What does a bid cost?

Bid fees scale with the size of the project — a few dollars to quote a small repair, more to compete for six-figure contracts. Unlocking a job’s documents costs 1 credit (only when the job has attachments); the Bid of Intent is always free.

Marketplace: bids & seller fees

The Marketplace uses its own money system — separate from the job-bid credits above. Here’s how the two differ.

Job-bid credits

Used only on the contractor job board — one credit ≈ $4–5, spent to unlock documents and place a bid, priced by the project budget (see the table above). Nothing to do with buying or selling items.

Marketplace bidding balance

A small prepaid balance in cents (not credits). Your first 10 auction bids are free; after that each bid costs 25¢. Buying, selling, making offers and messaging are always free.

Fees by category

The seller pays a small fee only when an item actually sells. Buyers never pay a sale fee.

CategorySeller sale feeAuction bid feee.g. on a $1,000 sale
Tools & Equipment 5% 25¢ / bid $1,000 → $50.00 fee
Building Materials 4% 25¢ / bid $1,000 → $40.00 fee
Vehicles & Trailers 2% 25¢ / bid $1,000 → $20.00 fee
Home & Garden 5% 25¢ / bid $1,000 → $50.00 fee
Services Free 25¢ / bid
Surplus & Liquidation 3% 25¢ / bid $1,000 → $30.00 fee

Fees are waived during the beta. Full details, examples and payout timing are on the Marketplace pricing page. Marketplace pricing & fees →

Why QuoteHive

A fairer way to win work — built around verified pros and transparent, pay-only-when-you-bid pricing.

Verified, insured pros

Every contractor who bids has had their ID, insurance and trade licence checked — so clients compare quotes with confidence.

Pay-per-bid, your choice

No mandatory subscription. Buy only the credits you need and bid on the jobs you actually want — clients always post for free.

No commission on the job

When you win, you keep 100% of the contract value. We never take a cut of the work — our only revenue is the credits pros spend to bid.

Transparent bidding

Every job has a clear deadline and results are open after close — you always know the fee before you bid, with no hidden charges.

Clients never pay to post or to receive quotes. Contractors only ever pay the per-bid credit fee shown above.
