For trades

You’re excellent at the work. The rest is stealing your evenings.

Nobody became a plumber because they loved quoting. Mendly finds you the job, builds the quote off your own rates, turns it into the invoice, and keeps the record — so the only thing left in your day is the part you’re actually good at.

  • Flat monthly fee — never commission
  • Starter is free
  • Nothing to install

A business cockpit, not another app to babysit

From the job landing in your feed to the invoice being sent, Mendly carries the admin so you can carry the tools.

The work finds you

Open job requests near you, with the urgency, the suburb, and how far away it is. One tap on "I'm available" tells the client you can take it — no bidding, no paying to unlock a phone number.

The feed refreshes as clients post. Putting your hand up costs you nothing.

It already knows your rates

Start typing a line item and your own saved rates appear. Pick one and the description and price fill themselves in — set the quantity, add a discount, set a valid-until date, done.

When she accepts, one button — Convert to Invoice — carries every line, quantity and rate straight across. Your client pays you directly, and Mendly does not hold or release job payments.

Being first isn’t luck

They choose the one who answers

Mendly puts the job in your hand the minute it’s posted. Being first isn’t a personality trait — it’s a notification.

They choose the one who looks organised

A quote with proper line items and a job record she can follow does more for your price than any amount of haggling.

They choose the one they can prove

Ratings, completed jobs, documents that haven’t expired. On Mendly your track record follows you instead of evaporating.

Start free. Move when the business moves.

Questions service providers ask

What does Mendly take off my jobs?+

Nothing. You pay a flat monthly subscription and your client pays you directly. Commission models punish you for being good — the better you get, the more you hand over. We charge the same whether you invoice a little or a lot this month.

Do I have to be a registered business?+

It helps you rank, but it isn't the gate. If you have your own transport and quote per job, you belong on the Standard track. If you work by the day and get fetched, there's a separate track built for that — see the Community Providers page.

Do I need to download anything?+

No. Mendly runs in the browser you already have and installs to your home screen like an app. Nothing from an app store, nothing eating your storage.

What happens if a client disputes the work?+

Every job carries its own record — the quote she accepted, the job progress you logged, and when the invoice was sent. Disputes are raised from inside the booking, with all of that already attached.

Your first job on Mendly costs you nothing
