Connects are a virtual currency that freelancers can use to bid on jobs on UpWork. 1 Connect is worth $0.15.

As a freelancer, you’ll need to purchase Connects in order to submit a proposal for most jobs. You can buy Connects as you need them, or in bulk. The more Connects you buy at one time, the lower the price per Connect.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using Upwork to connect with freelancers, be aware that there is a fee for this service. Upwork does not charge a percentage of the freelancer’s project fee, but instead charges a flat rate based on the freelancer’s hourly rate. Therefore, if you are working with a freelancer who has a high hourly rate, the connect fee can be quite expensive.

If you’re just starting out, you may want to buy a few Connects to get a feel for how the system works. But if you plan on bidding on a lot of jobs, it may be worth your while to buy them in bulk.
