How is Vibeworker different from Upwork's built-in job alerts?
Upwork's built-in alerts match keywords — if a job contains "React" it gets sent to you regardless of whether the client is serious, the scope is clear, or the budget is realistic. Vibeworker uses AI to evaluate the full job: scope clarity, red flags, client quality, budget realism, and fit with your specific hunting strategy. It also delivers instant push notifications rather than email, so you see high-fit jobs within 2–5 minutes of posting instead of hours later.
What's the best mode for someone with no Upwork reviews?
Quick Wins mode — a review-stacking strategy that finds jobs with crystal-clear deliverables, verified clients, and scopes you can close in a single session. The kind that turn into 5-star reviews and repeat business. Budget is secondary when you're building your reputation. Once you have 5+ reviews, Skill Match and High Value modes become more relevant.
Is this against Upwork's Terms of Service?
No. Vibeworker is a passive monitoring tool. It reads real-time job feeds and alerts you when a strong match appears. We do not automate the application process or interact with your Upwork account in any way. You still review every job and apply yourself — we just make sure you're first in line.
How fast are the notifications?
Jobs are monitored in real-time as they arrive. When a strong match appears, you'll get a push notification within 2–5 minutes of the job being posted — usually long before the proposal pile builds up. Most good jobs attract their first wave of applicants within 30 minutes; being this fast puts you in that first wave.
How do I receive alerts?
Browser push notifications, sent directly to your device the moment a match is found. No email, no feed to refresh. You can even enable alerts on mobile by adding the dashboard to your home screen.
Do I need to keep a tab open?
No. Push notifications work even when the browser is in the background. You'll get the ping on your phone or desktop, then open the dashboard to review the job.
Does it cost Connects?
Vibeworker itself doesn't use Connects. Applying to jobs on Upwork still requires them, but that's the point — every Connect you spend should be on a job worth winning. Vibeworker makes sure you're not burning them on scope traps and tire-kicker clients.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes the full AI-ranked job feed, match scores, filter tabs, and unlimited job history. Upgrade only when you want Upwork links, proposal generation, and alerts.
What skills or experience do I need?
Any Upwork freelancer can use Vibeworker. During setup, you describe what you do and choose your Hunting Mode. The system matches jobs to your profile — whether you're a developer, designer, writer, or anything else.
Can I change my Hunting Mode?
Yes, anytime from settings. Switching modes instantly re-ranks your entire job feed — every past job is already scored, so there's no waiting for data to rebuild.
What are the paid pricing options?
Vibeworker Pro is $19/month or $189/year, with regional pricing adjustments in some countries. Cancel anytime and keep access through the end of your current billing period.
Is there a mobile app?
Not yet — but the dashboard is a progressive web app. Add it to your home screen on iOS or Android and it works like a native app, including push notifications. Native iOS and Android apps are in active development and will be available soon.
