Tom Richards
Plumber, Liverpool
"Rated People was costing me £340/month for leads that rarely converted. With Better Home Hub's pay-per-lead model (£39/lead on Professional tier), I only pay for quality leads I want and convert 3x more."
Lisa Parker
Decorator, Bristol
"The difference in lead quality is night and day. Rated People leads were mostly price shoppers. With Better Home Hub's pay-per-lead marketplace, I only purchase leads that look promising - customers are ready to book and value quality work."
James Wilson
Builder, Edinburgh
"Finally found a platform that understands contractors. With the Premium tier (£699/mo), I get £19 leads PLUS they run advertising campaigns for me. Less competition per lead, and customers who actually want the work done properly."

Common Questions About Switching from Rated People
Get answers to help you make the right decision
How does Better Home Hub's lead quality compare to Rated People?
Our leads are significantly higher quality because we pre-qualify every customer. Before they can request quotes, homeowners must confirm their budget range, project timeline, and provide detailed requirements. This eliminates time-wasters and ensures you're only contacted by serious customers ready to proceed. Rated People has minimal screening, leading to more unqualified leads.
Can I use both platforms while I test Better Home Hub?
Absolutely! Many contractors run both platforms initially to compare results. Our pay-per-lead marketplace means you only purchase the leads you want (£19-£49 each depending on your subscription tier), plus you get complete business management software. Most contractors find our superior conversion rates and lower overall costs allow them to reduce or cancel their Rated People subscription within 30-60 days.
How does the pay-per-lead pricing work?
You pay a monthly subscription (£159-699) for the complete business management platform. Leads are automatically matched to your services and location, but you only purchase the ones you want. Pricing is tiered: Essential £49/lead, Professional £39/lead (20% discount), Premium £19/lead (61% discount). Higher subscription = lower lead costs + more features. Premium tier also includes active advertising campaigns that generate leads FOR you!
How do you limit competition compared to Rated People?
We limit each lead to maximum 3 contractors, whereas Rated People often sends leads to 6-10 contractors. This gives you a much better chance of winning the work (33% vs 10-15%). We also match contractors more carefully based on specialization, location, and availability rather than sending leads to anyone willing to pay.
