Free to start · No credit card to apply · ESA · TSSA · OCOT · WSIB verified only
How we make money: 8% on completed jobs only — capped at $400 per job. No monthly fee. No per-lead charges. We only earn when you earn.

How it works
We match you to a job
A GTA homeowner describes their problem. Our AI identifies the trade and zone. You receive an SMS dispatch — exclusively yours.
You accept and do the work
Reply YES to claim the job. You have 45 minutes (30 for emergencies). Contact the homeowner directly, agree on scope, complete the job.
You get paid, we take 8%
Collect payment directly from the homeowner on site. Submit your invoice through the platform. We charge 8% of the job value, capped at $400. That's it.
For project jobs over $5,000
You'll compete against one other verified contractor — not five. Best quote wins. The contractor who isn't selected gets notified and stays in the rotation for the next project in their area.
Fair, transparent, merit-based.
Sound familiar?
Race to the bottom
You quote $400. An unlicensed handyman quotes $180. Your ECRA licence counts for nothing on Marketplace.
Paying to be ignored
Lead marketplaces charge $20–40 every time a homeowner replies to you — whether you win the job or not. $400/month to maybe get work.
Chasing unpaid invoices
You finish the job. You ask for the e-transfer. Sometimes it never arrives — and there's no record you were even there.
Zero brand equity
Every job starts from scratch. No verified review history, no profile that compounds. Years of great work — invisible to the next homeowner.

Your actual dashboard — available the moment you're approved
Licensed-only verification
ECRA, TSSA, and OCOT numbers checked directly before anyone lists. Unlicensed competition cannot get in.
AI-screened leads
Our AI reads every job before you see it — classifying the trade, estimating scope, flagging permits. No vague requests, no wrong-trade jobs.
Direct payment — your way
Collect payment directly from the homeowner on site — e-transfer, cash, or cheque. We never touch your money or delay your access to it.
Simple pricing. No surprises.
The Free tier has no monthly fee — just 8% on completed jobs only, capped at $400 per job, with zero cost on declined or unmatched leads. Optional Pro and Elite tiers add business tools and lower fees.
30-Day Resolution Guarantee
Every completed job comes with our resolution guarantee. If a homeowner raises a concern within 30 days, we facilitate the conversation — not take sides.
Professional invoices, automatically
Every job generates a branded, professional invoice sent to your homeowner instantly. No more paper receipts or chasing payments.
Your guarantee
Every month we fail to send you a single job lead, we acknowledge it — and work to fix it. No fine print, no excuses.
How it works
On the 1st of every month
Our system checks every active contractor's dispatch count for the previous month.
Zero leads sent?
If we dispatched zero leads to you in the previous month, you receive an email from us — with an explanation and a plan.
You get an email
We confirm the zero-dispatch month and outline what we are doing to bring more homeowners to your trade and zone.
Conditions
Other platforms don’t do this.
Other platforms charge $300–600/month whether you win zero jobs or twenty — or charge per connection whether you win or not. We think that’s backwards.
Why we built this
I’ve seen what bad contractors do to good people. My best friend lost $13,000 to one. I lost a kitchen renovation deposit to another. Between us, we had no way to fight back — because we had no way to verify who we were hiring in the first place.
Good tradespeople get hurt by this too. You lose jobs to unlicensed competitors who undercut your price because they’re not carrying proper insurance, not pulling permits, and not paying their WSIB. Homeowners can’t tell the difference — so they go with the cheapest option and hope for the best.
VerifiedPros changes that dynamic. When a homeowner arrives on this platform, they already know every contractor is verified and accountable. They’re not shopping for the lowest price — they’re looking for someone they can trust. That’s the homeowner you want.
Legitimate contractors deserve a platform that proves it.

Common questions
Is VerifiedPros really free for contractors?
The Free tier is free forever — no monthly fee, no per-lead charges. You only pay 8% when you complete a job and get paid. If you want professional invoicing, expense tracking, a client book, and a lower 5% fee — Pro is $49/month. Elite is $99/month with priority dispatch and a 3% fee. There is no pressure to upgrade. The free tier gets you real leads and real earnings indefinitely.
How is the platform fee collected?
After you submit an invoice through the platform, VerifiedPros automatically calculates the 8% fee and charges your card on file. You receive a receipt immediately. Fees are never collected before a job is completed and invoiced.
Do I need a credit card to sign up?
No credit card is needed to apply or join. Once you're approved and ready to receive leads, you'll add a payment method so we can collect the 8% platform fee after completed jobs. You are never charged before a job is done.
What counts as an emergency job?
A job marked HIGH urgency in one of: Electrician, Plumber, HVAC Technician, Roofing, or Appliance Repair. Emergency jobs are dispatched differently — two verified contractors at once, so the homeowner gets an answer fast — but they cost you exactly the same: 8%, capped at $400. We do not charge more because someone is having a bad day.
What if I get zero leads in a month?
If we send you zero job dispatches in a full calendar month, you receive an email from us with an explanation and a plan. We review your trade and zone settings and work to improve your match volume. Since we only charge on completed jobs, there is nothing to refund — but we take it seriously.
