For tradespeople
A Bark alternative for trades who want more control
If you are tired of paying for weak or mismatched enquiries, Lead & Trade is designed around previewing, choosing and tracking the leads you want.
Lead preview example
Know what you are unlocking
Customer name, phone, email and exact address stay hidden until the approved unlock step.
Why trades get frustrated
Normal lead sites can feel one-sided
- Paying before you know whether an enquiry is relevant.
- Too many trades chasing the same weak lead.
- Long contracts before you can judge the return.
- No clear way to track spend, outcomes or refund requests.
How Lead & Trade is fairer
Preview, choose, track and quote
- Preview the job type, rough area, urgency, budget band and quality signals before unlocking.
- Only spend credits on leads you choose, with capped competition per lead.
- Track unlocked leads through contacted, quoted, follow-up, won, lost or disputed.
- Request a fair credit review for duplicate, wrong-trade, fake or clearly inaccurate leads.
- Use Growth and Pro tools such as Quotessa where eligible to turn leads into quotes faster.

FAQs
Is Lead & Trade a directory or a lead marketplace?
It is both. Trades can create a directory profile, but the main value is privacy-safe job previews that trades can choose to unlock.
Do trades have to join a long contract?
The platform supports free profiles and pay-as-you-go style lead access. Paid member plans add more tools and visibility, but lead volume is not guaranteed.
What makes the leads fairer?
Trades see useful details first, competition is capped, and clearly bad leads can be reviewed for credit under the lead quality policy.
Is Quotessa included?
Quotessa quote tools are included with eligible active trade member plans, with early access for Growth and Pro style plans.
