Yada as a Builderscrack alternative in Hawke’s Bay
Hawke’s Bay homeowners, tradies, and businesses looking for a Builderscrack alternative can access a New Zealand-wide platform that’s free, transparent, and secure. With no lead or success fees, specialists save money and clients get straightforward, fair pricing for every job.
Yada supports both individuals and registered businesses, from solo plumbers and electricians to landscape specialists, painters, and home service providers. Everyone is free to join and post or respond to jobs within legal boundaries.
We use a double-sided rating system that builds trust between tradies and clients. All feedback is visible after each job, helping the community identify reliable professionals while supporting fair matching.
Posting a job is free and takes only a few simple steps. Specialists can also respond at no charge, with limits based on their performance ranking to maintain a focus on quality service. A private, secure chat channel allows both sides to manage discussions without publicly sharing personal contact details.
Built specifically for New Zealand, our intuitive, mobile-first design ensures quick navigation whether accessing it from Napier, Hastings, or smaller towns across Hawke’s Bay. It works equally well on phones, tablets, or computers.
For those in Hawke’s Bay, the platform offers a practical, cost-effective, and transparent alternative where both tradies and clients can connect confidently.
Frequently asked questions
- Users can post as many tasks as they need, however the posted jobs would still need to go through the moderation process before they can appear on the platform;
- To protect users from spam, the specialist would not be able to respond to every single job at the platform (their response quotas would depend on the rating tier they are on);
- We do not have any subscription fees as of today, but we do plan to introduce different plans at a later stage (however, the core features like free posting, free chat and no lead/success fees would remain);
