Why GotAPal

What makes it different

01

Free to claim — really

Your profile costs nothing, forever. No monthly fee to appear, no pay-to-rank, no commission on the job.

02

Reviews tied to a real, paid job

A review can only be raised against a job that was actually quoted and paid through ServicePay. That is the mechanism — not a badge we hand out.

03

You own the relationship

The customer contacts you directly. No middleman skimming the lead, and no lead sold to four of your competitors at the same time.

04

Credentials held to evidence

Insurance, trade bodies and qualifications are recorded against evidence we hold privately — and a business is locked out of verifying itself.

Better than the alternative

How it compares

The usual way
  • ✕Checkatrade helps you get found, on a paid listing
  • ✕MyBuilder — you bid for the work, and you pay for the lead whether you win it or not
With GotAPal
  • ✓GotAPal is free to claim — and a review has to come from a job someone actually paid for
  • ✓Customers come to you. No lead fees, no bidding war
