credit based leads

The Rated People Alternative For UK Traders

Rated People sells job leads to traders using credits. TaapCraft removes the credit system entirely: you see work, quote for free and pay only on completion.

Why Traders Look For A Rated People Alternative

Credits must be topped up before you can respond

Unused or wasted credits are money already spent

Lead cost is unrelated to job value
