Oneflare was one of the bigger Australian tradie lead sites for years. Its owner, Airtasker, retired it on 30 June 2026. If you used it to find work, your profile, reviews and job history went with it. This guide covers what happened, which sites are left, what they charge, and a short plan to replace the work.
What happened to Oneflare
- It closed on 30 June 2026. Airtasker says it "made the difficult decision to retire" Oneflare to focus only on Airtasker (Airtasker Support Centre).
- Billing stopped first. Auto-renewals were turned off from 1 June 2026, so no new subscription fees were charged after that.
- The site now points to Airtasker. Credits could be used until the shutdown, and users were told to save their job history before the closing date.
- The move-over offer has ended. From 21 May to 30 June 2026, Oneflare businesses that moved to Airtasker could get $0 service fees and keep their review rating, under set conditions (promotion terms). That window is closed.
What it means for you
- Old links are dead. Check your website, email signature, quotes, invoices, Facebook page and van signage for any link to your old Oneflare profile, and point them somewhere you control.
- Your Oneflare reviews are gone. If you saved screenshots, you can't repost them as reviews somewhere else, but past customers can leave a fresh review on your Google Business Profile. Ask the ones you know were happy.
- The work didn't vanish. Homeowners who used Oneflare now search Google, go to the other lead sites or ask around. Being findable in several places matters more than which single platform you pick.
Your options and what they cost
Prices below are as published on each company's own site when we checked on 3 November 2026. They change, so check them yourself before you sign up. Find My Tradie isn't affiliated with any of these businesses.
| Option | How you pay (as published) | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Airtasker | Free to make offers. When you win and finish a task, a service fee of 12.5% to 20% of the task price (plus tax) is taken, depending on your tier (source). | This is where Oneflare now redirects. Suits small, quick jobs. On big jobs a percentage adds up. |
| hipages | Memberships from $139 + GST a month (Starter, 155 credits) to $649 + GST (Platinum). Credits are spent to accept leads (source). | 6-month introductory term, then renews on a 12-month term. Credits per lead vary by trade, location, job size and demand (source). |
| ServiceSeeking | Memberships from $129 a month. The price depends on your industry and location, and mostly on how many leads you can expect (source). | Exact pricing is shown inside your account before you buy, so get a quote for your trade and area. |
| Free listings | $0. Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect and free directory listings. | The most important free step for most tradies is a Google Business Profile with real reviews. See our free listings guide. |
| Flat-fee directory (Find My Tradie) | $19 a month inc GST. No lead fees, credits or commission. | No guaranteed leads. Customers contact you directly. Cancel any time by email. |

A 5-step plan to replace Oneflare
- Set up or tidy your Google Business Profile. If you work at customers' homes, you can set a service area and hide your home address. Add photos of real jobs and your licence number where relevant.
- Ask your last 10 happy customers for a Google review. A short text with the direct review link works best.
- Pick one lead source and track it. Write down what you spend and how many jobs you actually win each month. Cost per won job is the number that matters, not cost per lead.
- Add cheap, always-on listings. Free directories plus one low-cost listing mean you still show up when a lead site changes its rules or shuts down.
- Own your contact list. Keep past customers' details (with their OK) so you can tell them about seasonal services. A platform can close; your customer list can't.

Frequently asked questions
Did Oneflare shut down?
Yes. Airtasker retired Oneflare on 30 June 2026. The Oneflare website and app now point to Airtasker, and auto-renewals were turned off from 1 June 2026.
Can I get my Oneflare reviews back?
Airtasker offered to carry Oneflare review ratings across to Airtasker only during its migration promotion (21 May to 30 June 2026), and that has ended. If you need records, contact Airtasker support. The practical fix is to ask past customers for new Google reviews.
What is the cheapest Oneflare alternative for tradies?
Free listings such as Google Business Profile and Bing Places cost nothing. Among paid options, a flat-fee directory such as Find My Tradie costs $19 a month including GST with no lead fees, while lead sites like hipages and ServiceSeeking start from about $129 to $139 a month (as published on 3 November 2026).
Is Find My Tradie connected to Oneflare or Airtasker?
No. Find My Tradie is an independent Australian directory run by National Sales Corp Pty Ltd. It isn't affiliated with Oneflare, Airtasker, hipages or ServiceSeeking.
Will Find My Tradie send me leads like Oneflare did?
No. It isn't a lead marketplace. Homeowners search the directory and contact the business they choose. It's new, so we can't guarantee any number of enquiries.
