What pros pay
A fixed share of the jobs a pro wins through Walkie Connect, by trade. The same rate for every pro in a trade, whatever their rating. Being on Connect costs nothing, and nobody can pay to be in the three.

Rates as of October 1, 2026.
How it works, exactly
What it's charged on
Charged on the accepted quote plus approved changes, before tax, permit pass-throughs excluded.
Which jobs
The first job from a request, and jobs with the same customer within 12 months.
When
When the job is marked done, or 30 days after the quote is accepted.
Never more than 10%
10% is the most, ever; rates change only with 30 days' notice, never on quotes already sent.
You never pay more because of this. The customer pays the pro's quote; Walkie bills the pro separately.
