Why Pro pays for itself

Instant alerts beat the daily digest

Free pros see new jobs in a weekly email. Pro pros get a ping the moment a matching job is posted — and the early bid almost always wins.

The blue ✓ converts at 2–3× the rate

Homeowners pick verified pros first. Your bid shows up with the badge on every listing, message, and search result — instant credibility without uploading a single doc.

Higher ranking on every search

Pro listings sort above free pros in homeowner search. More eyeballs, more conversations, more accepted bids.

A fraction of what the lead-fee sites charge

Per-lead platforms (Angi, Thumbtack, HomeAdvisor) charge $15–$100 every time a homeowner contacts you — whether you win the job or not. HandyBid Pro is a flat monthly bet on yourself.

Volume Lead-fee platform (avg $40/lead) HandyBid Pro (annual)
10 bids/mo$400/mo$24.17/mo
25 bids/mo$1,000/mo$24.17/mo
50 bids/mo$2,000/mo$24.17/mo

Common questions

Do I have to pay to bid?

No. Bidding on HandyBid is free for every contractor. Pro adds the badge, instant alerts, and ranking boost — it accelerates your win rate, but you can use the platform indefinitely without it.

Does HandyBid take a cut of my bids?

No. There is no per-job take rate, no commission, and no payment held in escrow. Homeowners pay you directly per the contract that's generated when they accept your bid. Pro is the only thing we charge contractors.

What if I already pay for Verified or Alerts separately?

You're grandfathered — your existing $20/mo subscription keeps working and keeps granting the same benefits. When you upgrade to Pro, cancel the legacy plan in the Stripe billing portal so you don't double-pay.

Can I cancel?

Yes — monthly and annual cancel anytime through the Stripe billing portal. You keep access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for. Lifetime is non-refundable but never expires.

What happens when all 500 Founder spots are gone?

Lifetime closes permanently. Monthly and annual remain available at the same prices. Anyone who already bought Lifetime keeps it forever; we don't revoke or reissue.

Are you a homeowner? Posting jobs on HandyBid is free, forever.
