Irish job site where homeowners post work free and tradespeople pay a subscription to find jobs

MyBuilder.ie is a homeowner-to-tradesperson job site covering Ireland by trade and county. Homeowners post jobs for free; tradespeople need a paid Pro subscription, with an optional Elite Pro add-on for more visibility. The site also sells website and profile packages to tradespeople. It describes itself as one channel alongside referrals and local search, not a promise of work.

Pros

  • + Homeowners post jobs for free
  • + Published subscription prices, monthly or annual
  • + Directory by trade and county across Ireland
  • + Optional add-ons (Elite Pro, websites) are priced on the site

Cons

  • โˆ’ Subscription is paid whether or not you win work; the site says it does not guarantee leads
  • โˆ’ Operator not named on the site's readable pages
  • โˆ’ Prices do not state whether VAT is included

Ireland note

Ireland-only site with county-based service areas and Irish cost guides. None of the site's readable pages names the company that runs it or any link to MyBuilder UK (mybuilder.com), so treat it as a separate Irish site.

Typical Ireland pricing: Pro subscription from โ‚ฌ29.99 per month or โ‚ฌ249 per year; optional Elite Pro add-on โ‚ฌ20 per month or โ‚ฌ149 per year. The site does not say whether VAT is included

Irish website where homeowners post jobs and tradespeople pay per lead for customer contact details

Tradesmen.ie is an Irish job-posting site: homeowners post a job and tradespeople pay to receive the customer's contact details.

Pros

  • + Irish site focused on home trades jobs
  • + Leads come to you instead of cold outreach
  • + Pay per lead rather than a fixed subscription

Cons

  • โˆ’ Registration fee and prepaid credits before any work comes in
  • โˆ’ You pay for the lead whether or not you win the job
  • โˆ’ Credit prices are not stated here; check current rates before buying credits

Ireland note

Irish site (.ie) for jobs in Ireland. Tradesmen.ie (plural) is a different site from tradesman.ie (singular). Check its tradesmen FAQ for current credit prices and lead rules before signing up.

Typical Ireland pricing: Pay-per-lead: prepaid credits plus a registration fee for new tradespeople; amounts not confirmed
