GigUp is an AI Upwork job tracker that monitors the Upwork search links you save around the clock, scores each new job against your public Upwork profile, and sends an alert when a job clears your chosen match threshold.
What is GigUp?
GigUp is a web app that takes three inputs — the link to your public Upwork profile, one or more Upwork search links, and a minimum match score — and returns scored job matches with a short written reason, plus alert messages by email, Telegram, or Slack. It also generates proposal drafts on request. GigUp never asks for your Upwork password and never submits an application for you; every proposal is reviewed, edited, and sent on Upwork by the person using it. The site reports 1.3M+ jobs processed, 134.2K+ job alerts sent, and 1.1K freelancers joined.
What makes GigUp stand out?
- Public-profile matching — Paste your public Upwork profile URL (the site shows the
upwork.com/freelancers/~01...format) and the AI learns your skills and experience from that page alone, with no credentials involved. - Explainable match scores — Each job gets a percentage score plus a breakdown showing whether skills, budget, and client payment verification line up with your profile and preferences; the sample job is a 92% match at $55–$75/hr with a verified payment method.
- Threshold-based alerts — You choose the minimum match score that justifies an alert, so low-fit jobs stay out of your inbox.
- AI proposal drafts — Ask for a draft proposal for a specific job, edit the text, then send it yourself on Upwork; nothing is auto-submitted.
- Three alert channels — Email on every plan; Telegram and Slack added on Pro and Agency.
- MCP server for AI agents — A supported AI assistant can be connected to your GigUp account to find saved jobs or help prepare a proposal, with access removable at any time.
- REST API — Your own software can pull saved jobs or manage searches, with permissions scoped to what it may read or change.
- Account controls — Email verification, optional two-factor authentication, sign-out of other sessions, API token revocation, and account deletion.
Who should use GigUp?
- Upwork web and WordPress freelancers — run a tracker on a "business website" or "WordPress" search so new postings at their rate reach them while the listing is still fresh.
- Freelancers in busy categories who lose jobs to timing — the tracker checks listings continuously, including overnight, instead of relying on manual refreshes.
- Agencies and small teams — the Agency plan allows 10 trackers and up to 500 alerts per day, so several service lines or niches can be watched at once.
- Developers and AI-assistant users — the MCP connection and REST API let saved matches flow into an existing assistant or internal tool.
What can you do with GigUp?
- Website designers: turn a profile showing website design experience into a filtered feed of matching Upwork posts, each with a score and a rationale before you spend time on a proposal.
- WordPress developers: watch a targeted Upwork search, then generate a starting proposal line such as a short pitch about building the client's site with WordPress and edit it before sending.
- Agencies: run up to 10 separate trackers with different searches and thresholds, and route alerts to a shared Slack or Telegram channel.
- Tool builders: pull your latest GigUp matches into a dashboard or spreadsheet through the REST API rather than checking the GigUp job dashboard manually.
How does GigUp work?
- Import your public Upwork profile by pasting its link, so the AI can read your skills and experience.
- Add an Upwork search link, describe the work you want, and set the minimum match score that triggers an alert.
- Open the job from the alert, ask AI for a proposal draft, edit it, and submit the application yourself on Upwork.

FAQ
Does GigUp need my Upwork password?
No. GigUp only uses the public Upwork profile link and search URLs you choose to add, and the site states plainly that it never asks for your Upwork password. Access is limited to public data you supply.
Does GigUp apply to Upwork jobs automatically?
No. GigUp finds and scores jobs and can draft a proposal, but you review, edit, and submit every application yourself on Upwork. The page describes this human-approval step as a deliberate design choice rather than an upgrade in progress.
How does GigUp decide a job's match score?
It compares available job and client information — skills requested, budget range, payment verification status — against your public profile, your tracker instructions, and the threshold you set, then shows a percentage plus a short explanation of why the job matched.
Which alert channels does each plan support?
Basic includes email notifications only. Pro and Agency include email plus Telegram and Slack, which matters if you want matches pushed into a team channel instead of an inbox.
Is there a free plan?
The pricing section lists three paid tiers only — Basic, Pro, and Agency — and does not mention a free trial or a free tier, so tracking starts with a paid subscription.
