Navigating Getmany and Gigradar: What to Expect

Switching between different products might feel like moving to a new home. And moving is always a bit of a drag. Whether you're headed across the country or just a few streets over, it never really feels like fun. And surprisingly, the biggest annoyance isn't the packing, the cleaning, or even the unpacking. Nope, it's all those new routines you have to figure out. Think about it: your silverware still goes in a kitchen drawer, but now that drawer is on the left of the sink, not the right. Retraining your muscle memory, which stubbornly insists on reaching right, can take a minute!

Gigradar and Getmany might feel pretty similar at first. But then you notice that the user interface isn't quite the same, your old workflows don't match up perfectly, and there are some essential differences to get used to.

But don't worry! If you've recently moved to Getmany (or are considering doing so), this article will help you understand the differences and similarities. We want Getmany to feel like home as quickly as possible.

And the best part? If you decide to give us a try, you can bring all your existing settings along. Just reach out to us, and we'll guide you through the process.

With Getmany, you get access to a tool we call the Job Search Engine. Like the Scanners feature in Gigradar, it lets you set up job searches by specifying what you're looking for.

But our Job Search Engine is more functional, offering you greater control with advanced job parsing capabilities, detailed filters, and a feature called Focused Search. This feature operates as an additional layer of filtering, complementing the existing filters and defined skills, and works on Title, Description, or both combined.

Our Budget filter simplifies setting your preferred rate for projects, while the Client filter tailors search results to align with the client's hiring preferences, such as Hire Type and Experience Level.

And! Setting up new job searches is super easy—click a button, input your skills, and you're done. The system saves everything automatically, making your workflow simple. Check out this article to learn more about our Job Search Engine.

Both platforms feature dashboards, but they focus on different metrics. Gigradar shows basic job creation stats and acronyms, while Getmany prioritizes detailed proposal statistics, including their current Upwork status and performance breakdowns by proposal and teammate.

Plus, we replace obscure metrics with straightforward terms:

This clarity ensures that even those new to the platform or to lead generation can understand their data at a glance. We also provide insights into Connects expenditure, the number of offers and offer rates, and more, making our tools accessible and easy to use.

We display a condensed version of job listings based on your settings, which you can expand to view full job details. You'll also see the number of Connects needed to bid on each job and can share job postings externally.

Alerts in Getmany are active by default. Make sure you add our bot to your preferred messenger group or channel and input the command for the job search in question.

Getmany’s bidding process is designed step-by-step to help you focus on one aspect at a time, preventing information overload. Similarly to Gigradar, you start by choosing the time and the bidder’s profile. But that’s where the similarity ends.

The cover letter step is aligned with the type of bidding you choose. If you go with Template, you will have to add your own true and trusted cover letters (you can add more than one). But! If you decide to go with AI-generating bidding, you can generate them using our prompting engine and your meta prompts. Moreover, you can get a preview of your AI-generated cover letter and adjust the prompt if you need to change something.

As you proceed to the client’s questions, Getmany offers you several options to utilize: you can simply provide general information about your agency’s expertise and let AI do the job of generating appropriate answers, you can choose to provide direct answers to the most frequently asked questions in the chosen job category, or you can directly provide specific questions you expect to have in the job posting and answer them yourself. You can also go with all three options because the more data you provide, the higher are the chances of you landing the gig.

Then you simply add a custom delay if needed and activate your bid. Once active, a concise data overview allows you to modify any step. Learn more about our Bidding feature here.

Gigradar displays platform usage details under the Home tab, while Getmany integrates this information into the Plan & Payment section of your Account Settings. Here, you can monitor your credit usage, update payment details, and switch between plans as needed. Read more about our credit system and usage here.
