“Great business tool, however not an honest system”

7/9/19

Oneflare helps me win more work. There are however some things i am not happy with, inhave used oneflare for a long time, back when it was still reletively new and fresh, the prices to quote were much more fair such at between 3 and 5 dollars per quote. They all sit at at around 7 to 8 dollars per quote now, also i have caught out oneflare many times now with feedback from customers that the 3 quote system is a big lie, you are not competing against two other quotes, oneflare simply open up the floodgates for anyone and everyone to quote so they make maximum money without consideration for you, i habe had customers tell me they have had 10-15 people quote them before i get the chance to quote them, sometimes i get a new notification that a job has been requested by a customer and then it turns out this person requested the job many hours ago and the job has already been filled causing me to spend 7-8 dollars for absolutely nothing, that could have gone towards my lunch for the day. Justifying things like this as a system glitch simply does not cut it as it has been happening for a long time and continues to happen. So yes i do win some work from oneflare however it is far from being a perfect and honest system and has become a much more greedy company since it started out.

Thank you

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the review Andrew and great to talk to you today.

I’m glad we got the opportunity to clarify how our quoting model works. Oneflare allows 3 business to quote on a job. The number of businesses who have quoted is displayed to inform you if you are the first, second or third business to quote and the time when the lead was posted. We do allow the job poster to request 3 more quotes, however, this is rarely the case and has only happened once in the last 12 months for your profession (the job you won).

Honesty and transparency are things we pride ourselves on at Oneflare and I'm glad I was able to demonstrate this for you. Your representation of the cost of leads for your industry and location is accurate. We use 150+ job attributes to select a fair price for each quote.

Remember to keep your app updated and to have notifications set to persistent. It’s an exciting period for your business and we look forward to continuing to work together as you grow.
