How Much is Checkatrade?

If you are asking “how much is Checkatrade per month?” or researching Checkatrade prices before signing up, here is the short version for tradespeople.

1. What is Checkatrade's pricing structure?

Checkatrade uses a membership subscription model.

You pay a monthly fee to be listed in their directory. Pricing varies by trade, postcode, and expected lead volume.

There is also a one-off joining and vetting fee when you first sign up.

There is no separate per-lead charge. Your membership fee covers visibility in the directory, and enquiries come to you directly.

2. So how much does it cost for the average trade?

Checkatrade says basic plans start from around £30 + VAT per month, but most tradespeople pay more than that in practice.

A realistic guide for many trades looks like this:

3. Generate leads from your website instead of paying

Paying for directory visibility can be great to fill gaps in your calendar.

To grow your business and keep adding revenue you need to own your lead pipeline.
