Stop Writing Proposals From Scratch

Most tools give you a blank box. ProposalLift uses your portfolio, tone, and the job itself to generate structured, ready-to-send proposals.

Writing from scratch

Slow, inconsistent, no structure

Pasting into ChatGPT

No portfolio, no tone, no context

Freelancers and agencies who stopped improvising

Teams who replaced one-off drafts with a repeatable proposal workflow, and started closing more of the right jobs.

We've tried Vollna and a couple of other tools in past couple of years. All of them were good but doing same generic stuff. Finally we're creating personalized Proposals in Humanized tone. Love it!

Personas plus portfolio context finally made our drafts specific enough to win the jobs. We dumped all our knowledgebase and system was intelligent enough to write proposals better then our bidders.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about how ProposalLift works.

You're responsible for your account and compliance with Upwork's terms. ProposalLift helps you draft; you review and submit. We don't auto-submit or spend connects.
No, you always review and submit. We don't log in to your account, we don't auto-submit, and we don't bypass any platform system. Read Upwork's automation policy.
That's exactly why personas, portfolio, and your templates and hooks exist: the model is constrained to your positioning and proof, not generic advice.
ChatGPT doesn't ship with your winning structures, project library, org knowledge, or a workflow built around how you actually apply on Upwork (job feed plus browser extension). ProposalLift is context and process, not a blank prompt box. See the full comparison.
Your personas, portfolio, templates, and drafts belong to you. Everything travels over HTTPS and is stored with encryption at rest, sensitive API keys are never exposed to your browser, and we never use your data to train AI models. When you generate, the job post and the context you chose go to your selected AI provider (OpenAI or Anthropic) only to write that draft. Read the Privacy Policy.
Your plan includes AI credits, and each AI action spends some: a full proposal costs 0.5 to 2 credits depending on the model, and smaller actions such as regenerating a hook cost 0.5. In a busy month, top up with a credit pack from $0.99. Compare plans and credits.
It brings your personas, templates, and hooks onto Upwork's apply page, writes the draft there, and inserts it into the proposal field. You review and submit yourself. It's optional, the web app is complete on its own. How the extension works.
Yes. A free, self-hosted edition is available under the AGPL-3.0 license, for solo use. It suits developers comfortable running Docker and Supabase with their own OpenAI key and Upwork developer app. If you want AI credits included, team workspaces, and no setup, the hosted plans are the faster path. See the open-source edition. View it on GitHub.
The Agency plan gives your team one shared workspace: invite members, share personas, portfolio, templates, and hooks, and draw from one pooled credit balance under organization billing. ProposalLift for agencies.

Your next proposal shouldn't start from zero
