Yada as a Builderscrack alternative in Stratford

Stratford residents and tradies looking for a Builderscrack alternative will find our New Zealand-made platform practical, transparent, and free of unnecessary charges. There are no lead or success fees, which allows specialists to charge honestly and ensures clients get genuine pricing for every project.

The platform welcomes both individuals and registered businesses. This means that whether you’re a sole operator tackling garden care or a small firm handling property renovations, you’re free to promote your work and find local leads in Stratford or beyond.

Every completed job contributes to a transparent two-way rating system. Both the client and the tradie leave reviews, creating a record of reliability that helps highlight trustworthy service providers over time. Specialists with higher ratings can send more job responses daily.

Clients can post jobs for free, while specialists reply without paying any additional fees. For privacy and organisation, all project communication takes place via a direct internal chat between the two participants only.

Our interface is intuitive and fast, built specifically for the way Kiwis search for and manage jobs online. Mobile-first design means fluid access from Taranaki’s farms, workshops, or Stratford’s residential streets alike.

The result is a fairer, modern alternative to Builderscrack, combining trusted ratings, no lead fees, and a clean user experience tailored for New Zealand’s gig economy.

For the text above, please note that:

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);
