The short answer
hipages sells four plans: Starter $139, Advanced $249, Premium $449 and Platinum $649 a month plus GST, carrying 155 to 850 lead credits a month. The plan is only the entry price: every lead you accept is paid for in credits whose price moves with demand, each lead goes to up to three businesses, and the contract runs a 6-month introductory term then auto-renews for 12 months at a time.
hipages itself reported subscription revenue of $2,475 a year per subscribing business in FY26, up 9%, across 36.4k subscribers. That is the average tradie's real annual spend.
The four hipages plans
| Plan | A month, plus GST | Credits a month | Credits roll over |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $139 | 155 | 1 month |
| Advanced | $249 | 310 | 1 month |
| Premium | $449 | 595 | 2 months |
| Platinum | $649 | 850 | 2 months |
Figures checked against hipages' own pricing and contract pages on 10 October 2026 by an independent reviewer, and against a pricing tracker's change log. hipages does not publish a dollar price per lead.
What the plan does not tell you
- Prices rose in July 2026. The week of 6 July the four plans went from $129, $229, $429 and $599 to $139, $249, $449 and $649 a month plus GST.
- Credits, not dollars, buy leads. What a lead costs in credits moves with trade, location, job size, urgency and demand, and can change daily, weekly or monthly. One reviewer saw the credits for a lead move from about 42 to 75 in a year; another reports leads of up to $200.
- Three businesses per lead, and homeowners can also connect with waitlisted businesses.
- A 6-month introductory term, then 12-month auto-renewals. Cancelling mid-term can make the remaining fees fall due. There is a seven-day window to cancel when you join or renew, provided you have not accepted a lead.
- Unused credits expire after 1 month on Starter and Advanced, 2 months on Premium and Platinum. Run dry and top-up packs sit on top of the subscription.
- No commission on the job, a 5% discount for paying 12 months upfront, and a 1.6% fee if you use the optional payment service.
What a lead and a won job really cost
Independent estimates put a typical hipages lead at $25 to $80 for most categories and the subscription at $200 to $600 a month, which lands the real cost per booked job at $150 to $400 before subscription fees. Only the credit price printed on each job in the app, and your own quote-to-job rate, give you your number.
hipages cost per won job calculator
Pick the plan, type what a lead costs you in credits (it is printed on each job in the hipages app) and how often a quote turns into a job. The tool divides the plan price by the jobs that buys. GST is on top of every hipages figure.
$178 per won job on hipages
- Advanced plan, 310 credits a month (plus GST)
- $249 a month
- Leads the allowance buys at 42 credits each
- 7
- Subscription cost per lead
- $36
- Jobs won a month at 1 in 5
- 1.4
- hipages cost per won job
- $178 (22% of a $800 job)
- WTD pay-per-lead at $25 a lead, same win rate
- $125 per won job (16%)
- WTD exclusive territory
- $250 a month flat, every lead in the territory included
Between 20% and 35% of the job: borderline. Credits per lead and the win rate are yours to set: hipages prices each lead in credits that move with demand, and only your own history tells you how often a quote becomes a job.
Win-rate presets are the 1 in 8, 1 in 5 and 1 in 3 benchmarks from the cited guide; the credits-per-lead default is the lower of the 42 to 75 credits one reviewer reports. hipages does not publish a dollar price per lead, so the only true inputs are your own.
How hipages compares on the same job
| Model | What you pay | Who else sees the lead | Commitment |
|---|---|---|---|
| hipages | $139 to $649 a month plus GST, then credits per lead that move with demand | Up to three businesses, plus waitlisted ones | 6-month intro term, 12-month auto-renewals |
| WTD pay-per-lead | From $25 a lead, no subscription, SMS-screened | A maximum of two tradies | None |
| WTD exclusive territory | $250 a month flat, every lead in the territory included | Only you | First month free, cancel anytime, no contracts, no setup fees |
The scale is not comparable and we do not pretend it is: hipages serviced 60.4k businesses and made 2.7m business-household connections in FY26. WTD is a cost-guide site that sends the homeowners who price a job on it to one or two local tradies.
