Understand How Upwork Connects Work

Connects are virtual tokens you use to submit proposals for jobs on Upwork. The number you receive can be influenced by various factors.

Number of Connects for Free Members

As a free member, you initially don’t receive any free connects. Instead, you need to purchase connects to submit a job proposal.

• Each connect costs $0.15.
• The price of the connects is not refundable.
• There is no expiration on the purchased connects.

Number of Connects for Plus Members

Those with a Plus membership on Upwork, priced at $14.99 per month, receive 70 connects a month.

• These connects are refreshed each month, but do not roll over; any unused connects at the end of the month will expire.
• You can buy additional connects on top of the complimentary 70. The cost and rules are the same as the ones for free members.

Submit Proposals Wisely

Each job proposal costs between 1 to 6 connects, depending on the job. So, it’s important to use your connects wisely by picking the job posts that match your skill set and pricing. Remember, the key to successful freelancing is not just about quantity, it’s about quality as well.For further details, I suggest you visit the Upwork website.
