Why we charge
Free platforms are broken
They fill with spam, bots, fake accounts, and people who never follow through. A small fee keeps the network clean and everyone serious.
Membership keeps it serious
Because both sides have skin in the game, tradespeople don't get blasted with mass messages, and masters don't drown in unserious requests.
The math works for everyone
For employers, one good hire pays for the platform many times over. For tradespeople, $10 a month is trivial next to the jobs and connections it unlocks.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about pricing.
Do you charge per hire or placement fees?
Never. No commissions, no placement fees, and no percentage of wages. Once you connect, you deal directly with each other. TradeHire's only revenue is the flat fees listed above.
What is the technician $10/month membership?
Browsing and applying to jobs is always free. The $10/month membership is what lets you schedule interviews with employers, send quotes beyond 10 per month, and reach out to master technicians. Job interviews themselves cost you nothing. Mentor calls are $25 per completed call, with no fee to request. You can cancel anytime.
Why do you charge at all?
The fees keep the network serious. Free platforms fill with spam, bots, and people who never follow through. When membership costs something, both sides know the other person means business.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly subscriptions (technician membership, employer) can be cancelled at any time. Free-tier accounts have no subscriptions to cancel.
Is my identity protected?
Yes. Technicians are anonymized by default (shown only as TH-ID). Your real name and contact info are revealed only after you accept a connection request. You're always in control.
