MyBuilder charges £2–£35 per shortlist whether you win or not. Try Review Bloom builds your Google presence permanently for £297/month — no per-lead fees, no shared leads.
MyBuilder's pay-per-shortlist model sounds fair. In practice, tradespeople pay £2–£35 every time a homeowner shows interest — whether they reply, hire you, or ghost you.
A busy tradesperson quoting 15–20 jobs a month can easily spend £200–£400 in MyBuilder shortlist fees — with no guaranteed return. The fundamental problem is the same as all lead platforms: you're paying to access someone else's audience, and the moment you stop funding your account, you vanish.
Try Review Bloom puts you on Google Maps — where customers find you directly, exclusively, and for free once your ranking is established.
One builds something permanent. One you rent indefinitely.
