Questions

Get a more consistent and cost-effective lead generator for your Upwork agency.

Ask a Question

What makes GigRadar better than a human lead generator?

Manual lead generation is often expensive, inconsistent, and slow. Typically, hiring a human lead generator costs over $500 per month, allowing you to send only 150-250 proposals without prioritizing speed. With GigRadar, you can send over 400 proposals within the first 10-15 minutes after a job is posted, at a lower cost per proposal than traditional methods. This combination of affordability, speed, and scalability makes GigRadar a powerful solution for automated lead generation.

Are there any risks associated with using GigRadar?

GigRadar serves over 500 Upwork agencies worldwide and generates over $20 million in annual revenue for Upwork through connects. No client using GigRadar has ever experienced account bans or suspensions, ensuring a risk-free solution for automating Upwork bidding.

Does GigRadar offer a free trial?

When we onboard a new client, we cover several technical costs out of pocket, making it financially unfeasible to offer free trials. Additionally, a free trial wouldn’t provide much value, as achieving peak results takes time to optimize your setup, cover letter copy, and profiles. GigRadar isn’t a magic solution, but when used correctly, it can greatly enhance your Upwork lead generation efforts.

Can clients detect AI usage when reading GigRadar-generated cover letters?

With most AI tools for Upwork, clients can detect the use of AI. But, if freelancers are using GigRadar, then the answer is no. This is because our proprietary solution uses both the freelancers profile and the clients job description as contextual information to generate cover letter copy. By doing such research behind the scenes, the cover letter copy looks as if the freelancer has really taken the time to investigate the project, extract pain points, expectations, and ask questions that showcase expertise. In fact, after analyzing over 1 million proposals, we have even seen that AI generated cover letters receive higher reply rates than human-written ones!

Can GigRadar help me with Upwork profile optimization?

Yes, GigRadar includes a feature called "Insights," which lets you identify the most popular and in-demand skills in your specific niche. By incorporating these keywords into your title, description, and skill set on your general or specialized profile, you can enhance your Upwork SEO. This optimization helps your profile rank higher in Upwork's talent search, leading to more inbound client invitations.

How much does GigRadar cost?

We offer custom-tailored pricing for all clients based on their specific needs. In general, we charge between $0.6 - $2.0 per AI-generated proposal (plus a setup fee) based on the size of the selected plan. To get a quote tailored specifically for you, please book a demo with our team!

Can I use GigRadar from my freelancer profile?

Technically speaking, no, you are required to have an agency profile to use GigRadar. However, many of our users are solo freelancers who set up agency profiles to automate their lead generation effectively. If you’re an individual freelancer interested in automation, GigRadar can still work for you just as efficiently, but you will still need to setup an agency profile to use GigRadar

Can GigRadar help me even if I’m brand new to Upwork?

Yes, we have helped numerous freelancers grow their Upwork businesses from scratch, including Alejandro Rodriguez and Gavin Hewitson. Both started with zero earnings and reached over $10k in just a few months! GigRadar is especially beneficial for new users because, when starting on Upwork, you need to bid in high volumes to win jobs and build credibility. This process becomes much more manageable with Upwork automation.
