Is it really free? What’s the catch? ▾
Genuinely free. No card, no trial timer, no upsell. AutomationHire is still building an audience, and a busier directory is more useful to everyone on it — so we’d rather have you listed than paying nothing at all.
Do you take commission on projects? ▾
No. We never take commission on deals between you and your clients. What you earn is 100% yours.
Will it stay free? ▾
Paid tiers will come back when the platform is busy enough to sustain itself. When that happens, existing listings get plenty of notice, a fair grandfathered rate, and the ability to keep everything they set up while free.
Why the “buy me a coffee” link? ▾
Servers, image renders and verification reviews all cost something. Coffee tips from people who found the site useful are what’s keeping the lights on until proper pricing kicks in. Completely optional — nothing on your account depends on it.
What counts as an “inbound lead”? ▾
A lead is when a business submits a quote request directly to your profile, or when our matching system routes a buyer to you. You receive their contact details and project brief.
