Is Rank My Builder free for homeowners?
Homeowner
Yes — Rank My Builder is free for homeowners, with no catch. You won't be charged to post a job, to get quotes, or to message and hire a tradesperson. Here's how that works and why it stays fair.
What's free for you
Posting a job, receiving up to 5 quotes, messaging tradespeople through the platform, hiring, and leaving a review are all free. There's no membership, no booking fee and no commission taken from you.
You don't even need to share your phone number or email to start — you can deal with trades through the platform until you're ready to take it offline.
How the platform makes money
Tradespeople pay a small amount to send a quote — one bid token per quote. That's the only way the platform earns, so it has no reason to mark up your job or push you towards anyone in particular.
Because trades pay per quote and every job is capped at 5 quotes, they're selective about which jobs they bid on. That tends to mean more considered quotes for you, not a flood of copy-paste ones.
FAQs
Will I be charged a fee if I hire someone?
No. There's no commission, finder's fee or booking fee for homeowners. You agree the price directly with the tradesperson and pay them, not us.
Is there a catch with it being free?
No catch. The platform is paid for by tradespeople buying bid tokens to quote. That's a normal, transparent model and it's why posting a job costs you nothing.
