Frequently asked questions
What is GigRadar?+
GigRadar is an Upwork proposal automation tool that submits proposals through a managed Business Developer account on the Agency Plus plan. It targets agencies running outbound bidding at scale.
What is the main difference between UpHunt and GigRadar?+
Both run the same Upwork Agency Plus Business Developer model, so the underlying mechanism is identical. The difference is packaging. UpHunt publishes pricing starting at $89/mo with no commitment and no setup fee. GigRadar gates pricing behind a sales demo, requires a 3-month minimum, and adds a one-time setup fee.
Is UpHunt a cheaper alternative to GigRadar?+
Yes for most agencies. UpHunt's entry plan is roughly one-fifth of the typical GigRadar entry quote, with no contract and pay-as-you-go credits at $0.40 each. Cost differences widen further at higher volume because UpHunt does not lock you into pre-paid tier ceilings.
Does UpHunt require a long-term contract?+
No. UpHunt is month-to-month and you can cancel anytime from the dashboard. There is no setup fee and no minimum commitment beyond the current billing month.
Can I migrate from GigRadar to UpHunt?+
Yes. The Agency Plus model is identical on both, so the switch is essentially: invite UpHunt's business developer into your Upwork agency, generate an UpHunt API key, point your existing proposal workflows at the new endpoint. No Upwork data migration is required.
Is UpHunt safe for my Upwork account?+
UpHunt's automation runs on its own business developer account, not on your personal Upwork login. You never share your Upwork password. Because Upwork's Agency Plus feature explicitly allows agency members to submit proposals on behalf of the agency, this approach keeps you within Upwork's Terms of Service.
Does GigRadar offer a free trial?+
Not publicly advertised at time of writing. GigRadar's public site routes to a sales demo. UpHunt offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
