Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Retool & Internal Tools freelancers charge per hour?
Retool & Internal Tools freelance work posts at a median of $30 per hour, measured by DevSnipe from 27 Upwork job postings over the 30 days ending September 29, 2026. The middle half of Retool & Internal Tools postings fall between $20 and $48 per hour, and the top 10 percent pay $75 per hour or more. These are the rates clients advertise in the posting itself, not the rates freelancers negotiate afterwards, so read the median as the market's opening position.
Is Retool & Internal Tools work usually priced hourly or fixed-price?
Retool & Internal Tools work on Upwork is predominantly hourly. DevSnipe found 27 Retool & Internal Tools postings with a stated hourly rate over the 30 days ending September 29, 2026, but fewer than 25 with a stated fixed-price budget, which is too few to publish a median from. A freelancer quoting Retool & Internal Tools work should expect the client to have an hourly range in mind rather than a project total.
Does Retool & Internal Tools pay more than other AI automation skills?
Retool & Internal Tools ranks number 8 of 17 among the AI automation skill categories DevSnipe can measure, at a median of $30 per hour over the 30 days ending September 29, 2026. The highest-paying category is Data Pipelines & ETL at $33 per hour, a difference of $3 per hour. Only categories with at least 25 Upwork postings in the window are ranked, because a median over fewer postings than that is noise rather than a signal.
How many Retool & Internal Tools freelance jobs get posted?
DevSnipe recorded 27 Retool & Internal Tools Upwork postings carrying a stated hourly rate in the 30 days ending September 29, 2026. The real posting volume is higher, because that count excludes every Retool & Internal Tools posting that named no budget at all, and it excludes the other job boards DevSnipe tracks. Job boards outside Upwork are left out of the rate figures because Upwork is the only one that states whether a number is hourly or per project on effectively every posting DevSnipe captures.
Where do these Retool & Internal Tools rate figures come from?
DevSnipe collects public freelance job postings continuously and parses the rate out of each posting's own stated budget. The Retool & Internal Tools figures on this page cover Upwork postings only, over a rolling 30-day window, and are recalculated every hour. Upwork is used alone because its postings state the unit on effectively every record DevSnipe captures, as in "$30.00 - $50.00/hour" or "$550.00/project". Records from the other boards mostly arrive without one: Freelancer's carry a bare amount with no unit at all, and Indeed's are largely periodic salary figures rather than rates, so pooling them would average a yearly salary against an hourly rate. Postings with no captured unit are dropped rather than guessed at, and where a posting states a range DevSnipe uses the midpoint.
