Stop paying for leads
that don't convert.
On most platforms, you pay for every lead, whether you win the job or not. On Qoro, you pay nothing until a customer hires you. Real job requests arrive with photos, a confirmed address, and a payment card on file. You quote what you want. Direct-deposit payouts every Friday for jobs completed and approved Mon-Thu of that week (Fri-Sun jobs roll to the next Friday). Sign up by July 10, 2026 and your first 30 days on the platform are commission-free.

Why join Qoro
Built to fix what's broken about every other platform
We built Qoro because the existing marketplaces are stacked against trades professionals. Here's how we're different.
Honest, transparent pricing
10% booking fee. That's it.
Qoro takes a flat 10% of every job you win as the booking fee — minimum $10, capped at $1,000. The customer also pays a small $2 platform fee on top of your quote, which covers payment processing and platform operations. No per-lead charges. No monthly subscription. No cut of materials. No surprise deductions from your payout.

Founding-cohort offer
21 days leftSign up by July 10, 2026 and pay zero commission for your first 30 days.
Every job you win in your first 30 days, you take home 100% of what you quoted — Qoro absorbs the booking fee. After your founding window closes, the standard fees above apply. Open to providers who sign up before July 10, 2026 — sign-ups after that go straight to the standard schedule.
How we compare
Less than half what most platforms take
Most Ontario trade marketplaces use commission, lead-fee, or subscription models that quietly eat 15–30% of your revenue. Qoro charges one transparent platform fee — paid by your customer at hire-time, fully disclosed before you accept any job.
| Cost | Typical Ontario trade platforms | Qoro |
|---|---|---|
| Commission per job | 15–30% (or $30–100 per lead) | 10% on every job, capped at $1,000 |
| Pay just to receive a lead | Yes — even if you don't win | Never. You only pay when you win the job. |
| Monthly subscription | $50–300/month for premium placement | $0. No subscription, ever. |
| Cut of materials you supply | Often included in commission | $0. Materials are yours, 100%. |
| Surprise deductions at payout | Processing, dispute, “service” fees | None. The fee shown at quote-time is the only fee. |

Common questions
Provider FAQ
How much does it cost to join?
Nothing. Applying is free, listing is free, quoting is free. You only pay a fee when you actually win a job — and if you sign up before July 10, 2026, even that's waived for your first 30 days (see the founding-cohort offer).
Wait — so what's the actual fee per job?
10% booking fee on every job you win. Floor of $10 on very small jobs, capped at $1,000 on large ones. The customer also pays a flat $2 platform fee on top of your quote (covers payment processing and platform ops) — this comes out of their bill, not yours. Everything is shown to the customer transparently before they hire and to you before you accept. No surprises, no hidden deductions at payout.
What's the 30-day commission-free offer?
Every new provider who signs up BEFORE July 10, 2026 gets their first 30 days on Qoro fee-free. You take home 100% of every quote you win during that window — Qoro absorbs the booking fee. After your 30-day window closes, the standard fee schedule kicks in. Sign-ups on or after July 10, 2026 go straight to the standard schedule, so this is genuinely time-limited.
How do payouts work?
Qoro pays you by direct deposit every Friday for jobs completed Mon–Thu of that week, once the customer has approved the completed work. The amount is your full quote (labour, plus materials if part of the scope) minus Qoro's 10% booking fee — or, during your founding-cohort window, your full quote with no deduction at all. No invoicing, no chasing.
What if a customer cancels?
If they cancel more than 8 hours before the scheduled start, they get a full refund. Within 8 hours, the booking fee is forfeited and the bulk goes to you as cancellation compensation. If you need to cancel, the customer is fully refunded — frequent late cancellations affect your standing on Qoro.
Do I have to use Qoro for materials?
No. You can either: have the customer supply materials (you quote labour only), or include materials in your quote (single combined price). Either way works. We don't take a cut of materials, ever.
What if I want to work outside Qoro?
You're an independent contractor — your time is your own. But while you're on the platform, you agree not to solicit Qoro customers off-platform. Doing so is grounds for permanent removal and forfeiture of pending payouts.
What trades are you launching with?
Security Systems is live today (cameras, alarms, smart locks, access control). Plumbing, Electrical, Automobile, and Home Renovation are onboarding now and going live later this summer. If you work in those trades, apply now — you'll be one of the first providers on the platform when the vertical launches, and your founding-cohort 0% commission window stays intact.
