Two sides of one platform
Vendor Hub connects working professionals with the vendors they hire — photographers, cleaners, stagers, contractors, and more. Members post quote requests; vendors bid; both sides message, schedule, and review through a single workflow. Vendor Hub charges subscriptions for the tools that make this faster than email-and-spreadsheets. We do not process payments between members and vendors — you pay vendors directly, however you usually pay them.
Choose your account type
Members are buyers — investors, property managers, designers, event planners, homeowners managing renovations. Pricing is Standard $18/mo, Pro $36/mo, Premium $79/mo, Premium Team $225/mo (up to 5 users), and Enterprise (custom). Vendors get three tiers: Free $0/mo (listed in the public directory with a cap of 5 marketplace wins per 30 days), Growth $39/mo (unlimited bids, featured placement, analytics), and Spotlight $129/mo (top-of-category placement plus SEO-indexed public profile and beta features).
Set up your profile
Members complete a short onboarding — name, ZIP, phone — and pick a plan. Vendors add their business name, categories, a short description, and a few photos. There's no bank-connection step; we don't move money between members and vendors.
Send your first quote request (members)
From your dashboard or the Quotes tab, click + New quote request. Pick a category, describe the job, attach photos if helpful, set a deadline, and choose Open (any matching vendor can bid) or Selected (invite specific vendors). Bids arrive in your Quotes tab; tap any to message, accept, or compare side-by-side.
Win your first job (vendors)
Open quote requests show up in your Inbox. Tap any to read the brief, ask clarifying questions in messages, and submit a firm bid (or a 'site visit needed' bid if you can't quote without seeing the property). When a member accepts your bid, the job moves into your active workflow. You and the member coordinate payment directly using whatever method you both prefer — invoice, Venmo, check, card through your own processor — Vendor Hub isn't part of the money flow.
