AllSorted vs MyBuilder: what to compare

Start with availability, not promises

Check whether each service can help with your trade, postcode and timing. AllSorted’s initial Cardiff recruitment covers cleaners, non-gas plumbers and electricians; relevant trade/area launch dates are unset. Check MyBuilder directly for its current coverage and terms. Do not assume either service will provide a particular number of quotes or a response within a fixed time.

AllSorted’s Cardiff approach

Customers use the AllSorted iPhone app. Professionals complete their profiles in AllSorted Pro, available on iPhone and Android. The website explains the service; it does not take bookings. Responses and jobs depend on available local activity.

Compare the complete cost

AllSorted has no per-lead fee and no commission. Its founding offer gives the first 50 unique eligible Cardiff Pros with completed profiles six free calendar months from their actual relevant trade/area launch. It includes unlimited access to available relevant leads, not a guarantee of work. Paid continuation requires explicit opt-in to a fixed subscription; the price is unconfirmed. Read the eligibility and conditions.

For MyBuilder, check the current fee schedule rather than relying on an old price comparison. Ask about subscriptions, lead or contact charges, cancellation, renewal and refunds. For customers, compare the complete written job price, including materials and exclusions. A different platform fee model does not establish which job quote is cheaper.

Understand what was actually checked

AllSorted’s optional ID verification badge is separate from essential trade qualifications, which are required for relevant bids. An ID badge is not proof of every professional qualification. On any platform, check what each badge means, how current credentials are, and the requirements relevant to your work.

Read profiles and reviews critically

Look for relevant experience, clear communication and specific examples of comparable work. Read review details and dates, and ask how the platform confirms a review relates to a completed job. Do not treat a rating alone as a guarantee.

Choose for your actual job

• Confirm that your area and trade are available before relying on a platform.
• Send the same description and photos to each professional so quotes cover the same scope.
• Ask about qualifications, insurance, timing and exclusions.
• Check the current booking, cancellation, payment and complaints terms before agreeing.
