How to Use a Textbroker Bidding Bot to Claim More Orders (2025)
April 2, 2025
Textbroker is a content writing marketplace with a unique structure: writers claim open orders from a pool, rather than bidding competitively. That makes speed — not pitch quality — the deciding factor in who wins the best orders. A Textbroker bidding bot automates this claiming process, allowing you to capture high-value assignments the moment they appear. This guide explains how it works, why Vumonk is uniquely positioned here, and how to configure your bot for maximum results.
How Textbroker's Order System Works
Unlike platforms where writers submit proposals that clients review, Textbroker operates a direct-claim model. Clients post orders with a set rate, and writers who meet the quality level simply take the order first. This means the writer who sees the order first and acts fastest wins — no pitch, no competition, no waiting.
Important Distinction
Vumonk offers separate dedicated bots for Textbroker UK and Textbroker US — the only provider on the market covering both. If you write for both platforms, you need both bots running independently.
What a Textbroker Bot Does
- Monitors the Textbroker open order pool continuously
- Filters orders by category, word count, and rate thresholds you configure
- Claims matching orders automatically before other writers see them
- Runs in background mode on Windows and Linux
- Supports both Textbroker UK (textbroker.co.uk) and Textbroker US (textbroker.com)
Setting Up Your Textbroker Bot
- Subscribe to Textbroker UK, Textbroker US, or both on your Vumonk dashboard
- Download the installer for your platform (Windows or Linux)
- Enter your Textbroker credentials and configure your order filters
- Set minimum rate threshold — only claim orders above a certain word rate
- Configure preferred topic categories to avoid irrelevant orders
- Activate the bot and let it claim matching orders automatically
Textbroker UK vs Textbroker US: Which Should You Automate?
Both platforms share the same claiming model but serve different client bases. Textbroker UK tends to have orders focused on British English content, local SEO, and UK-specific topics. Textbroker US has higher order volume overall, with a broad range of content types. If you write comfortably in both, running bots for both simultaneously maximizes your exposure.
Pricing: Textbroker UK bot is $9/month. Textbroker US bot is $11/month. Both include Windows and Linux support.

Configure your category and topic filters carefully to only claim orders in your areas of expertise. Setting a minimum word rate also helps filter out low-value orders that may not be worth your time.
Does the Textbroker bot work for team accounts?
Each subscription is tied to one Textbroker account login. For team accounts, contact Vumonk support for guidance.
Why does no other provider offer a Textbroker bot?
Textbroker has a more restrictive API and a unique claiming model that requires specialized development. Vumonk's team built dedicated integrations for both Textbroker UK and US — a development investment that most competitors haven't made.
