Which should you choose?
MyBuilder.ie edges ahead on our Ireland tiering (Tier S vs A), but both are workable — the right pick depends on your trade, region, and the Ireland-specific notes below.
MyBuilder.ie
Tier S · RecommendedDublin-founded trades marketplace (2010) — same shortlist-pay model as UK MyBuilder

- + Strong consumer-side traffic
Cons
- − Smaller than UK equivalent
- − Lighter vetting than Checkatrade UK
- − No formal publisher affiliate program
Ireland note
Cross-market with MyBuilder UK — same product but Irish-market-tuned for consumer search and trade categories.
Onlinetradesmen.ie
Tier A · WorkableIrish-only contractor directory — independent of UK marketplace networks
Onlinetradesmen.ie is an Irish-only contractor directory with no cross-market parent. Smaller scale than MyBuilder.ie but operates independently with Irish consumer audience.
Pros
- + Irish-only independent operator
- + Local market focus
- + Smaller competition pool per category
Cons
- − Smaller consumer audience than MyBuilder.ie
- − Limited brand recognition outside Ireland
