For freelancers and agencies that still want to control every proposal, Vollna connects job discovery, qualification, proposal writing, and analytics in one workflow.
You lose time in search, miss jobs when they first go live, write from scratch too often, and never get a clean read on what is working.
Bidding without structure turns into a daily grind with no way to improve
Scrolling Upwork for hours to find jobs that match your skills. Most of what you see is not a fit.
Spending 20+ connects per proposal on jobs that looked good in the title but turned out to be a poor match.
Every proposal starts blank. You copy-paste from old ones, lose context, and never know if the message resonates.
You send proposals and hope. No view rates, no reply tracking, no way to tell if your approach is improving.
Same control, better structure, measurable results
30+ filters narrow the firehose to jobs that actually match your skills, budget range, and client quality.
Job Qualifier checks skill fit, scope, red flags, and client quality against your rules. You see a score before spending connects.
AI Proposal Generator uses your template plus the specific job to create a tailored starting point. You edit and send.
See which proposals get viewed and replied to. Identify what works, adjust your approach, and get better over time.
Filter the noise, qualify fit, draft faster, send with more confidence, and learn from the results.
30+ filters surface only jobs that match your niche, budget, and client quality.
AI reads the full posting and scores fit against your criteria before you spend connects.
AI Proposal Generator creates a tailored draft from your template and the job context.
Review, edit, and submit. You control every word. The Chrome extension keeps you inside Upwork.
Analytics show view rates, reply rates, and what gets responses. Improve with real data.
fewer wasted connects
AI Qualifier catches bad fits before you spend connects on them.
faster to first draft

FAQ
Manual bidding with Vollna is the right choice when:
1. You want to read and approve every proposal before it goes out
2. You have a niche where personal touch matters more than volume
3. You are building your Upwork presence and want to learn what works first
4. Your proposal volume is under 100/month and you want full control
Automation makes sense when you have a proven manual workflow and want to scale volume beyond what one person can do.
Upwork's built-in alerts have limited filters and arrive late. ChatGPT has no job context, no template system, and no feedback loop.
Vollna connects filtering, qualification, drafting, and analytics in one flow. The proposal generator has your template and the specific job context built in — it does not need a copy-pasted description.
Most users are set up in under 15 minutes:
1. Create an account and install the Chrome extension (3 minutes)
2. Set up your first job filter with your criteria (5 minutes)
3. Connect Slack or Telegram for notifications (2 minutes)
4. Write your qualification prompt and proposal template (5-10 minutes)
You can refine all of these over time. Analytics start working as soon as you begin sending proposals.
No. The Proposal Generator follows your AI Instructions, so it writes the way you want it to write. It learns your tone of voice, how you handle client requirements, how you format portfolio links, and the kind of opening hooks you prefer.
The more specific your instructions, the more natural and personal the proposal sounds.
Users report saving 1-2 hours per day. The biggest savings come from:
Not scrolling through hundreds of irrelevant jobs (filters)
Not reading full descriptions for bad-fit jobs (qualifier)
Not writing every proposal from scratch (generator)
The manual workflow keeps proposal submission in your hands.
The extension supports filtering, context, and drafting, but it does not send proposals or act on your behalf inside Upwork.
No. The manual bidding workflow is available on the Freelancer and Agency plans. Auto Bidding is a separate product for agencies that want to scale beyond manual capacity.
You can use Vollna's full manual workflow without ever using or paying for automation.
Filters, notifications, AI qualifier, proposal generator, and analytics — all in one place. No credit card required.
