No, there is not for a basic membership.  However to propose on a job you need a number of connects (2,4,6 even though officially it's 1-6).  Connects cost $0.15 per connect and have to be bought in bundles.

Connects will be sold in bundles:

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

There have been two recent(ish) changes in that there are no longer free connects given monthly (and jobs cost more than 2 connects).  You can read more about it here:

Most important points:

No free connects monthly

New accounts get a one time allotment of 20

Getting noticed as a Rising Talent gets you one time allotement of 30

 

So, nothing on a monthly cost but applying for projects is not free.
