When does a Power-Up pay for itself?
Handyman & Independent Sub-trade
Sub-trade Free Base$0 / mo
Sub-trade Pro Power-Up$29 / mo
Pays for itself above $1,933/mo in payouts
Pro Contractor & Builder
Contractor Free Base$0 / mo
Contractor Pro Power-Up$99 / mo
Pays for itself above $6,600/mo in payouts
Base cost is $0/mo + 1.5%–2% escrow processing fee on completed milestone payouts; Power-Ups are flat monthly subscriptions.
Prices in Canadian dollars, billed monthly; GST extra. The escrow processing fee is shown before each payout and appears on its own receipt; it applies once the milestone escrow rail launches. BYOB never marks up labour or materials.
Security & trust
Bank-grade security. Built to stop construction scams.
Encrypted records and a tamper-evident audit trail today — and milestone money that will sit with a regulated, PCI DSS Level 1 payment partner until the work is approved.
Regulated milestone escrow
When payments launch, deposits will be held by a regulated payment partner — not by BYOB — and released only after the homeowner approves photo proof of the milestone.
Coming soonInteger-cent ledger precision
Every amount is kept in whole cents in append-only ledgers. Entries can’t be edited or deleted — corrections are new, visible entries — so nothing rounds away and nothing disappears.
Available nowEncrypted on audited infrastructure
AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS in transit (TLS 1.3 where supported), on database and hosting providers that hold SOC 2 Type 2 attestations.
Available nowAnti-fraud audit trail
Site photos carry a device timestamp and a SHA-256 fingerprint chained to the one before, so tampering shows. Change orders and disputes are permanent logs.
Available now
