QTR — Local Trade Pros

Need an electrician, plumber, or handyman? QTR gets you real quotes from real local pros — without the phone tag.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Describe the job and drop a pin on the address.
2. Every qualified pro nearby is alerted instantly.
3. Compare real quotes with verified star ratings.
4. Accept the one you want. Phone numbers are exchanged and you take it from there.

FOR CLIENTS
• A $1.99 request fee keeps the pool serious — it confirms your job is real, so pros actually answer. If nobody quotes within 2 hours, it comes back to you automatically as QTR credit.
• Ratings and reviews come only from clients who completed a real, paid job.
• Watch your pro's ETA on the map when they're on the way.
• You pay your pro directly. QTR never holds your job money.

FOR PROS
• Listing your business is free, and your first 5 quotes are free.
• Paid, verified job requests in your trade and service area come straight to you.
• You're charged 4% only when a client accepts your quote ($2 minimum) — quotes that don't win never cost you anything.
• QTR Pro is $19.99/month per business (+$5/month per extra trade) and keeps you quoting after your free quotes are used. First month free, cancel anytime.
• Add your crew, and alert the whole team the moment a lead lands.

PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK
QTR shows clients your city and a distance — never your street address. Live location is shared only while a pro chooses to send their ETA on the way to a job, and it stops when the trip ends. There is no background tracking and no advertising SDKs.

Payments are handled securely by Stripe. QTR is a service of By The Hour LLC. Currently serving the Houston, Texas metro area.

Address verification fix: the app no longer gives up on a slow connection. Tap "Verify address" when you're done typing — it retries automatically and tells you exactly what happened if it can't get through. Nothing else changed.
