How AnyTrade works
No lead-gen runaround, no bait pricing. Post the job, see real numbers, pick a tradie whose rating you can check.
From jobs list to job done
- 01
Post the job — free
Describe what needs doing, where, and roughly what you want to spend. Your address and phone number stay hidden until you hire someone.
- 02
Up to six quotes come back
Local tradies in that trade see your job and quote a real price with a timeframe. We cap it at six so you are not fielding thirty phone calls.
- 03
Compare like for like
Every quote shows the price, whether materials and GST are included, how long it will take, and the tradie’s rating from finished jobs.
- 04
Shortlist, ask questions, hire
Shortlist the ones you like, message them through the job, and accept the quote you want. The others are declined automatically.
- 05
Pay when you are happy
Pay the tradie directly, or fund the job into escrow so the money is held until you sign it off. Escrow costs 7.5% and nothing if you pay direct.
- 06
Rate each other
Once the job is signed off, you rate the tradie and the tradie rates you. Ratings only come from completed jobs.
Both sides get rated
Same idea as a rideshare app. After sign-off, each side rates the other out of five — and both ratings are public.
You rate the tradie
One overall score out of five, plus a score on each of these:
- · Quality of work
- · Turned up on time
- · Value for money
- · Communication
- · Left it tidy
Then tap any compliments that fit:
The tradie rates you
Good customers get quicker quotes and keener prices. Tradies score you on how the job actually went:
Tradies can publicly reply to any review of them. Nothing is deleted quietly — flagged reviews go to a human moderator.
Winning the work
Leads that match your trade
Your feed only shows open jobs in the trades and suburbs you listed, that you have not already quoted on.
You choose what to spend
Read the whole job before you commit. A credit is only deducted when you actually submit a quote.
Quote properly, not cheaply
Your quote shows your rating, jobs completed, whether materials are included and any warranty. Cheapest does not always win here.
Keep your invoice
No commission. The only fee is on escrowed payments, and that comes out of the platform side, disclosed up front.
Get verified
Send us your licence and insurance and we badge your listing. Verified tradies rank above unverified ones in search.
Build a rating that sells
Ratings come from finished jobs only. A handful of five-star jobs will out-earn any amount of advertising.
