Frequently asked questions
Does Poolified take a commission on pool builds or marketplace sales?
No. Builders pay subscription plans and brief unlock fees; marketplace sellers pay nothing on the Free plan or a flat Trade subscription. We never take a percentage of your build or your sale.
What does Poolified cost a homeowner?
Nothing. Quotes, messaging and the client portal are free. The only optional paid service is Pool Concierge, an independent expert review.
How does the 30-day builder trial work?
Every new builder account gets 30 days of Poolified Pro free, no card required. When it ends, everything you set up stays exactly where you left it and comes back the moment a plan is active.
Are prices inclusive of GST?
Yes — every price on Poolified is in Australian dollars and includes GST. Tax invoices are issued for all charges and available from Plan & billing.
Can I cancel my builder plan any time?
Yes, from Plan & billing → Manage billing. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep access until then. Your project data isn't deleted.
Are brief unlock fees refundable?
No — once a homeowner's contact details are revealed, the fee is final, whether or not you win the job. You can read the full brief before deciding to unlock, so you're never paying blind.
How many builders see my brief?
Up to four builders can unlock any brief. Your details are only shared with builders who pay to take your specific brief — never sold or broadcast.
What happens if a builder's licence or insurance lapses?
They come off the panel until it's reinstated. Verification isn't a one-time stamp — licences and insurance are re-checked.
Does Poolified handle marketplace payments?
Not for private sales — buyers and sellers deal directly, which is why we recommend inspecting before paying. Subscriptions, unlocks and featured listings are processed securely by Stripe.
What does Poolified AI do with what I type?
It drafts — a listing, a brief, a site log, a quote note — and a person always reviews before anything is saved or sent. It never invents facts or prices, and it can't take actions on your account by itself.
