Overview
Provider-Priced Jobs give you more control over how jobs are priced — helping ensure you’re paid fairly for the actual work required.
This job type is designed for situations where the scope of work isn’t fully clear upfront. Instead of accepting a fixed price, you’ll now be able to set your own price after seeing the job on-site — up to the Not To Exceed (NTE) amount listed on the job.
All pricing submitted on Provider-Priced Jobs is subject to review and approval to ensure fairness and consistency across the marketplace.
🎯 Why We Introduced Provider-Priced Jobs
We know it can be frustrating when:
The job scope and price don’t match once you arrive on-site, or
You choose not to take a job because the pricing doesn’t reflect the possible effort.
Provider-Priced Jobs were built to improve your experience by:
Giving you flexibility to adjust pricing based on what you see on-site
Helping ensure accurate, fair pay for the work completed
Creating greater transparency for property managers and providers alike
⚙️ How It Works
Accept a Provider-Priced Job
These jobs are clearly labeled in the app.
Each includes a Not To Exceed (NTE) amount — the highest total you can propose without additional approval.
Arrive On-Site and Review the Work
Assess the full scope, time, and materials required.
Enter Your Price when Closing the job
Submit your proposed price directly in the app before completing the job.
You can price up to the NTE, but pricing should always reflect the actual work completed.
Approval Process
Your submitted price will be reviewed by our team to confirm it aligns with the work performed.
In some cases, adjustments may be requested before final payment is approved.
Need to Go Over the NTE?
If the job requires more work than expected, submit an NTE increase request for approval directly in the app.
🧩 Example
You arrive for a Drywall job with an NTE of $250.
You assess the repair and determine it is only a $100 repair, under the NTE.
You complete the work and submit the pricing when closing the job.
Your price is reviewed and approved before payment is processed.
If you assess the repair and it will be greater than the NTE, you’d submit a NTE increase request for approval.
