QTR — Local Trade Pros

By The Hour LLC

About this app

Need an electrician, plumber, or handyman? QTR gets you real quotes from real local pros — without the phone tag.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Describe the job and drop a pin on the address.
2. Every qualified pro nearby is alerted instantly.
3. Compare real quotes with verified star ratings.
4. Accept the one you want. Phone numbers are exchanged and you take it from there.

FOR CLIENTS
• A $1.99 request fee keeps the pool serious — it confirms your job is real, so pros actually answer. If nobody quotes within 2 hours, it comes back to you automatically as QTR credit.
• Ratings and reviews come only from clients who completed a real, paid job.
• Watch your pro's ETA on the map when they're on the way.
• You pay your pro directly. QTR never holds your job money.

FOR PROS
• Listing your business is free, and your first 5 quotes are free.
• Paid, verified job requests in your trade and service area come straight to you.
• You're charged 4% only when a client accepts your quote ($2 minimum) — quotes that don't win never cost you anything.
• QTR Pro is $19.99/month per business (+$5/month per extra trade) and keeps you quoting after your free quotes are used. First month free, cancel anytime.
• Add your crew, and alert the whole team the moment a lead lands.

PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK
QTR shows clients your city and a distance — never your street address. Live location is shared only while a pro chooses to send their ETA on the way to a job, and it stops when the trip ends. There is no background tracking and no advertising SDKs.

Payments are handled securely by Stripe. QTR is a service of By The Hour LLC. Currently serving the Houston, Texas metro area.

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic app! The free listing feature makes it super easy to promote my business and reach a wider audience. The user interface is intuitive and straightforward. I love how quickly I can create and manage my listings. Highly recommend for anyone looking to boost their visibility without extra costs.

"Absolutely fantastic experience! From booking the service to completion of the task, everything was seamless. The handyman was skilled, friendly, and tidied up after himself. Will definitely be using this app again and will recommending it my friends and family."

What’s new

Address verification fix: the app no longer gives up on a slow connection. Tap "Verify address" when you're done typing — it retries automatically and tells you exactly what happened if it can't get through. Nothing else changed.
