Straight answers for trades
What happened to Rated People?
Rated People closed all tradesperson accounts on 16 September 2026 and Checkatrade Group bought its brand and website. Its leads now go to Checkatrade members.
Do I need a contract or subscription?
No. Pay as you go has no monthly fee. Plus is £19 a month with 25 credits included, and you can cancel any time.
How much is a job?
One credit is £1, prices include any VAT. A job costs 4 credits (small) to 25 credits (major). Exclusive jobs, where you are the only trade, cost 10 to 62 credits.
What if the lead is bad?
If the number is wrong or the homeowner cancels before you speak, report it in one tap and the credits go back automatically.
Do credits expire?
No. Credits never expire, including the ones included with Plus.
