# Service.com.au

> Service.com.au is an Australian marketplace connecting homeowners with local tradies and service businesses. Homeowners can post a job for free, compare quotes and choose a business. Tradies can find local work and use Toolbox to manage their jobs.

Service.com.au serves customers and businesses across Australia. The directory covers trades and services such as plumbing, electrical work, building, painting, cleaning, landscaping and removals.

Posting a job and comparing quotes is free for homeowners. Businesses carry out the work and provide their own quotes. Customers can compare business profiles, reviews and the details of each quote before hiring.

Tradies can create a free Basic business listing. Responding to quote requests requires a paid subscription. Paid plans provide unlimited matching job leads without per-lead fees or commissions per job. Subscription pricing depends on the trade category, service area and plan; see the pricing page for current options.

Toolbox is Service.com.au's job management app for Australian tradies. It helps businesses manage jobs, prepare quotes, send invoices and accept card payments, including for work sourced outside Service.com.au. See the Toolbox pages for current features, pricing and inclusions.

The linked pages explain current product details and policies. The business checks guide explains what profile checks and badges mean. Cost guides provide budgeting information; an individual business's quote reflects the specific job.

For local searches, follow the relevant trade category to its city and suburb listings. Business subscription prices are on the pricing page; project costs are in the cost guides.
