Your Contact Info Can't Be Scraped From Your Bio

Jobiteer strips phone numbers, email addresses, and street addresses out of profile bios before they're ever saved, so bots crawling public profiles have nothing to harvest.

Blind Reviews Help Prevent Retaliation

On Jobiteer, neither you nor the homeowner can see the other's review until both are in. That makes it much harder for a review to turn into payback for an honest one.

One Grudge Can't Take You Down

On Jobiteer, a single bad-faith report can't knock a contractor off the platform. Reports about people are reviewed by our team, and automatic hiding takes a real pattern, not one grudge.

Moderation Is Never Finished

Keeping a job board trustworthy isn't a box you check once. Here's how Jobiteer's moderation has changed recently, and what's still on our list.

Protecting Yourself From Bad-Faith Homeowners

Most homeowners are great to work with, but not all. Jobiteer gives you ways to block, report, rate, and step away from homeowners who harass you or act in bad faith.

Reported Posts Get Hidden Automatically

On Jobiteer, a job post that enough different people report is hidden and closed automatically, without waiting for a moderator. Here's how reporting works and what it protects you from.

What You See Is What You Unlock

On Jobiteer you decide what to spend on by reading the job post first. Here's what keeps those posts trustworthy, and where the limits are.

Duplicate Job Posts Get Blocked Automatically

Jobiteer automatically stops a homeowner from re-posting an identical job shortly after the original, so the same request can't be bumped back to the top of the board over and over.

Cleaner ROI Math on Your Leads

With no recurring fee to spread across your results, it's easier to tell whether Jobiteer is paying off. Your transaction history and invoices give you the numbers you need.

Test a New Trade or Area Without a Big Commitment

Thinking about taking on work in an adjacent trade or a new service area? On Jobiteer you can try it with a few credits, see what's out there first, and scale up or back off without a recurring plan.

Incentives That Point the Right Way

Jobiteer has no locked-in subscription revenue. Contractors only buy credits when leads are worth it, which ties our success to lead quality, not to collecting fees regardless of results.

Cleaner Records for Your Books

Every credit purchase on Jobiteer is a one-time transaction with its own record, and web purchases come with a numbered invoice. Here's what you get for your bookkeeping.

No Feature Tiers, Just Credits

On Jobiteer, every credit works the same way. Credit packs differ only in size and bulk price, and buying a bigger pack doesn't unlock any extra features, so you can buy exactly what you need.

Built for Part-Time and Side-Gig Contractors

If you take on jobs nights and weekends around a day job, Jobiteer won't charge you a flat fee for weeks you can't work. You unlock jobs when you have capacity and pay nothing when you don't.

Built for Seasonal Trades

If your work is heavy in some months and quiet in others, Jobiteer won't charge you a subscription through your off-season. You spend credits when your season is on and nothing when it isn't.

Nothing to Cancel

Jobiteer has no recurring charge, so there's nothing running in the background that you have to remember to shut off. Every purchase is a one-time payment you make on purpose.

No Monthly Fee Before You've Earned a Dime

Jobiteer doesn't charge a monthly fee. Signing up is free, you start with free credits, and credits are only spent when you choose to use them, so your costs line up with real opportunities instead of the calendar.

No Pay-to-Play in Lead Pricing

On Jobiteer, every contractor pays the same unlock cost for the same job. There's no bidding for placement and no paid boost that pushes you ahead of other contractors.

Simple Pricing While We're Early

Jobiteer is a young platform, and our unlock pricing is deliberately simple right now. Here's how it works today, and how we plan to refine it once there's real data to go on.

No Surge Pricing on Leads

On Jobiteer, a job's unlock cost doesn't rise with demand or with how many contractors are interested. You see the price before you unlock, and it's based only on fixed details of the job.

Spend on Job Quality, Not Fear of Getting Stiffed

With homeowner silence covered by Jobiteer's automatic refund, your unlock decisions can focus on what matters: whether the job fits your work. Here's what to look at on each post.

A Safety Net, Not a Strategy

Jobiteer's ghosted-lead refund protects you against bad luck, like a homeowner who never answers. It doesn't cover bad-fit unlocks, so choosing jobs carefully still matters.

Every Unlock Is Protected on Its Own

On Jobiteer, each unlock is checked individually for the ghosted-lead refund, with no cap on how many can come back. A run of silent homeowners doesn't have to add up to a real loss.

Fake and Abandoned Posts Shouldn't Cost You

On Jobiteer, a job post where the homeowner never engages doesn't cost you your credits, and several built-in safeguards help keep duplicate, spam, and abandoned posts off the board in the first place.

Ghosted Leads Handled by Design, Not by Request

Paying for leads that never respond is a long-running frustration for contractors. On Jobiteer, the fix is part of how the platform works: if a homeowner never replies to you, your credits come back automatically.

Unlock With Confidence, Not Guesswork

Because Jobiteer refunds your credits when a homeowner never replies, you don't have to agonize over which homeowners will respond. Pick jobs that fit your work and let the refund handle true silence.

A Lower-Risk Way to Try a New Lead Source

Testing Jobiteer doesn't require a big bet. You start with free credits, there's no subscription to commit to, and if a homeowner never replies, your unlock credits come back automatically.

Refunds Follow the Job's Real Lifecycle

Jobiteer's ghosted-lead refund is decided when the job actually closes, not after a guessed waiting period. That gives you a clear, defined point where "no response" becomes final.

Why Any Reply Cancels the Ghosting Refund

Jobiteer's automatic refund covers true silence only. If a homeowner replies even once, the unlock stays spent, because a real conversation happened. Here's why that rule keeps things fair for you.

Refunds for Silent Leads Need No Dispute

When a homeowner never replies to you on Jobiteer, your unlock credits come back on their own. No support ticket, no screenshots, and no arguing your case.

You Don't Have to Race for Every Lead

Jobiteer doesn't auto-assign leads or limit how many contractors can unlock a job, so you can look at jobs on your own schedule and decide when you're ready instead of reacting under pressure.

Your Spend Flexes With Your Season

Jobiteer has no recurring charge, so you can pull back completely during a slow season and ramp up again when you have capacity, without paying for months you didn't use.

No Pressure to Use It or Lose It

Jobiteer has no subscription fee and purchased credits never expire, so you're never pushed to unlock jobs you don't want just to get your money's worth. Every credit you spend is a deliberate choice.

You Don't Lose Credits When a Homeowner Goes Silent

If you unlock a job on Jobiteer and the homeowner never replies, your credits come back automatically once the job closes. A lead that goes nowhere doesn't have to eat into your budget.

Being Selective Doesn't Cost You Anything

On Jobiteer, passing on a job that isn't a great fit costs you nothing. There's no charge, no penalty, and no hit to your standing for jobs you scroll past and never unlock.

Control Your Workload, Not Just Your Wallet

On Jobiteer you choose which jobs to unlock, so you also choose how many active leads you're handling at once. Nothing gets auto-matched to you or auto-charged to your balance.

No Instant Match Anxiety

Jobiteer never auto-charges you the moment a homeowner posts a job. You decide, on your own timeline, whether it's worth a credit.

Why You Only Pay for Jobs That Actually Fit Your Business

Jobiteer lets you see the full job before spending a credit, so every unlock is a deliberate choice that fits your trade, area, and schedule, not a gamble on a bucket of leads.

Browsing Is Free on Jobiteer

Scrolling the Jobiteer job board never costs anything. A credit only gets spent the moment you decide a specific job is worth unlocking.

Location Details Up Front

Jobiteer shows you exactly where a job is located before you unlock it, so you're never spending a credit on something too far away to be worth the drive.

Compare Multiple Jobs Before Choosing

Jobiteer's board shows several open jobs at once, so you can weigh which one is the better use of a credit instead of committing to leads one at a time as they arrive.

You Won't Pay for a Lead That Goes Silent

Jobiteer automatically refunds your credit if a homeowner never responds after you unlock their job. No support ticket, no arguing your case.

Why Your Credit Cost Reflects Your Specialty and Your Market

Jobiteer prices credits by specialty, state, and city instead of one flat number for everyone, so the system can actually reflect what a lead is worth in your market.

Why Jobiteer Doesn't Charge You a Monthly Fee

Jobiteer runs on one-time credit purchases, not a subscription, so you're never paying for access during a slow month when you've got nothing to unlock.

How Jobiteer Keeps the Job Board Free of Spam and Duplicates

Automated checks block duplicate job postings and rate-limit AI-generated spam, so what you're scrolling through on Jobiteer is real work, not clutter.

How Jobiteer Handles Reported Jobs and Abusive Users

Reported job posts on Jobiteer get automatically hidden once they cross a report threshold. Reported users trigger a direct alert to the admin, so nothing gets ignored.

Why Job Posts on Jobiteer Don't Sit Around Forever

Jobiteer job posts auto-close after 30 days with no hire, or 60 days if hired but not finished, so you're never unlocking a job that's actually long dead.

Your Contact Info Isn't Just Hidden, It's Removed

Jobiteer doesn't just hide phone numbers, emails, and addresses on screen. They're stripped out before they're ever stored, so the raw info doesn't exist for anyone to find.

Message and Share Photos Without Giving Out Your Number

Jobiteer messaging happens entirely in-app, so you can talk through a job (and share photos on web) without ever handing over your personal phone number.

Scheduling Happens Where the Conversation Happens

On the Jobiteer mobile app, mentioning a date or time in chat turns it into a tap-to-schedule block, so you're not jumping to a separate calendar just to lock in an appointment.

Your Reputation Travels With You

Jobiteer reviews are just star ratings and real written feedback, no gameable tag system, so what shows up on your profile reflects what customers actually said.

Running a Crew? Your Team's Ratings Pool Together

Jobiteer company accounts let your employees' individual ratings pool into one shared business reputation, so you're not managing a scattered set of disconnected solo profiles.

Not Limited to the U.S.

Jobiteer supports worldwide locations, built into signup, job posting, and matching from the ground up, so contractors outside the U.S. and Canada aren't shut out.

A Real Native App, Built Around This Flow

Jobiteer's Android app is a real native build made specifically for see-first-then-unlock, not a generic wrapper bolted onto a lead marketplace.

You Self-Select for Fit, Not Just Proximity

Jobiteer shows you the full job description and photos before you unlock it, so you can filter for jobs that match your actual skill level and equipment, not just your ZIP code.

Photos Before You Commit

Jobiteer shows you the homeowner's photos before you unlock a job, so you can gauge the real scope of the work instead of finding out it's bigger, smaller, or different once you show up.

Your First Message Can Be Specific, Not Generic

Since you read the full job post before unlocking it on Jobiteer, your first message to a homeowner can reference their actual problem instead of a copy-paste pitch.

You're Not Paying to Find Out a Lead Is Garbage

Since you see the full job post before unlocking it on Jobiteer, vague or low-effort listings get filtered out by your own judgment before any credit is spent.

What You're Buying Is Verified Real

Jobiteer combines automated spam and duplicate detection with full visibility before you unlock, so a job has already passed a basic legitimacy check before you even look at it.

No Racing Other Contractors Blind

Jobiteer has no instant-match notification pushing you to grab a lead before someone else does. You can read carefully and unlock a job on your own timeline.

Better Quoting From the Start

Since you see full job details before you even message on Jobiteer, your initial quote can be more accurate, saving back-and-forth once you're already invested in a job.

You Set Your Own Budget, Not the Platform

Jobiteer has no subscription and no recurring charge. You buy a credit pack whenever you actually need one, on your own schedule, not the platform's.

Your Credits Don't Move Until You Do

Credits on Jobiteer sit in your account untouched until you actively choose to unlock a job. Nothing gets deducted just because a job matches your profile.

You Always Know Your Balance in Real Time

Your credit balance on Jobiteer updates live the instant it changes, no manual refresh needed, so you're always deciding with accurate information in front of you.

No Bidding Wars Driving Up Cost

Jobiteer pricing is set by a fixed formula, not an auction. You know the cost to unlock a job ahead of time and it never changes because other contractors are competing for it.

Predictable, Flat Cost Per Job

Jobiteer's pricing is based on your specialty and the job's state and city, a fixed formula that lets you actually calculate your cost per lead in advance.

You Control Your Own Workload, Not Just Your Wallet

Choosing which jobs to unlock on Jobiteer also means choosing how many active leads you're juggling. No auto-matched leads piling up without your say.

Why Jobiteer Lets You See the Job Before You Spend a Credit

Jobiteer shows contractors the full job post before they unlock it — no blind leads, no wasted credits. Here's why that changes everything about how you find work.
