As at November 2026, hipages charges tradies a monthly subscription of $139, $249, $449 or $649 plus GST for the four lead levels, and each lead you accept uses some of your monthly credits. There is no commission on jobs. The part that is hard to predict is how many credits each lead takes.
This page sets out what hipages publishes on its own pages, then shows how to work out your cost per job won from your own numbers. It is not a recommendation either way. For that question, see is hipages worth it for tradies.
The four subscription prices
These figures come from the hipages membership costs page and were checked on 14 November 2026. All prices are per month and plus GST. Prices change, so check their page before you decide.
| Subscription | Per month, plus GST | Credits | Postcodes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $139 | 155 | 1 |
| Advanced | $249 | 310 | 3 |
| Premium | $449 | 595 | 5 |
| Platinum | $649 | 850 | 10 |
hipages also lists a Pro level for businesses with 10 or more employees at $2,049 a month, and an Essentials level at $29 a month. Essentials is job and business tools only, with no leads.
What the credits are
Credits are hipages’ own currency. Your subscription includes a number of them each month, and accepting a lead spends some. Its published lead credits policy says the number of credits per lead varies by trade category, location, job size, and supply and demand. It can change until the job is marked hired. You can also buy extra credits.
So the table above does not tell you how many leads you get. A small job may cost few credits and a large one many more. Ask what the credit cost is on the types of job you want, before you sign.
The contract term
On the hipages membership costs page, hipages lists a 6 month introductory term, then a 12 month term after that. It lists 5% off if you pay a year upfront.
- Cooling off. 7 days, if you have not accepted any leads.
- Cancelling after that. The page says to contact support. It does not set out the cost of leaving early, so read the contract you were sent.
- Pausing. 14 to 31 days on the introductory term, and up to 62 days on the 12 month term.
- Commission. None on jobs.
Whatever the page says, the contract you sign is what counts. Know the term and the exit cost before you agree, and keep a copy.
How many businesses get the same job
hipages states that every lead is capped at 3 businesses. That affects what a lead is worth to you, because you may be one of up to three phones ringing. Our guide on how many businesses is too many covers how to price that.
Work out your own cost per job won
The subscription is the easy number. Your cost per job won is what matters. You need four figures from your own records:
- What you pay each month, including any extra credits you buy.
- How many leads you accepted that month.
- How many of those you quoted.
- How many you won.
Divide the first by the last. Here is an example. These are made-up numbers to show the method, not hipages data:
- You pay $249 a month, plus GST.
- You accept 12 leads and quote 6.
- You win 2 jobs.
Your cost per job won is about $125 plus GST, or $249 divided by 2. Now add your time. If each quote takes two hours and you value your time at $80 an hour, six quotes is $960 of unpaid effort. That is the cost most tradies leave out. Include it, and compare the total to what a won job earns you. Our guide on what a lead is worth to your business walks through that side.
Run this over three months. A single month can be luck.
What hipages includes beyond leads
To be fair, the subscription is not only leads. hipages says its levels include job management and business tools, and the $29 Essentials level is those tools alone. If you would use them to quote, track jobs and invoice, part of the fee is paying for software you might otherwise buy. Count only the tools you would actually use.
hipages also states it checks the ABN, the licence where the trade is licensed, and ID for businesses on the platform.
A different model, for comparison
Some businesses prefer to pay for homeowners who go to one business only, after being phoned first, rather than a subscription with shared leads. That is how PreBuild Systems works, and it suits jobs of $5,000 or more. It does not suit anyone who wants a directory listing or lots of small jobs. See exclusive leads or how we find homeowners.
