Upwork Connects
Definition
Virtual tokens freelancers spend to submit proposals on Upwork. Each proposal costs 2–6 Connects; free accounts get 10 per month; purchased Connects cost $0.15 each. Spent whether you win the job or not.
Why It Matters
Connects are a hidden cost of Upwork freelancing. Five proposals at 4 Connects each before winning a job means $3 spent before earning anything. Factor this into your pricing.
