What is TruffleGig?
A freelance job market dashboard. It shows posted rates, crowding, and demand so freelancers and clients can decide with numbers.
Is this Upwork?
No. Not affiliated with Upwork. We analyze Upwork job-post data for rates and crowding. Not a place to apply.
How are Upwork rates calculated?
For jobs with a visible hourly band we use the midpoint of posted min and max. Tables show p25, p50 (median), and p75 over the last 30 days.
What is crowding / median applicants?
Median applicants is the typical proposal count on a job in that slice. Crowding is Low (under 10), Typical (10–19), or High (20+). It is not how many freelancers have the skill.
How often does the data update?
The site shows a baked snapshot of the latest 30-day insight window, refreshed after each fetch and export.
Will other job sites be added?
Yes. Upwork is the current source. The product is freelance market data; other boards can be added later.
