Project search
Find the projects that fit your skills
Search live Freelancer.com projects by your skills, budget range, project type and other filters you set. Each result shows the budget, how many bids it already has and how long ago it was posted, and you decide which ones to open.
- Filter by skills, countries, budget and project type
- Search filters you set yourself, such as a payment-verified client
- Open, draft a proposal or skip in one click
AI proposals
A proposal written for this project, not a template
Open any project and generate a proposal from its actual brief and your profile. Pick a writing style: concise, technical, question-led, experience-led or milestone plan. Read it, edit it, then send it with your bid when you press Apply Now.
- Five proposal styles, set per profile or per bid
- Uses only the experience written on your profile
- Nothing is sent until you review it and press Apply Now
Freelancer profiles
Connect once, bid as the right profile
Sign in with your Freelancer.com account and your profiles sync in. Each profile keeps its own tagline, rate, skills and default proposal style, so a WordPress job is answered by your WordPress profile and a design job by your design profile.
- Secure Freelancer.com OAuth connection
- Multiple profiles, each with its own skills and style
- Refresh or disconnect whenever you want
Pricing and filters
Your prices, your search filters
Set a suggested bid amount and delivery time for each budget range, and narrow your project search to the skills, countries and project details you want. Apply Now prefills your prices; you can change them on every bid.
Bid ranges
A bid amount and delivery time per budget range, for fixed-price and hourly projects.
Client filters
Search filters on the details Freelancer.com shows with each project, such as a verified payment method. You choose them; they only hide projects from your list.
Skills
Pick which of your profile skills are used to find projects.
Countries
Limit projects to clients in the countries you choose.
Languages and skill match
Choose the languages you work in and how many of a project's skills must match yours, so your search shows the projects you can really deliver.
Statistics
Know what is working
Track bids per day, the share that went through, the value of what you bid and which profile performs best. Export your history to CSV or JSON whenever you need it.
- Bidding trend chart for 7, 30 or 90 days
- Per-profile performance
- CSV and JSON export
Templates and history
Your own templates, and a full record of every bid
Keep proposal templates with placeholders for the client name, project title and delivery time for the jobs you answer often. Every bid is logged with its profile, amount, delivery time and result, so nothing goes out without a trace.
- Templates with placeholders
- Bid history with filters
- Link from each bid back to its project

Bid quality
No generic, copy-paste proposals
Clients can spot a copy-paste bid in one line. A draft that fails the quality check cannot be sent.
Five proposal styles
- Concise & direct. The problem in one line, what you will do, one question.
- Detailed & technical. A short summary, then a numbered plan that names the tools and steps.
- Consultative & question-led. Opens with a diagnostic question and explains how the answer shapes the approach.
- Experience-led. Leads with the most relevant past work from your profile, then ties it to the project.
- Plan & milestones. Splits the work into 2 to 3 milestones with realistic timing and deliverables.
A quality check on every proposal
Before a proposal can be used, it is checked. It is discarded if it:
- is not specific to the project
- uses generic, copy-paste phrases
- contains an email address or phone number
- asks the client to talk outside Freelancer.com
- links anywhere not in your portfolio
- is empty, too short, too long or has unfilled placeholders
It only cites experience you wrote on your profile.
You place every bid
AutoBidPilot drafts; you decide. For every bid you:
- choose the project
- read and edit the proposal
- confirm the amount and delivery time
- press Apply Now to send it from your own Freelancer.com account
Bids use your own Freelancer.com account and its bid allowance.
Pricing
Pay per bid, not per month
No subscription and no plans. You use a credit only when a bid is actually placed on Freelancer.com.
1 credit = 1 bid
A credit is used only when a bid is actually placed on Freelancer.com, when you press Apply Now.
Failed bids are refunded
If Freelancer.com refuses a bid, or the proposal fails our quality check so nothing is sent, the credit goes straight back to your balance.
The rest is free
Searching projects and writing AI proposals never use a credit. Failed bids are refunded.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Freelancer.com account?
Yes. Your bids are placed from your own Freelancer.com account, so you connect it during setup. No account yet? Use the "Create your free Freelancer account" link near the top of this page, verify your email, then sign up here and connect it in one click.
How much does it cost?
You pay per bid, not per month: 1 credit is used for each bid actually placed on Freelancer.com. Searching projects and writing AI proposals are free, and a bid Freelancer refuses is refunded. You get 100 free credits when you connect your Freelancer.com account. After that, credit packs start at $5 for 100 credits.
Is there a referral program?
Yes. When a friend you invite connects their Freelancer account, you get 50 free credits to use in AutoBidPilot. Sign up, open Invite friends in the menu and share your personal link.
What happens if a bid fails?
The credit is refunded automatically. That covers bids Freelancer.com refuses and proposals our quality check rejects (in which case no bid is sent at all).
Does AutoBidPilot need my Freelancer.com password?
No. You connect through Freelancer.com's own sign-in (OAuth), and you can disconnect at any time from the Profiles page.
Will it send generic, copy-paste bids?
No. Every proposal is written from the project's own description and your profile, then checked. If it is not specific to the project, is too short or too long, contains contact details or links you have not approved, or reads like boilerplate, it is discarded and no bid is placed.
Can I review proposals before they are sent?
Yes, always. Open a project, generate a proposal, read and edit it, and choose your bid amount. Nothing is sent to Freelancer.com until you press Apply Now.
Does AutoBidPilot bid for me automatically?
No. Automatic bidding is not offered or sold. You decide which projects to bid on, you review each proposal and you place each bid yourself with Apply Now. Your search filters only narrow the list you see.
Does AutoBidPilot decide which clients are good?
No. It does not score, rank or judge clients. It shows the information Freelancer.com publishes with each project (such as budget, country and whether the client verified a payment method), and the filters you choose hide the projects you do not want to see.
What does setup involve?
Connect your Freelancer.com account, confirm your skills, pick the client countries you want, set your prices and your proposal style, then place your first bid yourself.
Does it guarantee I will win projects?
No tool can. AutoBidPilot saves you time finding suitable projects and writing specific proposals; the client still decides who to hire.
Which platforms are supported?
Freelancer.com. The whole product is built around its projects, profiles and bidding.
Spend your time on the work, not the bidding
Connect your Freelancer.com account, set your filters, prices and style, and place your first bid. Connecting it adds 100 free credits; you only use a credit when a bid is placed.
