Get booked.Get paid.No lead fees.

No lead fees, no monthly fee, no signup fee. Proffera's fee is taken only from completed jobs and late-cancel pay: 18% of the first $1,000 of a job, or 13% for your first 12 months if you're a founding Pro (the first 100 Pros approved with payouts set up in each city). On bigger jobs it drops to 8% on the part from $1,000 to $5,000 and 4% on the part above $5,000, and it's never more than $2,500.00 on one job. These rates hold while this plan is in effect; any change takes effect after 30 days' notice.

The first 100 Pros in each city that Proffera approves and who set up payouts with Stripe. Founding Pros pay 13% instead of 18% for 12 months from that day, and get priority placement for their first 90 days. Spots aren't reused.

Yes. After your 12 months the fee is 18% (8% on the part of a job from $1,000 to $5,000, 4% above, never more than $2,500.00 a job). Jobs booked before the change keep the rate they were booked at.

Proffera pays card processing and payout fees. Your payout is your price minus Proffera's fee; the only other deductions are the ones in section 7 of the Pro agreement: a refund after a dispute decided against the job, a chargeback, or fees you owe Proffera. Card processing costs about 2.9% + 30¢ per payment; Proffera pays it. On a tip, the customer pays the card cost, so 100% of the tip reaches you.

On marketplace jobs, Proffera earns its fee on completed jobs and the Proffera fee the customer pays (5%, at least $1.99, at most $99.00). From those it pays card processing, payouts, the Happiness Guarantee and support. On business jobs Proffera manages, you're paid your quoted price in full and Proffera adds its margin on the customer's side. On a late cancellation Proffera keeps part of what the customer doesn't get back.

Your payout is released 48 hours after the customer confirms the job with their completion code, or 72 hours after you mark it finished if they don't report a problem. Most banks show it 1–2 business days later; your first Stripe payout can take 7–14 days. You need Stripe payouts set up, and an open dispute holds that job's payout until it is resolved. For a job you quote, the customer also pays through Proffera, and a person at Proffera sends your share after the customer confirms the work. It isn't automatic yet.

Proffera doesn't run background checks. Pros are independent businesses. The only check is ID verification by Stripe when you set up payouts — no extra step and no cost.

Plumbing, electrical, heating and AC, and pest control need a state license, and so does locksmith work in Texas. In Maryland, home improvement work also needs a Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) license: lawn care, TV mounting, smart home install, handyman, pressure washing, interior painting, appliance install, gutter cleaning, and garage door repair. We also book only licensed locksmiths in Maryland, as Proffera policy. Add your license number when you set up (Proffera names the license and board for your service and state). Those jobs only reach you once a person at Proffera has checked it on the board's public lookup. Proffera doesn't ask for a license for other services. Proffera approves every profile before it can take jobs, and Stripe confirms your identity when you set up payouts.

We only show real customer requests in your ZIPs — never invented jobs. Founding Pros get priority placement while we grow each city.
