Inspiration

Freelancers on Upwork, Fiverr and Freelancer spend hours a week scrolling listings that don't fit and rewriting nearly the same proposal. Auto-apply bots are banned and spammy. We wanted a co-pilot: do the finding and the first draft; leave judgment and Submit to the human.

What it does

Skills, rate floor, niches, excluded keywords → Chrome extension Scan (only on user action) → 0–100 fit score with reasons → Pro drafts cover letter + 3 milestones + client questions + a "what you still must do" checklist. Daily digest with links to submit. Extension prefills only — it never presses Submit. Studio: 5 seats + work bench.

How we built it

TypeScript monorepo: Next.js 16 + Hono API, Drizzle/Postgres (Neon), Better Auth, Stripe Checkout + signed webhooks, Resend, MV3 Chrome extension. Deterministic fit-v1 scorer (no LLM on Free). Drafts via Anthropic/OpenAI-compatible with template fallback. License keys are signed HMAC tokens (rotatable, revocable). 37 API + 26 core + 14 extension tests; production build verified.

Governance

Scan only on click; no marketplace credentials stored; never submits; listing text is untrusted input (fenced prompts, zod JSON, portfolio-only links); export/delete in product. Details in docs/COMPLIANCE.md.

Honest scope

Real-marketplace parsers are best-effort; fixture board is the supported demo. Stripe is test mode — no customers or revenue yet.

Monetization

Free $0 (5 scored matches/wk) · Pro $29/mo (drafts + digest) · Studio $99/mo (5 seats + work bench). Paywall sits on the hours saved. Unit economics are illustrative assumptions.

Product details (profile floors)

Hourly rate floor and minimum fixed budget are separate settings. Example: hourly floor $55/hr and min fixed budget $100 — pay-per-job gigs under $100 are flagged, hourly under $55/hr is flagged. Sample-board practice listings are badge-tagged SAMPLE BOARD and hidden by default so they never masquerade as live marketplace hits.
