Best hipages, Airtasker, ServiceSeeking & Yellow Pages Alternatives (2026)

Whether you're a homeowner looking for a tradie or a trade business looking for work, Australia has several platforms to choose from. They work in very different ways: some charge tradies a monthly membership, some take a cut of every job, some sell leads one at a time, and some are free. Here's how the main ones compare.

1. TradieCorner: free for homeowners and tradies

Homeowners post a job for free and get offers from local tradies, or search the directory by trade and suburb. Tradies list their business free, make offers on as many jobs as they like, and get free quotes, GST invoices, scheduling and customer management. There is no membership, no lead fee and no commission. Post a job · List your business free

Which should you use?

• Homeowners: posting a job is free on all of these, so post on more than one and compare quotes. Always check a tradie's licence with your state regulator.
• Tradies happy to pay for a big brand: hipages or ServiceSeeking memberships.
• Tradies who only want to pay when they win: Airtasker (a fee per job).
• Tradies who don't want to pay at all: TradieCorner, which also gives you free quoting, invoicing and CRM.

Many businesses list in several places. Because TradieCorner is free, it adds another source of local jobs without adding a cost. See all platforms compared side by side.
