# Upwatcher > Real-time Upwork job alerts with AI fit scoring and proposal drafts. > Catches every new posting in a freelancer's niche seconds after it > goes live, scores it against the freelancer's profile, and hands back > an AI-drafted proposal ready to send. Telegram / Discord / Slack > delivery. No Upwork login, no auto-bidding — TOS-safe by construction. Upwatcher reads public Upwork job postings on its own infrastructure (it never logs in as the user, never runs anything in the user's browser, never auto-applies). It is a watcher + match-scoring + draft generator + light CRM, not an auto-bidder. Currently in public beta — first watcher is free, no waitlist, no card. ## Product surface - [Homepage](https://www.upwatcher.io/): product overview, features, TOS posture, FAQ, signup. - [Pricing](https://www.upwatcher.io/pricing): tier comparison (free vs founding tier), pricing FAQ.

A persistent browser tab watches that URL on Upwatcher's infrastructure. When a new posting matches, Upwatcher pulls the brief, computes a profile-aware fit score, generates three proposal drafts in different voices, and pushes a notification to Telegram, Discord or Slack — within seconds. The freelancer reviews, edits, and submits the proposal themselves on Upwork. No Upwork credentials are stored, no automated submission ever happens. Upwatcher also produces a biweekly market PDF (rate distribution, skill demand, niche finder) and live trends/timing data backed by the same scrape that powers the guides and market pages. ## Legal - [Privacy](https://www.upwatcher.io/privacy) - [Terms](https://www.upwatcher.io/terms) - [Contact](https://www.upwatcher.io/contact) ## Excluded from indexing The authenticated product surface (dashboard, jobs, proposals, watchers, trends, performance, timing, profile, settings, admin) lives at `app.upwatcher.io` and is gated by session auth; AI agents should treat it as out-of-scope.
