Flat-Price (FP) and Flat Rate Catalog are two distinct pricing types on the Lula Platform. While the names are confusing, they have significant differences.
Flat-Price (FP) jobs are a pre-determined, pre-set price. This could be for things like a larger, specialty replacement like an HVAC or Water Heater, but it could also be for something like a diagnosis or paid quote. If you see a Flat Price job, the price you see is the price you are paid for the listed job description (with caveats). Typically higher-ticket work that requires a separate quoting and procurement process.
Flat-Rate Catalog is the catalog-based pricing model for set services and general handyman work. You select from 500+ pre-priced services in the app, and your payout is set automatically based on your market tier. In the app, you'll see a Service Fee + Selected Services payout model. This means your payment is calculated based on the services you select. You can read more about it here.
Which jobs use the Flat Rate Catalog? Flat Rate Catalog is currently available for handyman (general maintenance) work. Licensed trades work, such as plumbing and electrical that requires a license, stays hourly. If a job includes both handyman work and licensed work, it is split into separate work orders, with the handyman portion paid through the catalog and the licensed portion paid hourly.
