded they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. |
