How SureTrade works
From first idea to finished work, SureTrade makes finding the right tradesperson simple, safe, and fast. Here's how it works.
Describe your project
Answer a few questions about what you need. Our AI assistant helps shape a clear brief in minutes.
We verify and match
We match your project to verified local tradespeople with the right trade, coverage, and trust score.
Chat directly
Message matched tradespeople to discuss the job, share photos, and agree on scope.
Book the right one
Choose who feels right. Arrange a visit, agree terms, and get the work done.
Fair, straightforward commercials
We designed SureTrade so both sides of the marketplace can get real value without feeling nickel-and-dimed. Here's what each side pays for — and what they don't.
For homeowners
Only pay for what you unlock
AI project builder is free
Use our AI assistant to turn a rough idea into a clear, detailed brief at no cost. No credit card required.
Free sign-up and browsing
Create an account and browse your verified matches with previews, ratings, and coverage info without paying a penny.
Pay only when you unlock
Buy tokens when you are ready to unlock a tradesperson’s full profile and start a conversation. Only pay for the matches you actually want to speak to.
No hidden fees or commission
We never add commission on top of your quote or take a cut of the work. The price your tradesperson agrees is the price you pay them.
For tradespeople
Free to join, free leads
Free to sign up and verify
Creating a profile, completing verification and appearing in matches is completely free. No joining fees, no onboarding costs.
Free leads, forever
Unlike most platforms, you never pay per lead. When a homeowner unlocks your profile and reaches out, the conversation is yours at no extra cost.
Subscription only for finance jobs
Only pay a subscription if you want to appear in finance-backed projects — typically higher-value jobs where homeowners are pre-qualified. Standard leads stay free.
Cancel anytime
The finance tier is month-to-month. Pause, downgrade, or cancel whenever you like — your free profile and standard leads remain active.
We keep exact prices on our pricing and account pages so they're always up to date. The principle stays the same: homeowners only pay when they unlock a match, and tradespeople only pay if they opt into the finance tier.
From first hello to finished job — all in one place
Once you're matched, everything that follows lives inside SureTrade. No switching to texts, emails or scattered calendars — the whole job is tracked in one conversation.
In-platform messaging
Every conversation happens in our secure chat — share photos, clarify scope, and keep a full record of what was agreed. No missed texts, no lost email threads.
Propose and confirm bookings
Tradespeople can send booking proposals directly inside the chat with a date, time and scope. Homeowners accept, decline, or suggest a new time in a single tap.
Everything scheduled in one place
Once accepted, the job shows up on both sides with a shared timeline — site visit, start date, progress updates and completion — so nobody has to chase.
Reviews close the loop
After the work is done, homeowners leave a verified review tied to a real booking. This keeps the network honest and rewards great tradespeople with more visibility.
