Connects pricing

[vladikdx]

I can't understand how much cost a connect? 

In this page it says the price is $0.15 

https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211062898-Use-Connects

But in the plans page, it says $1 per connect (WAY TO MUCHHHH)

So what is going on, what is the right price?

That’s the old plus plan, which will go away on June 25. Until then, if you’re a plus member and used all your connects, you can still buy them for $1 each.

So after the 25th June, the price will be 0.15$ ?

Hi Vlad, 

Once you have moved to paid connects, connects will cost $0.15 each. Please note that when you have moved to paid connects, you will be able to purchase connects in bundles:

• 10 for $1.50
• 20 for $3
• 40 for $6
• 60 for $9
• 80 for $12

You can view FAQs about paid Connects and a video explaining the change from our Head of Product, here.

I have moved to the plus plan, and it's the 25th.

My connects still cost $1.

Hi Vlad,

I`m sorry about the confusion. Just to confirm that you`re still on our old connect plan, once you`re moved to our new one which will be very soon connects will cost $0.15. Thank you.

[vladikdx]

It should be today right?

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Vlad,

Unfortunately I`m not sure. Once you`re moved to our new Connect plan the price per connect will be reduced to 15 cents. Thank you.

[vladikdx]

How can I move to the new plan? I can't understand...

Hi Vlad,

We are gradually moving freelancers to paid Connects. You will receive an email reminder before this takes place. You’ll also see a pop-up notification in your Upwork account once your account is moved to paid Connects. Thank you.

[vladikdx]

There is any way to make the process faster? I moved to the plus only because I thought I will have connects for $0.15 cents.

[g_vasilevski]

Hi Vlad,

I understand your frustration with this but unfortunately we can't expedite this.  Once you`re moved to our new plan the price for the Plus plan will be changed to $14.99 and you will also see a notification on your home page about it. Thank you.

Is this the same plan for now?

We truly appreciate you reaching out. We understand that you wanted to get an update on this old thread. For the Freelancer Basic Plan, Connects cost $0.15 (USD) each and are sold in bundles of 10, 20, 40, 60, or 80.
