How OutValue works
A fairer way to find and book home services. You set the budget, businesses compete on value.
Get the best value for your home service needs
Post your job with a budget
Describe what you need, set your budget, and choose your location. Smart guidance helps you set a fair and realistic budget based on similar completed jobs.
Your job is posted to verified businesses in your area. The postcode district is shared but your full address stays private until you accept an offer.
Compare value offers
Receive up to 5 competing offers from verified businesses. Each offer shows exactly what you get, not just a price.
Businesses cannot bid below your budget. They compete by offering more extras, better guarantees, or faster timelines. You choose based on value.
Pay securely into escrow
When you accept an offer, your payment is held securely by OutValue. The business receives it only after you approve the work.
Powered by Stripe, the world's leading payment processor. No card data ever touches our servers.
Approve and release payment
Review the completion report with photos and a checklist. Approve to release payment, or raise a dispute if something isn't right.
You have 48 hours to review. After that, payment releases automatically. If you raise a dispute, our mediation team reviews within 72 hours.
