Pricing

One simple platform fee, taken only when a job is actually paid out. No setup fees, no monthly charges, and no fees for buying leads, because Fairgo isn't a lead marketplace.

Every job

Platform fee

5%

Charged on the job total and deducted from the tradie's payout when funds are released. The homeowner never pays more than the agreed job price.

Getting paid

Standard payout

Free

Once the client approves the work, the tradie's payout is sent automatically about 2 business days later, at no extra cost.

Optional

Instant payout

1.5%

Tradies who want their money immediately instead of waiting can opt in to an instant payout for a small fee, taken from their own payout.

Disputes only

Inspection fee

$250.00

Only charged if a dispute is raised. Paid upfront by the party raising the dispute, and refunded in full if the independent inspection upholds their claim.

Worked example

A fixed-price job of $1,000.00:

Homeowner pays (held in escrow)$1,000.00
Fairgo platform fee (5%)$50.00
Tradie receives (standard payout)$950.00
…or instant payout (1.5% of $950.00)$935.75

What you don't pay

No setup or sign-up fees
No monthly subscription
No fees for leads or quotes
No fee on refunds: a refunded job costs nothing
Jobs over $20,000.00 require Home Building Compensation cover by law (NSW) before payment can be taken. That's a regulatory requirement, not a Fairgo charge.
