Freelance Ghost Detector

Spot ghost clients on Upwork before you waste Connects — instant risk scores on every job.

Stop wasting Connects on clients who were never going to hire. Freelance Ghost Detector reads each Upwork job posting and client profile right on the page and gives you an instant read on whether it's worth your time — before you spend a single Connect on a proposal. WHAT IT DOES Every job card and client profile gets three at-a-glance scores: - Client score — how trustworthy the client looks based on spend, hire rate, reviews, and verification - Job score — how real and well-formed the posting is - Risk score — your overall odds of this being worth applying to Click any score for a full breakdown of the signals behind it — payment verification, hire rate, off-platform red flags, suspiciously low budgets, proposal counts, and more. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT - No automation, no ban risk. It only reads what's already on the page you're viewing. It never calls the Upwork API, never automates actions, never touches your account in a way that could get you flagged. - Private by design. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your data stays on your machine. - Built by a freelancer who got burned by ghost clients and got tired of it. HOW IT WORKS Just browse Upwork like you normally do. Scores appear automatically on search results, saved jobs, and individual job pages. No setup, no login, no configuration. This is early access and free while it's being built. If it saves you Connects, tell me what to improve. If it doesn't, don't pay for it — simple as that.
