Like-for-like quotes

The useful fields stay in the same place.

Checked before quoting

Supplied business and licence details are reviewed.

Timing made visible

See availability and estimated duration early.

Why it works better

Less guesswork before you say yes.

Know what the price buys

Every quote shows the total, availability, duration and inclusions in the same place. Exclusions and site-visit needs stay visible too.

So you can compare the work—not just the number.

Hear from trades who want the job

Trade businesses do not pay to unlock your phone number or spend credits just to quote. They pay 5% only after accepted work is completed.

So the incentive is to win suitable work, not chase a paid lead.

Keep the decision accountable

Trades are checked before quoting. The brief, quote, messages, booking, completion and review stay tied to one job.

So important details do not disappear after you choose.

The honest fit check

Are we right for your job?

Choose TradieLineup if…

Clarity before commitment matters most.

You want to compare scope and timing as carefully as price.
You prefer trade businesses to be checked before they can quote.

Consider another option if…

Reach, free posting or payment protection matters more.

Your priority is requesting quotes without an upfront listing fee.
You need the platform to hold payment or provide task insurance.

The 30-second comparison

Pick the model that suits you.

No marketplace is best at everything. These are the practical differences that should shape your choice.

TradieLineup

Best for: Understanding exactly what each trade is offering before you hire.
Trade-off: Smaller network; homeowners pay 10% to list, or 5% with the $19.95 monthly plan.

hipages

Best for: A large, established home-improvement network with free quote requests.
Trade-off: Trade businesses use subscriptions and credits to accept leads.

Airtasker

Best for: Broad task coverage, held payment and insurance for eligible tasks.
Trade-off: It is not trade-specific; customer connection and tasker service fees apply.

ServiceSeeking

Best for: Requesting multiple quotes across a wide range of services.
Trade-off: The quote experience is less consistently structured for side-by-side comparison.
