TradieFlow vs Rated People
Rated People sells you leads that go to multiple tradesmen. You pay, you chase, you compete on price. TradieFlow gives you a professional website that attracts clients who've already chosen you.
How TradieFlow compares
Why tradesmen choose TradieFlow over Rated People
Stop paying for leads you don't win
Rated People charges per lead - whether you win the job or not. With your own website, every enquiry is free and exclusive to you. No wasted spend on leads that choose someone cheaper.
Pre-qualified vs price-shopping
Rated People leads are comparing 3+ quotes simultaneously. Website visitors have already browsed your work, read your reviews, and decided to contact you specifically. They're pre-sold, not price-shopping.
A growing asset vs a recurring bill
Rated People charges will never decrease. Your website's value increases every month - better SEO rankings, more reviews, stronger brand recognition. After year one, your cost per lead drops dramatically.
The Directory Trap
Checkatrade. Rated People. MyBuilder. Most tradesmen have tried at least one. Here's why they don't solve the problem.
You're One of Twenty
Every customer who searches finds you sitting next to 10, 15, sometimes 20 competitors on the same page. You have no brand, no identity. You're just a name and a star rating. The only way to stand out is to undercut on price - and that's a race to the bottom you don't want to win.
You're Renting, Not Owning
You pay £100–£200 a month for visibility that disappears the moment you stop paying. You're not building anything. No website. No SEO. No asset. Every penny spent is gone the day you cancel.
The Leads Are Worse
Directory leads are price-shoppers. They're getting 5 quotes at once and going with the cheapest. Your own website attracts customers who've already decided they want YOU - they just need to confirm you're legitimate. That's a completely different conversation.
Checkatrade
Checkatrade costs up to £2,400/year- for leads you share with competitors, on a platform you don't own, with no long-term return.
TradieFlow
TradieFlow costs £588/year after setup - for a website you own, that builds your brand, ranks on Google, and works 24/7.
