No upfront fees. No lead fees. Only earn on completed work.
Relay is a jobs app built for Birmingham tradespeople who are tired of paying Checkatrade, MyBuilder, Bark and Rated People for leads that never convert. Better economics, less admin, faster pay.
Apply to joinYou keep more of what you earn
Lead-fee platforms charge you for every enquiry — whether or not it turns into paid work. Relay is the opposite: you only pay a commission when a job is actually completed.
Your own direct clients
Commission on jobs from customers you bring to Relay yourself. Bring your whole client book across and pay nothing on their work — Relay becomes your free booking, messaging and payments tool.
Relay-sourced jobs
Commission on new customers Relay finds and sends to you — only charged when the job is completed and you've been paid. No lead fees, no charge for enquiries that don't convert. (Customers separately pay a 6% service fee on top of the job price — never deducted from what you earn.)
That's it — the whole pricing model. No monthly subscription, no pay-per-lead, no charge for quoting. If you don't complete a paid job, Relay doesn't earn a penny from you.
Built around how you actually work
No upfront or lead fees
Nothing to pay to join and nothing per enquiry. You're never out of pocket chasing leads that go nowhere.
Bring your own clients at 0%
Move your existing customer book onto Relay and pay 0% commission on their bookings. Use it as your admin, invoicing and payments tool.
Customer-approved payment
Send an itemised invoice for approval, then receive funds on Stripe’s payout schedule.
Accept only what suits you
See the job and the price before you commit. Accept or decline with a tap — you're in control of your schedule.
Reputation that travels
Reviews from completed Relay jobs build a profile that helps you win more work over time.
