What does it cost me?
Nothing. The app is free, for customers and for tradies. What the job costs is between you and the tradie — they quote you directly and you pay them directly, exactly as you would if you had rung them. Tradie2U never takes a payment and never asks for a card.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. It takes about a minute, there is no card, and it is what lets a tradie answer you. A tradie sees your name, number and address only once they have accepted your job.
What if the tradie never gets back to me?
Nobody gets to leave you on read. The offer runs out on its own — 15 minutes if you need someone now, two hours for today, twelve for tomorrow. A job for now or today then moves on to the next matching tradie nearby, one at a time, never all at once. If nobody can take it, or it was for tomorrow, you are told and you pick again. A job you send to your own tradie never moves on: it comes back to you. Either way, it never sits there looking live when nobody is coming.
Is it only electricians?
No. Electricians, plumbers, tilers, painters, carpenters, builders, bricklayers, handymen and cleaners have tradies on the map today, and so do flooring, caulking and pressure washing. Every other trade in the app goes live the moment somebody joins. Whatever you search for, the map shows you who actually covers you rather than a promise.
Can a tradie see exactly where I live?
Not until they have accepted your job. Before that they see your suburb and a rough distance — no name, no phone number, no address. Those appear the moment they say yes, and not a second earlier.
What do customers see of a tradie?
A circle, not a pin on a doorstep. Positions are snapped to a fixed ~500 m grid before they ever leave the server, and distance and radius are measured from that snapped point — so no amount of searching narrows it down. A tradie is on the map only in the work hours they set, and around their home it is a wide area, never their street. The one exception is a job of yours: once the tradie who took it taps "On my way" and chooses to share, you see where they are until they mark the job done, or sooner if the app sees them arrive.
Can I get it now?
Yes, both. It is on the App Store and on Google Play, and every button on this page goes straight to the listing for the phone you are holding. It is free, there is no card to enter, and signing up takes about a minute.
