Placing a bid with Apply Now

What happens when you press Apply Now: amount, delivery time, the proposal text and how the bid is sent to Freelancer.com.

What Apply Now does

Apply Now is the only way AutoBidPilot places a bid. When you press it on a project, it sends one bid to Freelancer.com from your connected account with:

  • the proposal text you reviewed,
  • the amount and delivery time, prefilled from your price ranges and editable on every bid,
  • the profile you chose to bid as.

Bid in the project's own currency; AutoBidPilot shows it with the budget.

Bid range settings: an amount and delivery time per budget range, used to prefill Apply Now
Real screen from the app, demo account with fictional data.

After you press it

  • If Freelancer.com accepts the bid, one credit is used and the bid appears in your history with a link to the project.
  • If Freelancer.com refuses it (for example because your Freelancer.com bids for the month are used up), the credit goes straight back and you see why.
  • If you have no price range for the project's budget and did not type an amount, you are asked for one before anything is sent.

Clients reply to you on Freelancer.com, as with any bid. See credits and refunds.
