Hit milestones on jobs + ratings and your commission drops for good — into one of the lowest rates in home services. The better you do, the less Genie takes. You'll always see your exact rate in the app.
Your tips, materials and mileage are always 100% yours — on top of your pay. No lead fees on booked jobs, no monthly membership.
Everyday on-demand jobs never cost you a lead fee — you just pay commission when you get paid. For bigger quote-based projects (renovations, big installs, moves), Genie runs a pay-per-lead model designed around one idea: your money should only go toward real chances to win the job — not a stack of stale leads resold to pro after pro.
See a preview and the price first. The full brief unlocks only when you claim — and you're never charged twice for the same lead. No membership, no monthly wallet top-up.
Claim a lead, send the homeowner your quote, and win the work on your price and your profile. The lead closes the instant they hire someone — so you're never chasing a job that's already gone.
One clear, flat fee per service — a little under what the big lead sites charge — and you always see the exact price before you claim. No surprise per-lead charges, no credits to buy, and nothing hidden behind an annual contract.
How the big lead-selling platforms charge pros, for comparison (published rates, as of September 2026):
| 🧞 Genie | Angi Leads / HomeAdvisor | Thumbtack | Bark | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Membership / sign-up fee | None | ~US$300 / year | None | None |
| What you pay for a lead | One flat fee per service ($19–$249) — shown before you claim | ~$15–$100 per lead | Credits per quote (~$10–$80+) | Credits per lead (~$15–$30) |
| See the job & your exact fee before you pay? | Yes — preview + fee shown before you claim | No — leads pushed to you | Partial — variable credit cost | Partial — pay to see contact |
| Do credits / leads expire? | No prepaid credits to expire | Membership renews yearly | Credits can expire | Credits expire ~3 months |
Straight talk: like any advertising, a lead you claim is paid whether or not you win the job — so you only claim the projects you actually want to quote. What makes that fair on Genie: you always see the job and the exact fee before you claim, the lead closes the moment the customer hires, and you're never charged for the same lead twice.
Competitor figures are widely reported industry rates and policies as of September 2026 and vary by trade, market and plan. For current terms, check each platform's own site — Angi / HomeAdvisor (angi.com), Thumbtack (thumbtack.com) and Bark (bark.com).
If you're a whole-service provider — a security-camera or smart-home installer, an EV-charger or solar company, a home-theatre/AV pro, a wedding or real-estate photographer, or a home stager — publish your own Specialist Packages: name them, add photos and flyers, and set a flat all-in price. Customers book and pay through Genie, held in escrow. Listing is free, with no monthly fee — you keep the great majority of every booking, and a simple, fully disclosed fee applies only when you actually get paid. It's not advertising, and the best value (price + rating + reviews) ranks highest.
Publish supply+install bundles (cameras, smart home, AV, solar) or creative packages (wedding & real-estate media, staging). Free to list — you only pay a small, disclosed fee on a completed, escrow-protected booking.

The big one: on Thumbtack and Angi you pay up front for leads that go to several competitors — hundreds or thousands of dollars before you book a single job. On Genie, a booked job never costs you a lead fee.
Bring people onto Genie and share in the upside. Everything's funded by Genie — so it's real, and it's built into your payouts.
Invite a pro you trust. When they get going, you earn an ongoing referral bonus on their early jobs — extra income on top of your own, funded by Genie and automatically added to your payouts.
The pro you refer gets the 0% launch window too, so they're keen to join through your link — you both win from day one.
Share your link with homeowners. When they book, they get a first-time deal and you help build the demand that fills your calendar.
Genie sends you matched work for free — you never have to pay to be seen.

You start at 0% commission during your launch window (you only cover card processing), then settle into one of the lowest rates in home services — and your rate only ever goes <i>down</i> as you build jobs and ratings, never up.

Yes. Turn on hourly jobs, set-price jobs, quote-based project leads, or all of them — and change it any time. You also set your trades, your service area and your availability.
Most pros are approved the same day. Your identity and criminal record check run automatically the moment you submit — as soon as they clear, you can go online and get matched.
You get on-demand bookings and project leads matched to your trade, ratings and area — so the work that reaches you is relevant and nearby.
When a job is confirmed done — or automatically 48 hours after you mark it done, unless the customer reports a problem — your pay is released from escrow to your bank through Stripe. <b>Standard payouts are free</b> and land within a few business days — your very first payout can take up to about 7 days while Stripe runs a one-time fraud hold, then it speeds up. <b>Prefer it now?</b> Once your Stripe account has enough history (about 60 days), you can cash out instantly to your debit card in minutes for a small fee — about 1% in Canada — which comes out of your payout, not your pocket. On quote-based projects you're hired directly by the customer.
