how we make money
One sentence: you pay us; nobody else does.
what we charge
The free verdict costs nothing. The full audit is S$49 one-time. The Project Pass is S$99 one-time and covers every quote for your reno for 12 months. That's the entire business model — no subscriptions, no upsells to firms, no advertising.
what we will never do
- ✕selling your details to contractors or IDs — no leads, ever
- ✕referral commissions or success fees from any firm
- ✕featured placement, sponsorships, or ads near an audit
- ✕letting a firm pay to appear — or to disappear
- ✕contractor rebuttals or edits inside your audit
Why so absolute? Because the moment a platform earns from the firms whose quotes it judges, its verdicts stop being worth anything. Independence isn't a feature of RenoRates — it is the product.
what about your data?
Anonymised line items from audited quotes (work descriptions, quantities, prices — never names, contacts, or firm identities) build the Singapore rates database that makes every verdict sharper. That data flows one way: from quotes into benchmarks that serve homeowners. If we ever offer contractors anything, it will be aggregate market statistics about their own pricing — never your quote, never your identity, and never a way to influence what you see in an audit. This page was published before we earned a single dollar from any firm — hold us to it.
