Note:
We've added two new perks to support your business:
- Upwork Chat Pro powered by Uma™, Upwork’s Mindful AI: Agency owners get full access to an AI tool built right into the Upwork platform (some agency freelancers may have limited access as we test this feature)
- Boosted Profile: Agency members can use agency Connects to boost their profile to get noticed faster and earn more. Boosting with your agency’s Connects sets your agency as the freelancer’s preferred agency, and your agency will display on their profile
Being your home for work means giving you options that match how you work. For agencies, that option is Agency Plus, a $19.99 USD per month subscription that lets you build and manage an agency on Upwork.
