A lot of lead platforms charge one flat number no matter who you are or where you work. A roofer in a major metro pays the same as a handyman in a small town, even though the jobs themselves are worth completely different amounts.
Jobiteer prices credits differently. The cost to unlock a job is based on your specialty plus the state and city the job is in, not a single number applied to everyone regardless of trade or market.
The formula is built around you, not a flat national fee
Instead of one price for the whole country, the cost formula multiplies a base rate for your specialty by a state factor and a city factor. That means the underlying system actually has a way to account for the fact that a lead in one market is worth more or less than the same kind of lead somewhere else, instead of pretending every job everywhere is interchangeable.
Specialty comes first
Different trades naturally have different job values. A small handyman fix and a full renovation lead aren't worth the same to you, so they shouldn't cost the same to unlock. Specialty is the base of the formula for exactly that reason.
Location gets factored in too
State and city both apply on top of your specialty's base rate. That's what lets the system distinguish between markets instead of treating a job in a big city the same as a job in a small one by default.
Still early, and adjustable
Right now, pricing is set at a consistent baseline while the platform is still growing, rather than guessing at market differences without real data behind it. The formula itself is fully in place and can be tuned by market over time, including from an optional feature where homeowners can share what they actually paid for a job after it's done. That's the honest way to get pricing right: build the structure first, then refine it with real numbers instead of assumptions.
What this means for you
You're not stuck under one flat fee that makes no sense for your specialty or your market. The pricing system was built from day one to account for the fact that not every lead, and not every place you work, is worth the same amount.
