Frequently asked questions

For homeowners

Is it free to post a job on TradieCorner?
Yes. Posting a job and receiving quotes from local tradies is free for households and businesses.
What kinds of jobs can I post?
Home and business jobs across common trades - plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting, landscaping, cleaning, roofing, fencing, tiling, air conditioning and more.
How do I get quotes from local tradies?
Describe the job and your suburb. Local tradies who do that kind of work can then send you a quote, which you can compare side by side.
Can I look for a tradie myself instead?
Yes. You can search the TradieCorner directory by trade and suburb, view profiles and contact businesses directly.
How do I find a tradie in my suburb?
Use the directory search with your suburb or postcode, or browse a trade page such as plumbers or electricians and filter by location.
How do I list my business in the directory?
Use the free 'List your business' form. If you give an email address, confirm it and your listing goes live straight away.

For businesses

Is the Starter plan really free?
Yes — Starter is genuinely free, not a time-limited trial. There's no countdown, no forced upgrade and no expiry date. You can run your business on it for as long as it fits.
Do I need a credit card for the free plan?
No. You can create an account and use the Starter plan indefinitely without ever entering a card. We only ask for payment details if and when you choose to upgrade to Business or Growth.
Is the free plan suitable for a sole trader or sole proprietor?
Yes. If you're a sole trader working solo, the free Starter plan is built for exactly that: 1 user, up to 5 customers, up to 100 jobs and up to 100 quotes & invoices a month — enough for most solo operators to never need to pay.
What's included in the free Starter plan?
Leads, quotes and jobs, task management, invoicing with tax built in, calendar & team scheduling, the web app, and email support — all included at no cost, up to the Starter plan's usage limits.
Can I upgrade from the free plan later without losing my data?
Yes. Upgrading to Business or Growth is instant and keeps all your existing customers, jobs, quotes and invoices — you're just unlocking more users and higher usage limits.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No — the Starter plan is free, no card required. Add one only when you're ready to invite a team or upgrade.
Can I use my own currency and tax rate?
Yes. Currency, tax label and tax rate are all set per business, so it works whether you charge GST, VAT or sales tax.
How many people can use one account?
Starter is single-user. Business supports up to 5 team members and Growth up to 15, each with their own role and permissions.
Is my business data kept separate from other businesses?
Yes. Every account's data is isolated at the database level with row-level security, not just filtered in the app — so cross-account access isn't possible through normal use.
Can my team use it from their phones?
Yes. The whole workspace — leads, quotes, jobs, invoices — works from a phone browser, built for people on the tools, not at a desk.
