Description from store

🎂 Never get catfished by a freelancer again.

Somewhere in those 150 AI-generated proposals are 3 brilliant humans who could 10x your project. Good luck finding them without us.

CakeOrFake is the BS detector Upwork won't build. We instantly separate real freelancers (cake) from decorated foam (fake) so you can stop playing detective and start building.

âš¡ WHAT IT DOES
- What took 12 hours now takes one click
- Exposes copy-paste proposals before you waste time
- Spots portfolio thieves and review farmers
- Shows you the red flags seasoned hirers see
- Gives you instant cake or fake verdict

✅ REAL RESULTS
- 4 hours of screening → 4 minutes
- 150 proposals → 5 real candidates
- Guessing → Knowing

🚀 HOW IT WORKS
1. Browse Upwork normally
2. Click the CakeOrFake icon on any profile
3. Get instant verification
4. Hire humans, not actors

💡 WHY IT EXISTS
The platforms profit from confusion. More proposals = more fees. They have zero incentive to help you find real talent faster.

We're different. We're the trust layer the platforms refuse to build.

🎯 PERFECT FOR
- Founders drowning in fake proposals
- Project managers tired of detective work
- Anyone who values their time over platform profits
- Humans who want to hire humans

No black boxes. No trust scores you don't understand. Just brutal honesty about who's real and who's not.

---
Stop gambling. Start knowing.
Make remote hiring about talent, not detective work.

Install CakeOrFake. Separate the cake from the fake. 🎂

Was skeptical until it caught portfolio mismatches I would've missed. After installing it nothing happened, I thought the plugin was broken. Then I figured out, you need to actually be on an Upwork page for it to kick in. Already helped me avoid a hire that looked great on paper but had major red flags. Would love more detail in the breakdowns but it's already saving me time and money. Recommended!
