GeneralWhat is Upwork Scout?
Upwork Scout is a Chrome extension that automates your entire Upwork workflow — from finding relevant jobs and filtering them by your preferences, to generating AI-powered proposals and sending alerts via Slack, WhatsApp, and Chrome notifications.
GeneralIs Upwork Scout safe to use?
Absolutely. Upwork Scout uses randomized fetch intervals and smart throttling to mimic natural browsing behavior. We never store your Upwork credentials, and all data stays in your browser's local storage.
FeaturesWhich AI providers do you support?
We currently support Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), and DeepSeek for generating cover letters and client replies. You bring your own API key, so you have full control over costs and model selection.
FeaturesHow do Slack and WhatsApp alerts work?
Connect your Slack workspace or WhatsApp number in the settings. When Scout finds a matching job, it sends a formatted alert with job details, client info, and a one-click apply button directly to your chosen channel.
SecurityDoes Scout access my Upwork account?
Scout reads publicly available job listings through Upwork's GraphQL API. For features like replying to client messages, it uses your existing browser session — no passwords are ever stored or transmitted.
SecurityWhere is my data stored?
All your settings and preferences are stored locally in Chrome's storage. We don't have servers that store your personal data. Analytics data is processed client-side and never leaves your browser.
PricingCan I cancel anytime?
Yes! There are no long-term contracts. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel, you'll keep access until the end of your billing period.
PricingIs there a free trial for Pro?
Yes, every new user gets a 14-day free trial of the Pro plan with all features unlocked. No credit card required. After the trial, you can choose to continue with Pro or switch to the Free plan.
