Upwork jobs by category, live New
Upwork jobs by category shows this week's job counts, median budgets and hourly rates, top skills and the latest posts for 12 categories, straight from our scanner.
Changelog
What we shipped since SnipeWork launched on 25 March 2026. Built by one founder, and this is the honest list, including changes to what the plans include.
September 2026
Client grade in every alert Improved
Telegram and Discord alerts now show the client's grade (A to D) and score, the same one you see on job cards in the app.
Fairer draft limits Improved
An AI draft is reserved before it is generated and returned if generation fails, so failed or empty drafts never use up your daily or trial limit.
SnipeWork v2: a faster, calmer app New
A redesigned app: clear navigation with a bottom tab bar on phones, job cards that show fit, client grade, country, budget, proposals and job age at a glance, notifications instead of a console, loading skeletons, keyboard-friendly dialogs and a scan window that remembers your choice.
Weekly summary in Telegram New
Every Monday, Telegram users get a short summary: how many jobs matched their filters in the last 7 days, how many came from high-quality clients, how many AI drafts they made and the latest matches.
Today's best matches right after sign-up Improved
Onboarding now ends with the top jobs for the categories you picked, and a tip for Telegram users whose alert links open inside Telegram instead of the Upwork app.
How scoring works, in public New
The methodology page lists the exact rules behind the fit score, the client score, the Balanced, Strict and Elite filters and the weekly Market Index.
Free proposal checker uses our servers Fixed
The proposal score tool rewrites proposals through SnipeWork's own API again, with fair-use limits.
Security and billing hardening Improved
Stricter checks for the Telegram bot and account connections, safer handling of plan changes, refunds and paused subscriptions, and usage limits enforced on the server.
Client quality filters and ranking New
Every job now gets a client score from 0 to 100 built from payment verification, hire rate, total spend, review rating, number of proposals and job age. Filter by hire rate, spend, proposals and job age, or pick a preset: Balanced, Strict or Elite. Payment verification is inferred from spend and hires when Upwork hides the flag.
More reliable alerts Improved
A watchdog now checks the scanner around the clock and restarts it automatically if it ever stalls, so Telegram and Discord alerts keep flowing. Job age is measured from the moment the client published the job.
Plans aligned with what the product does Changed
AI proposals are part of the paid plans. The 14-day trial includes 5 AI proposals, and the Free plan keeps a job feed with a 60-minute delay. The Product Hunt promo code has ended. See pricing.
Freelance industry news on the homepage New
A short feed of freelance, AI and marketplace news next to our own Upwork news and analysis.
August 2026
Short proposal mode New
Generate a short, pain-point-first cover letter when a long proposal is not what the job needs.
July 2026
Free plan, 14-day trial and the Starter plan New
A Free plan that never expires, a 14-day trial without a card, and Starter at $15 per month alongside Pro and Ultra. Plus proposal analytics and a guided Telegram setup.
Weekly Upwork Market Index and open dataset New
A weekly report on Upwork demand, budgets and hourly rates with permanent archive pages, a JSON feed and a CSV dataset. See the Market Index.
Upwork rates by category, rate calculator and embeddable widget New
Public pages with average budgets and hourly rates for 12 Upwork categories, a rate calculator and a free widget for your site.
Upwork news, answers and honest comparisons New
Upwork news and analysis, data-backed answers to common Upwork questions and comparisons with other tools that say when the other tool is the better pick.
SnipeWork in 8 languages New
The website and the app are available in English, Russian, Spanish, German, Chinese, Arabic, Korean and Japanese.
Better proposal drafts Improved
Proposal drafts now run on DeepSeek V4.
April 2026
Free Upwork market API and MCP server New
Live Upwork market data for developers and AI assistants: a REST API, an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and agent frameworks, and an OpenAPI spec. See the API docs.
Light theme and reliability fixes Improved
The app switched to a light theme by default. Telegram buttons, scan counters and the job feed filters got a round of fixes.
March 2026
SnipeWork launches Launch
On 25 March 2026 SnipeWork opened to everyone: Upwork job scanning through the official API, AI proposal drafts, Telegram and Discord alerts and proposal history.
