Being early is the whole game.

Most Upwork jobs receive their winning proposal within the first hours. If you find the post a day later, you already lost. Upwork Scout closes that gap: your matching jobs arrive while the client is still reading proposals.

  • Filter by client spend, rating, country and payment status
  • Skip crowded posts and jobs where someone was already hired

Questions, answered

How fast are the alerts?

Upwork Scout scans continuously (roughly every 15 minutes) and emails matching jobs the moment they're stored — so you're applying while most freelancers haven't seen the post yet. Upwork's own saved-search emails arrive at most once a day.

What can I filter by?

Everything Upwork search offers (boolean keywords, budget, experience level, project length, job type) plus the filters it doesn't: client lifetime spend, client rating, past hires, payment verification, proposal count, already-hired jobs, and country include/exclude lists.

How does the AI matching work?

You describe yourself once — skills, experience, what you want, your minimum rate (or paste your Upwork profile and AI fills it in). Every job that passes your filters is then scored 0–100 against your profile, with a one-line reason. Jobs below your threshold never reach your inbox.

Is this against Upwork's rules?

Upwork Scout reads publicly visible job listings to notify you — you still apply normally through Upwork with your own account. It never logs into Upwork for you, auto-applies, or automates your account.

How much does it cost?

There's a free tier — up to 3 categories, 15 alert emails a day, and daily AI scoring included. Paid plans with higher limits are coming; early users lock in generous limits.

Do I need a password?

No. Sign-in is a magic link to your email. Unsubscribe is one click in any alert.
