Pricing
Free to ask. Pay only when you book.
Accounts are open now for prelaunch setup. Customer job requests, quotes and bookings will become available at launch. When you choose a quote and book, Knut charges one booking fee, shown before you pay and never more than $150. The tradie's price for the work is theirs, set in their quote.
For homeowners and renters
One booking fee per job
The booking fee pays for Knut doing the running around: finding suitable local tradies, collecting and comparing their quotes, recommending the best fit on merit, and keeping the booking, messages, job progress and any issue in one place.
Examples
$150 job$7.50 booking fee
$850 job$38.25 booking fee
$3,000 job$120 booking fee
$10,000 job$150 booking fee
You pay the booking fee to Knut when you book, and the tradie's quoted price for the work as agreed in your booking.
Good to know
- No charge to describe a job or receive quotes.
- The fee is shown before you pay, so there are no surprises.
- Approved customer-requested extras and legitimate onsite variations recorded against the same booking do not create another Knut booking fee.
- If your tradie cancels and Knut finds a replacement for the same job, you are not charged a second booking fee. If no replacement can be found, your booking fee is refunded automatically.
- Knut Assured ($4.95, optional at checkout): if your tradie doesn't show, Knut rebooks straight away and you get half your booking fee, up to $25, off your next booking.
- Refunds follow our Terms & Conditions and Australian Consumer Law.
For tradies
Tradie signups open now. No lead fees.
Join now and pay nothing until 1 April 2027 (or three months after joining, if later), then $49/month. No lead fees, no charge to quote, and Knut takes no cut of your price. Jobs and quoting open when customer bookings launch.
$49/month
- Nothing to pay until 1 April 2027 (or 3 months after you join, if later). Billed to the card saved at signup; cancel any time.
- Job offers matched to your trade, area and availability.
- You are never charged for leads that go nowhere, because there are no leads to buy.
- Work orders and invoicing for managed-property jobs.
Boost · $29/month
- Get offered new jobs in your trade first.
- Only 3 Boost places per trade and postcode, so it keeps its value.
- It never changes which quote a customer is recommended — quotes are judged on merit.

Tradies who joined under an earlier offer keep the terms they signed up with.
For Property & Facilities teams
Priced by the size of your portfolio
For real-estate agencies, property managers, owners corporations, builders and facilities teams who manage maintenance across many properties. Join before launch and pay nothing until 1 April 2027.

| Properties | Per month |
|---|---|
| Up to 50 properties | $49 |
| 51 to 150 properties | $99 |
| 151 to 400 properties | $249 |

- Approved onsite extras and legitimate variations stay on the same job record with no additional Knut booking fee.
$20 flat
- Members pay a flat $20 per booked job, or the standard booking fee if that is lower. It is never more than the standard fee.
- Your first 3 months are free and nothing is charged before 1 April 2027. Organisations that joined on the earlier free terms for up to 20 properties keep them; the booking fee is never more than $150.
- Cancel any time; it stops at the end of the month you have paid for.
Organisations that agreed to a flat membership or the 2% organisation rate earlier keep those terms.
