Tradie

How it works

One app for work, hiring and home services

Choose what you want to do. Each path takes a few minutes to start, in your own language.

For workers

If you want work

  1. 1

    Register with your mobile number

    One code by SMS. No password and no English forms.

  2. 2

    Tell Tradie your skills, area and free hours

    Speak or tap. Tradie reads each answer back to you to confirm.

  3. 3

    Accept the offers that suit you

    Every offer shows the pay, travel, fee and your take-home before you say yes.

  4. 4

    Do the job and get paid

    Check in and out on the app. Your take-home goes to your bank account or UPI ID.

For businesses

If you run a business or a site

  1. 1

    Post what you need

    One helper for a day or a crew of 20 for a month: role, number of workers, dates, site and pay.

  2. 2

    Verified workers accept

    Workers see your verification badge and the full pay before they accept.

  3. 3

    Track attendance

    See who has checked in, who is late and which places are still open.

  4. 4

    Pay for the days worked

    You fund each booking in advance. Pay is released to workers for every day of verified attendance.

For households

If you need a job done at home

  1. 1

    Choose a service and a pro

    Compare verification, rating, arrival time and price.

  2. 2

    Pay in advance, held safely

    You pay the price shown when you book. Tradie holds it until the job is done.

  3. 3

    The pro does the job

    Track their arrival. They check in and check out on the app.

  4. 4

    Confirm and rate

    Rate 4 stars or more and the pro is paid. Below 4 stars, tell us what went wrong and we check it.

Payment protection

The money is held until the job is done

Customers pay in advance, so the pro knows the money is there. The pro is paid when the work is confirmed, so the customer knows they get what they paid for.

  1. 01

    Book and pay

    The full price is paid in advance and held by Tradie through PayU.

  2. 02

    Job done

    The pro checks in, checks out and marks the job complete.

  3. 03

    Confirm and rate

    The customer has 24 hours to confirm the job and give a rating.

4 or 5 stars

Paid to the pro

The money is released straight away and reaches the pro within 24 hours.

Below 4 stars

Checked by our team

The customer gives a reason and can add photos, and the pro can reply. Our team checks the job record and decides within 48 hours.

No answer

Released automatically

If the customer does not respond within 24 hours, the job counts as done and the pro is paid.

Checks that keep it fair for pros

A low rating cannot be used to avoid paying for work that was done.

  • A rating below 4 stars needs a reason. It starts a review. It never cancels the payment on its own.
  • Check-in and check-out times, location during the job, photos and messages are the record our team uses to decide.
  • If the work was done as booked, the pro is paid in full, whatever the rating.
  • If part of the work was not done, only that part is refunded. A full refund is given only when the job was not done at all.
  • Customers whose complaints are often not upheld lose the hold: their payments go to the pro straight away, and repeated misuse can close the account.
  • Once a payment is released, a later rating or complaint cannot take it back from the pro.
