No subscription. No credits. No bidding wars. The client's money sits in escrow before you pick up a tool — you do the work, they approve, you get paid. 5% commission, capped at £500. That's it.
Join the first 100You pay nothing to join, nothing to quote, nothing to message a client, nothing to list. A flat 5% Completion Commission comes out only when escrow releases to you — and even that's capped at £500 per job.
"I was spending £180 a month on leads I never won. First month on Hyyryn I paid £67 in commission — on jobs I actually completed."
Three real-world jobs. See exactly what you'd keep after commission — and how the cap protects you on bigger work.
Lead-gen platforms take your money whether you win the job or not. You're paying for the privilege of competing. Here's what the big names actually cost:
| Quotes submitted | 10 |
| Jobs won | 2 |
| Lead fees elsewhere (10 x £25) | -£250 |
| Lead fees on Hyyryn | £0 |
| Commission on Hyyryn (2 x £40) | -£80 |
| Saved with Hyyryn | £170 |
No chasing invoices. No "the cheque's in the post." The client funds the job upfront — you see the money is real before you pick up a tool.
Homeowner describes what they need. You get notified if it's your trade and area.
Send your price with a breakdown. No lead fee, no credit. If you don't win, you've lost nothing.
Full amount is held securely by Stripe before you start. You can see the money is there — real, protected, waiting.
Before and after photos, timestamped. They protect you in any dispute just as much as they protect the client.
Escrow releases minus 5% commission. In your bank within 1-2 working days. Auto-release if they don't act.
Side by side with the platforms you already know. The numbers speak for themselves.

On lead-gen platforms you're paying to compete. On Hyyryn, you only pay when you've already won and been paid.
Your quote appears first when the client reviews responses. No subscription, no auto-renewal — one-off, per job, only when you want it.
We verify every tradesperson before they can quote. It protects homeowners — and stops you competing against unqualified cowboys.
Passport or driving licence. Checked against your name and address. 30 seconds.
Upload your certificate. We check the policy is active and covers your trade.
Gas Safe, NICEIC, NAPIT, City & Guilds — we verify the registration number directly.
Trading name, postcode, years experience, primary trade. Your profile is built from this.
Escrow doesn't just protect homeowners. It protects you from scope creep, late payments, and "I'll pay you next week" excuses.

At the moment the client approves the job and escrow releases. Not before. If a job cancels before you start, you owe nothing. If a dispute is partially released, the 5% applies only to the amount that actually clears to you.
Because big jobs shouldn't punish you for staying on-platform. Above £10,000, the percentage effectively shrinks — a £20,000 kitchen still only pays £500 commission. The cap is designed so you never have a reason to take a big job off-platform to save fees.
No. No joining fee, no monthly subscription, no credits, no per-quote fee, no per-message fee, no withdrawal fee. The only costs are 5% on completed work (capped at £500) and an optional £3 boost if you want priority on a specific job.
The moment the client signs off, escrow releases instantly. Payouts to your bank typically take 1-2 working days. Auto-release kicks in after the review window even if the client hasn't actively approved.
Hyyryn reviews both sides — messages, photos, quote, work history. Most disputes resolve within days, not weeks. Disputes often resolve in your favour or are partially released. The process is free on your side.
Our platform fee is subject to VAT reverse charge for VAT-registered pros, so you account for it on your own return. If you're not VAT-registered, the fee is quoted inclusive. Your monthly invoice has all the details your accountant needs.
Completely up to you. Most pros quote their normal rate and absorb the 5% as the cost of skipping lead fees — they come out ahead almost every week. Some uplift by 5% across the board. Either way is fine; the client sees one number.
