How we make money
Proffera earns a fee when a job gets done through it. Here is every fee, what it pays for, and what we never charge for.
When you book a Pro
Your Pro's price plus the Proffera fee — 5% of the job, at least $1.99 and never more than $99.00 — shown as its own line before you pay. There's no separate card fee.
You pay through Proffera. Your Pro is paid after the job is done: 48 hours after you give them your completion code, or 72 hours after they mark it finished if you don't report a problem. On jobs under $39.80, the fee is the $1.99 minimum.
Pros pay Proffera a fee only on completed jobs, never for leads. Pro fees · Every cancellation rule
The math on a $100.00 job
An example, not a quote: every Pro sets their own price. Here is where each dollar goes.
| Line | Founding Pro (13%) | Standard Pro (18%) |
|---|---|---|
| Your Pro's price | $100.00 | $100.00 |
| Proffera fee (you pay) | $5.00 | $5.00 |
| You pay | $105.00 | $105.00 |
| Proffera's fee (from the Pro) | −$13.00 | −$18.00 |
| Your Pro receives | $87.00 | $82.00 |
| Proffera's fees together | $18.00 | $23.00 |
| Card processing and payout, paid by Proffera | −$3.82 | −$3.81 |
| Proffera keeps (estimate) | $14.18 | $19.19 |
Card processing and the payout transfer use the payment processor's standard U.S. rates and come out of Proffera's fees, never the Pro's payout or your price.
Business orders Proffera sells
One Proffera price. Proffera sells you this order, and the price includes our margin. This is only for janitorial and commercial cleaning, supplies, equipment rental and staffing for businesses. Any other job is the Pro's own sale, with the fees above.
Licensed trades
For licensed work such as plumbing or electrical, we collect payment for the licensed Pro as their payment agent; our fee is shown separately. Proffera doesn't do or resell licensed work.
What we never do
- Charge Pros to see jobs.
- Sell your personal data.
- Let anyone pay for a better ranking, reviews or badges.
