Transparent trader pricing

Tradelynx is free for traders.

No commission on jobs. We don't charge you to work: no upfront fees, no per-lead charges, no monthly minimum.

Every figure on this page is the rate in force today, read from the platform's own pricing configuration. Nothing here is a future price.

How charging works

What you pay, line by line

Two of these are payment-processing costs that reach the processor, not us. The rest are zero.

Receiving and accepting leads
Receive, accept or decline. Nothing leaves your account when you take on a job.
Free
Commission on completed jobs
The published commission rate is currently 0%. When a customer pays you for a completed job, the money is yours.
0%
Card payment through Tradelynx
If your customer pays by card through Tradelynx, the card-processing cost is passed through at cost. It isn't commission and Tradelynx doesn't mark it up.
1.5% + 25p
Pay by bank (open banking)
Your customer pays straight from their banking app. On a £10,000 invoice that is £5 instead of about £150. Funds settle on the standard payout schedule, not instantly, and bank payments carry no chargeback mechanism.
0.5% + 20p, capped at £5
Billing the customer yourself
Bill however suits you. On-platform card payments are optional.
Free
Why it works this way

A platform that only exists because you bring the work shouldn't charge you for the privilege

One job, one trader

A lead is routed to a single available trader at a time. There is no auction, so there is nothing to buy and nothing to lose a bidding war over.

We are not in the middle of your money

The customer pays you. Card and bank payments through Tradelynx are optional conveniences, and their processing cost reaches the processor, not us.

The record is the product

Our job is the introduction and the verified record of the work. That is what organisations pay for, which is what keeps the trader side free.

The usual arrangement

What you are used to, and what happens here

Both columns are true. The left is how lead-generation marketplaces are built; the right is how this one is.

Lead-generation marketplaces
Tradelynx
You buy the lead before you know if it is real.
Leads arrive free. You see the job, then decide.
The same job is sold to several traders.
One job goes to one trader at a time.
A monthly subscription whether or not work comes in.
No subscription is required. Pro is optional.
Priority for whoever pays more.
No paid priority. Availability and fit decide.
The platform's interest ends at the introduction.
The finished job becomes part of the property's record.

The specifics for each named platform, with dates and sources, are on the comparison pages.

Optional add-ons

Two things you can pay for, and neither is required

The base experience is fully free. These exist because traders asked for them.

Tradelynx Pro: £15 per month (includes any VAT that applies), free until we're HMRC-recognised, plus three months.

Your books MTD-ready, customer records, branded quotes, LabourLynx staffing and the extra trader-portal surfaces. We'll tell you before we ever charge, and you keep your records either way.

LabourLynx, included with Pro

Post a shift, browse a local labour pool, contact day-rate workers directly. Included with Pro rather than sold separately.

The small print, in normal words

Three things worth saying plainly

Founding and reward effects

If your account has an active founding reward, it is shown with its expiry on your dashboard. Rewards that reduce or waive commission apply automatically whenever a commission rate is in effect.

Processing costs are not ours

Card and open-banking costs go to the payment processor. Tradelynx adds nothing to them, and you can avoid them entirely by billing the customer directly.

Published, not promised

This page renders the rate in force today. If it ever changes, this page changes with it, and your dashboard shows what applies to your account.

Free to join, free to work, and the record follows you.

Apply in about five minutes. Insurance and credentials are checked before you can take customer work, and we tell you exactly what is needed.
