Bidding is always free to try. We charge a platform fee only when a project is awarded to you, deducted from your payout. Upgrade to lower or eliminate that fee.

Basic pays for itself when…
1 extra bid lands per month
Same 10% fee, unlimited bids. Win one job that the 3-bid cap would have blocked and you're ahead for the month.
Projects Pro breaks even vs Basic at…
~$520/mo awarded
$52 extra subscription ÷ 10% fee savings = $520 in awarded project value per month.
Homeowners are never charged a platform fee
Homeowners pay only the bid amount plus Stripe's standard 2.9% card processing fee, passed through at cost with no markup. The platform fee above is deducted from the contractor's payout only.
Premium does not affect your search ranking
Your position in search results is determined by distance, review score, and profile completeness, not by whether you pay us. Premium Business improves how your profile looks to customers who are already viewing it. We believe this distinction matters, and we're committed to keeping it.
Learn exactly how rankings work →When does upgrading pay off?
The free tier is a real starting point, not a crippled demo. But as your project volume grows, upgrading stops being an expense and starts being a no-brainer.
Free → Basic
You keep winning jobs
Three bids a month fills up fast when business is good. Basic removes the cap entirely, giving you unlimited bids at the same 10% rate. Win one extra bid that the cap would have blocked and it pays for itself.
Basic → Projects Pro
Projects are your main channel
When you're landing consistent project work, the 10% fee on every payout adds up fast. Projects Pro wipes it out entirely. At higher volumes, the savings dwarf the subscription cost.
Projects Pro → Premium
You want both products
Premium is the all-in plan: zero project fees, unlimited bids, plus the full directory upgrade with photos, badges, lead notifications, and everything that makes your profile the one customers choose.
