Pricing policy · 2026-08-30

Clear fees before you bid.

eznest does not charge for leads, bids, listings, seats, or placement. Marketplace origination and payment facilitation are separate services with separate fees, shown before acceptance.

Nothing is collected yet. eznest charges none of these fees today; they are the rates that will apply once fee collection is switched on.

Three rails, one payment rule

The relationship—not a dropdown—determines the fee.

Every eznest-facilitated payment carries the 0.5% payment-facilitation fee and actual processor cost. Marketplace-originated work also carries its marketplace service fee.

Worked example

0.5% is the payment-facilitation fee—not the total processing cost.

Each eznest fee below is computed from the published policy. Stripe's processing fee is added at its actual cost, which depends on the payment method and Stripe's rate when the invoice is accepted.

Direct client or Pro-to-Pro

Example invoice
$1,000.00
eznest payment-facilitation fee (0.5%)
$5.00
Stripe processing
Actual cost, no eznest markup

See Stripe Canada pricing for its current rates. Original processing fees may not be returned after a refund; each applicable eznest fee component is reversed proportionally with refunded principal.

$100.00
Payment facilitation (0.5%)
$5.00
eznest fees on the example

Pricing protections

What we refuse to monetize.

The marketplace should earn from approved work, not from selling access to the chance of work.

No seat tax

Hiring or inviting another team member does not create a per-seat platform charge.

No paid placement

Providers cannot buy a better rank, sponsored match, or preferred listing position.

No lead fee

Receiving, reviewing, declining, or bidding on a marketplace opportunity is free.

No silent re-rate

Awarded work keeps its snapshotted fee; a later policy change cannot rewrite it.

What is live today

No fee is collected yet.

These are the final rates, and eznest charges none of them today. When fee collection is switched on, the fee on each job or invoice is shown to you before it is accepted, at the rates on this page.

There are no private or negotiated provider-specific rates. The public fee policy published by eznest is the complete rate authority for every new obligation under this policy version.
