Why Quovr

Built different
from the ground up.

hipages and Airtasker were built for lead generation. Quovr is built for the entire job — start to finish.

🔒

Blind quoting

Tradies submit prices without seeing each other's quotes. Prevents the race-to-the-bottom that plagues every other platform. Better prices for you, fairer margins for tradies.

✓ Quovr — blind quotes only Airtasker — open bidding
💎

Milestone escrow payments

Your money sits in escrow and is released in stages as work is completed and photo-evidenced. You're in control — not the tradie. No more paying upfront and hoping for the best.

✓ Quovr — staged escrow hipages — no payment handling
🛡️

In-app chat — no leakage

All communication stays on-platform. AI monitors messages and masks contact details until deposit is paid. Protects you from tradies trying to cut out the middleman.

✓ Quovr — AI-monitored Others — unmonitored
Comparison

Why the old
platforms aren't enough.

Every existing Australian platform stops at the quote. Quovr handles the entire job.

What people are
saying.

Quovr is in beta. Here's what our early users are telling us.

★★★★★

"I've used hipages three times and always ended up with dodgy tradies who wanted cash. Quovr's escrow system means I actually felt safe handing over money. The AI measurement thing is incredible."

Sarah J.
Mosman, NSW · Painting job
★★★★★

"As a tradie, I was sick of paying hipages $40 per lead and winning maybe one in five. Quovr sends me actual jobs where the client is serious and the deposit is already in. Night and day difference."

MP
Marcus P.
Surry Hills · Painter
★★★★★

"The blind quoting is genius. I submitted my honest price and got the job — didn't have to race to the bottom to beat five other tradies. First time I've felt respected by a platform."

Questions

Frequently asked.

Everything you need to know before you sign up.

What trades are available at launch?

Phase 1 covers the most common, low-risk residential trades: Painting, Tiling, Flooring, End of Lease Cleaning, Gutter & Roof Cleaning, Window Cleaning, Roof Painting, and Commercial Cleaning. Plastering and Carpentry come in Phase 2. Licensed trades (Electrical, Plumbing) follow in Phase 3 once our licence verification system is fully operational.

How does blind quoting actually work?

When your job is sent to tradies, each one submits their quote independently without seeing any other quotes. This prevents the race-to-the-bottom bidding wars you see on platforms like hipages and Airtasker. When you compare quotes, you see prices and ratings side by side — but tradies can never see each other's numbers.

How is my money protected?

All payments are held in escrow — a secure third-party account — before any work begins. Your money is released to the tradie in stages, only after you review and approve their photo evidence at each milestone. If a dispute arises, Quovr mediates and escalates to NSW NCAT if needed. Your money is never at risk.

How are tradies verified?

Every tradie goes through a 6-step onboarding: ABN verification against the Australian Business Register, NSW Fair Trading licence check, Certificate of Currency for public liability insurance, portfolio review, and a conduct agreement. Tradie details (name, licence, contact) are masked until a deposit is paid — protecting you from any off-platform arrangements.

What is the Inspector of Works feature?

At job completion, you have the option to book an independent NSW-licensed building inspector to formally assess the work. They visit the site, produce a detailed report, and identify any defects the tradie must rectify within 14 days. The report is stored on your job record permanently — useful for warranty claims, insurance, or future property sales.

Can a tradie approach me directly to avoid the 12% fee?

No. All contact details are masked until a deposit is paid — tradies never see your phone number or email before that. All communication is through our in-app chat, which is AI-monitored for off-platform contact attempts. Any tradie caught trying to arrange off-platform deals is permanently banned. The platform is designed specifically to prevent this.

What does it cost tradies to use Quovr?

Nothing upfront. No monthly subscription. No pay-per-lead. Quovr takes 12% of the job value on completion only. Our first 20 tradies get a founding member rate of 6% for 12 months. If the job doesn't complete, neither of us makes money — our incentives are perfectly aligned.
