How does Build Buddy Compare with Other Platforms?

There are two key differences between Build Buddy and Hipages. 

Build Buddy Pro is the ultimate, one-stop marketplace for tradies - with no upfront fees, tradies can start their business journey with Build Buddy at any time, any where. Hipages involves membership costs from $109 per month and limits the amount of quotes per job to 3 tradies while Build Buddy allows tradies to access an unlimited number of quotes to fill their schedule how they want to. 

We want to give unlimited opportunities to our tradies to access and manage jobs anywhere at any time. 

Build Buddy Pro is designed for certified and verified tradies. Build Buddy allows tradies to receive detailed job requests straight to their inbox and manage their jobs with Build Buddy’s automated process. Airtasker is designed for anyone with or without certifications and users are required to search for jobs suited for them within their application. Airtasker requires users to manage their own jobs independently with no guidance or structure. 

We support our tradies and help them manage their jobs as easily as possible. Our automated process platform gives tradies a head start on managing their quotes and jobs without the stress.

There are two main differences between Build Buddy and Service Seeking in regards to upfront costs and verification.

Build Buddy Pro allows tradies to begin work without any upfront costs, lock-in contracts or quoting fees and requires tradies to be certified and verified for their platform prior to joining. While Service Seeking offers their service with a membership cost from $400 per quarter and has no validation process for their users. 

Build Buddy tradies have their licences certified and verified prior to joining, giving their potential clients peace of mind and the confidence in their tradies. Oneflare however, is not only for tradies and thus anyone without a certification is allowed to use their platform.

Build Buddy Pro is Australia’s online job marketing for trades, suppliers, consultants and contractors. We aim to support tradies in their job management process to allow them to receive more jobs with less effort. 

Our all-in-one platform allows tradies to receive automatic quote requests straight to their inbox, a simple inbox including all documents and communication, a personalised business profile and allows tradies to receive secure automated payments for deposits and invoices.
