At MyTradesShop, we know that every trade business operates differently. Whether you are a sole trader looking for occasional local jobs or an established firm needing a steady pipeline of work, our platform provides flexible, transparent pricing designed around your schedule and budget.
Account Plans & Flexible Pricing Options
You can choose between a monthly subscription tier or a flexible Pay As You Go model. Both options allow full control over your expenditure without long-term commitments.
1. Rolling Monthly Memberships (Free 1-Month Trial)
Our subscription plans offer discounted lead rates, priority notifications, and exclusive platform features. Key advantages include:
- No Long-Term Contracts: Memberships operate on a flexible, rolling month-to-month basis with freedom to cancel anytime.
- Free 1-Month Trial: Test out all subscription benefits for 30 days at zero cost before committing.
- Tiered Plans: View current monthly membership packages by logging into your account dashboard or visiting the Membership Portal.
2. Pay As You Go (PAYG)
If you prefer to purchase work only when your schedule has availability, the Pay As You Go plan is ideal. There are no recurring platform fees—you pay strictly for the job leads you choose to unlock.
How Job Credits & Bundles Work
Platform job leads are priced using a standardized Credit System. Tradespeople purchase credits in advance and redeem them instantly when unlocking homeowner contact details.
Credit Bundles
Whether you are subscribed to a monthly plan or using PAYG, you can purchase credit bundles in various sizes. Buying larger credit packs lowers your cost per credit, maximizing your profit margins on completed jobs.
Do Job Credits Expire?
Yes. Purchased job credits remain active for 6 months (180 days) from the purchase date. Unused credits will automatically expire after this period, so we encourage purchasing pack sizes aligned with your quarterly workload.
Legacy Billing Notice (£ Pound System Transition)
If your account currently displays lead prices directly in local currency (£ GBP) rather than credits, your profile is on our legacy system. All accounts are gradually being migrated to the unified Credit System to ensure streamlined pricing across all regions.
How We Price Job Leads
Not all jobs require the same amount of credits. Our dynamic valuation algorithm determines lead prices based on nine specific criteria:
- Project Budget: High-value installations require more credits than quick repair tasks.
- Trade Category & Sub-Category: Specialized trades (e.g., Gas Safe heating, roofing) are priced according to industry scope.
- Detailed Scope of Work: Complexity described in the homeowner's request.
- Geographic Location: High-demand urban areas vs. regional markets.
- Urgency & Timescale: Immediate emergency call-outs vs. future planned projects.
- Lead Verification Score: Verified homeowner contact information and job intent.
- Cost of Generation: Marketing overhead involved in sourcing specialized leads.
- Trade Competition: Maximum caps on how many tradesmen can purchase the lead (up to 3).
- Lead Age: Discounted credit rates apply to older or re-listed job postings.
Billing Policies, Cancellations & Support
Are There Mandatory Monthly Fees?
No mandatory fees apply unless you actively opt into a monthly membership plan or purchase recurring platform add-ons. If you remain on Pay As You Go, you are only charged when purchasing credit bundles or individual job leads.
Managing Cancellations
Monthly memberships can be cancelled at any time through your account settings. Upon cancellation, your profile reverts to Pay As You Go status at the end of your current billing cycle. Note that cancelling a membership may remove plan-specific perks, such as discounted credit pricing tiers.
Refunds & Dispute Credits
If a lead turns out to be non-genuine or uncontactable, you can file an official dispute within 48 hours. Read our complete Job Lead Dispute & Refund Guide for detailed eligibility rules.
Payment Troubleshooting
If a payment fails or your card expires, please update your billing preferences promptly in your billing portal. If you experience payment issues, contact our support team immediately to prevent account suspension or loss of automated lead alerts.
