| Plan | Platform fee | What triggers it |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | $50 | 5% when accepted, unless an introductory waiver applies |
| Pro | $0 | $14.99/month subscription; no accepted-bid fee |
This shows the standard free-plan fee; introductory waivers and Pro may reduce it to $0. Service payments are arranged directly between homeowner and contractor.
BidWise: during the first 3 signup calendar months, the first 5 submitted bids in each UTC month waive accepted-bid fees; additional bids remain available at all times. After that, the free plan charges 5% only when accepted (nearest whole dollar, $1 minimum); losing or unwon bids have no fee. Pro is $14.99/month with no accepted-bid fees. Memberships, credits, waivers, and other plan-specific terms are excluded from this illustration. See full pricing details.

For Contractors
Browse posted projects without paying for leads. Submit a price and spell out what is included, what is excluded, and other relevant terms. The free plan charges a 5% platform fee on accepted bids unless an introductory waiver applies; Pro has no accepted-bid fee.
Browse projects and submit bids without a per-lead charge. On the free plan, a 5% fee applies only to accepted bids unless waived.
Set out the price, what is included or excluded, start availability, warranty details, and whether a site visit is required.
Review available project details before you bid. Availability varies by location; work is not guaranteed.
BidWise focuses on handyman and small-to-mid residential projects. If you bid on large commercial work or $50K+ design-build remodels, BidWise may not be the right fit for your pipeline.
During the first 3 signup calendar months, the first 5 submitted bids in each UTC calendar month have no accepted-bid fee. Additional bids remain available during those months and are charged a 5% accepted-bid fee only if accepted (rounded to the nearest whole dollar, $1 minimum). After that introductory period, submitted bids remain available and the same 5% accepted-bid fee applies only when a bid is accepted. Losing or unwon bids have no fee. Pro costs $14.99/month for unlimited bids with no accepted-bid fees. The same policy applies to all contractors; prior pricing does not carry over.
No. BidWise does not sell shared leads or charge to browse a project. Homeowners post projects, and multiple contractors can submit competing bids. Lead quality and response vary, and a lead may still ghost; your close rate and cost per booked job depend on those factors. There is no charge for a losing or unwon bid; a 5% accepted-bid fee applies only when a bid is accepted (rounded to the nearest whole dollar, $1 minimum), except when an eligible first-five submitted bid is waived. This is competitive bidding, not an exclusive lead service.
Yes, BidWise is free for homeowners. You can post projects, review bids, and communicate through the platform at no cost. Contact information stays private by default; after a bid is accepted, you may choose whether to share it.
Keep building your owned channels: referrals, local SEO, and your Google Business Profile. BidWise is an additional channel, not an either-or replacement: use owned channels for your long-term pipeline and BidWise for another way to find projects. During the first 3 signup calendar months, the first 5 submitted bids in each UTC calendar month waive the accepted-bid fee; additional bids always remain available and a 5% accepted-bid fee applies only when accepted (rounded to the nearest whole dollar, $1 minimum). Pro is $14.99/month with no accepted-bid fees. Lead quality, close rate, and results vary; BidWise does not guarantee work.
Contractors submit a total price and can specify included and excluded scope, start availability, warranty details, and whether a site visit is required. Homeowners can compare submitted bids side by side on the web. Confirm any unanswered details with the contractor before hiring.
Contractor screening is not currently active. A listing does not mean that the account holder or their crew has passed a BidWise background check. Independently verify qualifications, licenses, insurance, and references before hiring. Read the Screening Policy for details.
