FAQ
Common questions
What trades do you cover?
We cover 10 core trades: plumber, electrician, carpenter, painter, roofer, HVAC technician, landscaper, cleaner, locksmith, and pest control. Each has multiple specific services like 'fix leaking tap' or 'install power point'.
What locations are covered?
Five countries: Australia (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, NT), United States (CA, NY, TX, FL, IL, WA, PA, OH, GA, NC), United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland), Canada (ON, BC, AB, QC, MB, SK, NS, NB), and New Zealand (Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, Waikato).
How are prices sourced?
Prices are sourced from industry cost guides, trade association data, and major Australian trade platforms. We verify and update regularly.
What pricing units are used?
Prices come in the unit most natural for the service: per hour (for hourly rates), per job (for fixed services like lockouts), per sqm (for painting, decking), or per metre.
Is this the same API key as the Subscription Pricing API?
Yes. One API key gives you access to both subscription pricing and trade pricing endpoints. Same auth, same billing, same rate limits.
Can I estimate total job costs?
Yes. The /v1/trades/estimate endpoint multiplies the per-unit price range by your quantity to give low/high/average total estimates.
