Frequently Asked Questions

Is TradeHive a leads platform like ProCompare? +

No. TradeHive does not sell leads to businesses. Instead, homeowners search the directory and contact businesses directly through the profile information shown on the platform. That means businesses are not charged per enquiry or per lead, and homeowners are not routed through a middleman before reaching the business.

Is it free for businesses to sign up on TradeHive? +

Yes. Any trade or service business in South Africa can create a free listing on TradeHive. A free profile can include a business name, description, services, service areas, contact details, and photos. Paid plans are available for extra visibility features, but a standard listing can still be created without paying to join the directory.

Are the paid TradeHive plans monthly subscriptions? +

Yes. All paid TradeHive plans are monthly recurring subscriptions. Billing runs month to month rather than on a long fixed contract. Businesses can move between plans if needed, and subscription access is based on the plan currently active on the account.

Do businesses need to sign a long-term contract? +

No. TradeHive’s paid plans are month to month. Businesses do not need to sign a long-term contract to use the platform. They can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel without being locked into a fixed multi-month term.

What is the Trusted badge on TradeHive? +

The Trusted badge indicates that a business has completed TradeHive’s trust and vetting process and has submitted supporting information for review. It is intended to give homeowners an added level of confidence when comparing businesses on the platform. It is not a guarantee of workmanship, but it does signal that the business has met TradeHive’s current trust requirements.

How do I find a tradesperson on TradeHive? +

To find a tradesperson on TradeHive, enter your town or region and your trade category in the search tool. For example, you can search for a plumber in Paarl or an electrician in Langebaan. TradeHive then shows matching business profiles with contact details, services, locations covered, and other profile information to help you compare options and contact the business directly.

What trades and services can I find on TradeHive? +

TradeHive lists a wide range of trade and home service categories across South Africa. These include plumbers, electricians, builders, painters, roofers, landscapers, handymen, solar installers, garage door specialists, waterproofing services, security installers, and many other service businesses. The directory is designed so homeowners can search by both service type and location.
