Freelancer acquisition is challenging
That's what 2 recent studies show*
The DACH freelance market in 2026 is
tougher than ever.
Your inbox as a time sink
Agents flood you with inquiries - many vague, many without a real project behind them. 38% of freelancers report CV shopping, 52% experience ghosting after sending their profile.
DealFilter cuts through the noise.
Uncertainty about your hourly rate
Too high and you lose the project. Too low and you leave money on the table. And you never see how much the agent adds on top.
DealFilter estimates the market rate for every inquiry. Before you reply.
No overview of active applications
Multiple agents, parallel processes, no feedback. Who has my CV? What was the status again?
DealFilter tracks every step and automatically matches follow-up emails.
Evaluate. Prioritize. Reply.
Every inquiry gets a score from 0 to 100 in seconds. Tech stack, remote share, duration, and market rate are automatically detected - critical factors flagged instantly.
Track. Compare. Negotiate.
DealFilter automatically detects when an inquiry goes quiet. Ghosting indicators, follow-up reminders, and expiry alerts - so no deal dies unnoticed.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions freelancers most often have before signing up.
You've been doing it manually because there was no better option. With 20 inquiries a month at 25 minutes each, you're spending over 8 hours on admin work you could otherwise bill at your hourly rate. DealFilter significantly reduces that effort at equal or better response quality.
Then Essential is built for you: up to 20 analyses per month for €29/month. The savings per inquiry stay the same, and you gain protection against the small but costly mistakes: no missed follow-ups, no duplicate inquiry accepted unknowingly, no wrong salutation in a reply.
GDPR compliant, servers in Frankfurt (eu-central-1), encrypted transmission. Your inquiries and profiles are never used to train external AI models. You can download your data as an export at any time, and if you cancel, everything is permanently deleted after 90 days.
On day 15 your chosen subscription starts automatically, but we'll remind you by email 2 days before. If DealFilter isn't for you, cancel with one click inside your account - no charge, no questions. Your active subscription can be cancelled at any time at the end of the billing period.
freelancermap, GULP and the rest deliver project inquiries to you. DealFilter processes them. We're not an alternative to the portals - we're the layer on top, regardless of where your inquiries come from. You keep your existing portal accounts and add DealFilter as a productivity layer.
You can add inquiries manually or via AI with copy & paste.
Yes, as a business with a valid VAT ID you only pay the net amount. Our payment partner Polar Software, Inc. is based in the US, so EU businesses with a valid VAT ID qualify for the reverse charge mechanism. Enter your VAT ID at checkout so no VAT is charged. Individuals and businesses without a VAT ID pay the gross price including applicable local VAT.
Your invoice is issued automatically by Polar - our payment partner. Polar acts as merchant of record and handles payment and invoicing. DealFilter is a product of omninoo GmbH; your contractual relationship for using the software is with omninoo GmbH.

Founder, DealFilter.ai
Hi, I'm Robin. For more than 25 years I've been working as a freelancer (Java backend developer) in the DACH market, and every project search brings the same frustration: lots of inquiries in parallel, but nothing worth pursuing. Different communication channels - portals, agent websites, emails, phone - make it impossible to keep track. First I got tired of scraps of paper, then of my ever-growing Excel sheets. CV fishing, agents who never call back, the same project arriving via four different contractors with different terms, some without a staffing license and without disclosing it.
As a software developer I love automation, structure, and AI assistance. That's how DealFilter came to be.
I keep building it because I use it myself. And because I know you're probably staring at the same inbox right now.
