GigUp is an AI Upwork job tracker that monitors chosen Upwork searches around the clock, scores new jobs against a public Upwork profile, and sends alerts so freelancers can review matches and apply manually.
What is GigUp?
GigUp is a web-based job hunting assistant for Upwork freelancers. It takes a public Upwork profile link and an Upwork search link as inputs, then checks new jobs against the freelancer's skills, experience, and preferences to produce a match score with a short reason. It outputs job alerts through email, Telegram, or Slack and can generate proposal drafts for review. The site reports 1.3M+ jobs processed, 131.2K+ job alerts sent, and 1.1K freelancers joined.
What makes GigUp stand out?
- Public-profile matching — GigUp imports a public Upwork profile URL and uses the skills and experience shown there; it does not ask for an Upwork password.
- 24/7 job trackers — a tracker is a saved Upwork job search, and GigUp checks new jobs against the tracker continuously, including while the user sleeps.
- Match threshold control — users choose the minimum match score required for an alert; the example match shows a 92% score, budget range, payment verification, and a short reason for the match.
- Multi-channel alerts — Basic sends email alerts; Pro and Agency add Telegram and Slack alerts, with daily alert limits of 25, 100, and 500 by plan.
- AI proposal drafts — when a job is selected, GigUp can generate a proposal draft that the freelancer edits and submits on Upwork; it never submits the application itself.
- MCP and REST API access — optional connections let supported AI assistants or custom software read saved jobs and manage searches, with permissions that can be revoked.
- Account controls — email verification, optional two-factor authentication, session controls, API token revocation, and account deletion are listed as safety controls.
- No auto-apply — GigUp creates the draft and alert, but the freelancer reviews the opportunity and sends every Upwork application manually.
Who should use GigUp?
- Upwork freelancers with repeatable skills: website designers, WordPress specialists, and similar freelancers can monitor searches for terms such as website design or WordPress and receive alerts when a posting meets their match threshold.
- Freelancers who lose time checking job boards: users can create a tracker once, set a minimum score, and get alerts through email, Telegram, or Slack instead of refreshing Upwork searches manually.
- Freelancers who want faster proposal starts: users can open a matched job, ask GigUp to draft a proposal, edit the draft, and submit it themselves on Upwork.
- Small agencies or multi-search users: the Agency plan supports 10 AI job trackers and up to 500 job alerts per day across email, Telegram, and Slack.
What can you do with GigUp?
- Website designers: monitor an Upwork search for website or WordPress work, receive a match alert with budget and client details, and decide whether the job is worth pursuing.
- Freelancers preparing proposals: generate a proposal draft for a selected Upwork job, edit the message, and apply manually on Upwork.
- Agencies running several searches: set up multiple AI job trackers and route alerts to email, Telegram, or Slack under one of the paid plans.
- AI assistant users: connect a supported AI agent through MCP to ask for saved jobs or help prepare a proposal, with access that can be removed at any time.
How does GigUp work?
- Paste the link to a public Upwork profile so GigUp can learn the skills and experience shown there; no Upwork password is needed.
- Add an Upwork search link and describe the work wanted, then choose the minimum match score required for an alert.
- Open the job from the alert, optionally ask AI to draft a proposal, edit the draft, and submit the application on Upwork.

FAQ
Does GigUp need my Upwork password?
No. GigUp uses the public Upwork profile and search URLs that a user chooses to add. The site states that GigUp never asks for an Upwork password and does not sign in as the user.
Does GigUp apply to Upwork jobs automatically?
No. GigUp finds and scores jobs and can draft a proposal, but the freelancer reviews the opportunity and submits every application on Upwork personally. The workflow is alert, review, edit draft, then apply.
How does GigUp score an Upwork job?
GigUp compares the available job and client information with the freelancer's public profile, tracker instructions, and chosen threshold. It then shows a match score and a short explanation of why the job matched.
Which Upwork job alert channels are supported?
Basic includes email alerts. Pro and Agency include email, Telegram, and Slack alerts. The daily alert limits are up to 25 on Basic, up to 100 on Pro, and up to 500 on Agency.
What can I do with the MCP and REST API connections?
MCP connects a supported AI assistant to a GigUp account to find saved jobs or help prepare a proposal. The REST API lets custom software work with GigUp data and searches. Access can be revoked, and the freelancer still reviews and submits applications.
