How is Get Trady different from Checkatrade, MyBuilder, Rated People or Bark?
The biggest difference is how payment works. On many marketplaces, you pay the tradesperson directly and the platform charges a fee just for the lead.
On Get Trady, your payment is held in escrow by Stripe until the work is done, and the tradesperson is paid only once you've approved it. If there's a problem, your money stays protected in escrow while it's sorted out. We call it "only pay when you get paid" — and it works the same way for both sides.
There are no subscriptions, no pay-per-lead, and no listing fees.
