Should I disclose my budget?

It's optional, and it depends on the matching flow. For Instant Book jobs, you'll see the tradesperson's set price before you pick — what's priced is what you pay, so a budget isn't necessary. For Application jobs, sharing a rough budget can help. Tradespeople use it to decide whether the job is a fit before they spend time on a quote. If your budget is well below the going rate for the work, expect fewer applications; if it's in the right range, you'll usually see better-matched quotes more quickly.
