Do I have to pay to use Local Heroes? How much?
There’s no signup fees, subscriptions, or bidding for jobs - instead we have a small commission for each job.
We do have a commission as we effectively handle marketing and advertising to generate interest for the jobs. We’ve found most traders feel this is fair, especially compared to other sites and because these are jobs they may not have otherwise had.
