Flat monthly subscriptions for tradies. Tiered job posting for construction companies. No per-lead fees, no surprises.
Every tradie who joins during our launch period keeps a permanent Founding Tradie badge and pays nothing — even after pricing turns on for new signups.
One subscription, apply to as many jobs as you want. No paying $30–$80 each time you quote — and no leads shared with 4 other tradies.
We check ABNs against the ABR and licences against NSW Fair Trading + QBCC in real time. The verified badge means something.
50+ trade categories, 16,000+ suburbs, AU phone-number checks, postcode-aware matchmaking. Not a US tool retrofitted.
