Oneflare

The painters known as Aus Bee Tong don't speak a lot of English, but they are pretty handy with a paint brush! While they get on with the job of painting, Andrew, another member of the team is careful to ask questions, explain procedures and to ensure that the painters understand exactly what you want. All together they are a team that works very well. I am happy to recommend them as professional, quick, considerate and kind. Julie

We were rapt with the service provided by Rubber Ducky when we embarked on the daunting renovation of our bathroom. Owners, Mal and Leah, were very helpful from the beginning of the process, accompanying us to bathroom showrooms and making recommendations and suggestions as the job rolled on. All of the workers involved in the job: demolition, tiling, plumbing, electrical, sheeting and final fixes: were meticulous, prompt and friendly. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new bathroom.

Amazingly fast service, even after hours. I enquired on a service and it was booked within 5 mins, quotes came through very quickly from multiple suppliers. So much easier than doing my own research through individual searches of companies

Great service and follow up call, with a good result. I was called within 10 min of sending out an email by Mayank at Make My Website. We met the next day and decided to use there services three days latter so looking forward to working together.

Hired a painting business only to have the project ruined. These guys were masquerading as professional painters and the result is sickening.It seems Oneflare host just anybody without a proper screening process. We are contacting Dept of Fair Trading about the contractor and implicating Oneflare also for hosting these mugs. I second, stay away.

Each time I've posted for quotes on Oneflare I've had immediate and positive responses. Accepting 3 companies to quote is plenty for me as it can otherwise be overwhelming. Thank you Oneflare for providing such a great service. I will always recommend your website.

As a small business owner I was hoping Oneflare could help however they do very little. Authentic customers are few amongst the many that post jobs. There is so little information available that's it's impossible to grasp the customers needs let alone provide an rough quote. So you are required to pay a fee in credits between $10-20 (which is on top of $430 every 3 months just to use the service) to open up communication to the customer only to not get a response from the majority of them. When queried about the lack of detail, I was told by the sales member * that more customer information would be available once I upgrade my plan. This was a lie and I was mislead. I asked for a refund on that basis. This was denied. That's false advertising and I'm raising this with the office of Fair Trade.

Joined to find an accountant had several email replies, most very professional however one was extremely rude and unprofessional, contacted oneflare and was told someone would contact me, still no contact obviously not interested in customer service

They don't help when an incident happens, our property was damaged severally. Don't be fooled by their website saying a business is verified or insured it means nothing! This is just a way they advertise and look professional but when push comes to shove means NOTHING. They listen to you and they contact the other party when you complain but that's it. They advise you they can't do anything more than that and basically end it politely with a bad luck.

One flare claim to bring clients to your business. I signed up for their premium service at $99/month for 4 months in total without generating any work. The cost to bid on jobs is random (and too expensive). They do not validate the jobs or the contacts. Most jobs requested unrealistic low budgets. I don't know how any business makes money from jobs on Oneflare. And their support & service stops once you sign on with them. It took them two weeks to correct a problem with my listing where my business profile was not displayed. A complete wast of money. There are more cost effective methods of generating business.

May I warn potential advertisers with Oneflare that these people do not represent your best interests.
I have found their leads to be generally unqualified and after I signed on as the only provider in my sector in my area they jacked the price per lead up significantly claiming that because I had signed on there had been a 100% increase in demand, hence the price rise. Oneflare have now cancelled my account balance to zero and are refusing to provide a statement of transactions which would enable me in formalising my complaint to the Office of Fair Trading.
Be very, very careful before you flush you advertising budget down the toilet of Oneflare.
I'm using my real name and I'm happy to discuss this with anyone who has a question.

Oneflare has cost us thousands of dollars and caused us a huge amount of stress. Oneflare claims to provide connections to independently verified trade businesses, "connecting you to the right experts first time and every time". In our experience nothing could be further from the truth. Our landscaping contractor in Canberra, hired through Oneflare, was a scammer and a thief, possessing zero qualifications. We have reported him to Oneflare but he is still listed on the website. The landscaper is even using a false/unregistered name - so much for Oneflare's "verification". We have lost thousands of dollars in stolen deposit money. The Oneflare "Customer Happiness Team" doesn't even try to help. No care and no responsibility!

Within 30 minutes of the advert being submitted I had three replies by way of two telephone calls and a text message. Each introduced their business and enquired how they could assist.
I arranged for the two telephone contacts to meet me on site to review the works required. Both businesses turned up 'on time' and were very professional. I am waiting on their quotes which should be emailed this week. Great service.

OneFlare gave incredible support when posting my job as for a tax accountant. I was communicated with frequently and at no time were my questions unanswered. Top marks OneFlare! I will be using you again.

Needed an accountant for tax return (Honestly still do) but one who contacted me was impossible to get on the phone to arrange meeting, there was no real amount quoted and they were the only ones to respond. I posted again and got somebody wanting to do it via email for $250... Might just try the dodgy accountants down the road at this point

We started out with Oneflare early on and I think we paid $49 per month for 20 Leads. They have substantially increased their lead prices over the past 3 years where they have now asked us to pay an enormous $320 per month for the same 20 leads, even after telling us we could stay on our current plan ($159 per month for 20 leads) for as long as want. Most of the time leads never get answered or went nowhere. Complete waste of money, so understandably we cancelled our plan. Money hungry companies that don't give a toss about small businesses that made them successful in the first place

I have a pest control business, and have been on Oneflare for just over a year. Last year their platform was semi successful for me, as far as covering costs and trying to create repeat customers. This summer, so far has been a disaster. I haven't even recouped my increasing quote bid costs. Incase you didn't know, all businesses that submit a quote to you(up to six per job now) have to pay, in my industry, between $10 & &15 per job bid. This is how Oneflare generates income (as well as passing your data on). If I go out and perform a general pest treatment at a house that is both effective and legal, my costs will be around $110. I am now up against new operators charging $75. This cannot be effective or legal. Don't be sucked in by the cheapest option possible, in this industry, it can cause a lot more problems than it solves and lead to no end of legal issues.

I thought that paying for the privilege to quote was good if they were direct customers interested in my work. I never thought I would have so many unresponsive paid for quotes. What is the point if the client doesn't reply or book any of the three? If the customer doesn't hire anyone the fair process would be to refund us, I am sure it doesn't take much to have a small call centre team and IT department. I've gone back to Google Ads, at least I know who I am targeting.

Oneflare sells you phone numbers which cost from $6 plus. Then you have to try and win the Job. You end up under quoting and you make no money. Oneflare have doubled there prices 100% more then about one year ago! Who can do that and get away with it! My advise is build yourself a Website because you will spend a lot more using Oneflare.

I needed some concreting to be done. With OneFlare I had responses from the people interested in quoting and they showed up to measure and quote! That is simply NOT how my research was progressing up until then.

This site is great if you dont have time to go through and call people. I needed a clean done for our office in sydney, I stated exactly what I needed and within seconds I had people calling me with quotes. My job was completed in the week. Very happy

Be aware, the salespeople lying to you get you on a subscription, and you can cancel anytime. You are not. You would not able to cancel anything unless you give a 14 days note, which isn't easy to do as well, they not calling you back or answering emails.
Not happy at all, I didn't use any lead, just wasted my money.
Don't trust them.
