From enquiry to decision, without the back-and-forth
CostYa is not full job management, accounting software or final quoting. It is the front door: collect enough detail to know whether the job is worth your time.
Customer sends the job
They open your CostYa link, describe the work, answer focused follow-ups and add photos from their phone.
CostYa builds a range
The job is priced against your rates, area and known hassle factors so you get a budget range to sanity-check.
You decide in WhatsApp
Accept, adjust, decline or request a site visit from WhatsApp before you give up an evening or drive across town.
£29/month for active trades.
Try your first enquiries on the free plan. When the work is flowing, Pro gives you unlimited job triage for less than the cost of one wasted hour on the road.
Set up your intake linkWhat is CostYa?
CostYa is WhatsApp job-intake and price-triage software for UK tradespeople. Customers describe a job and add photos through your intake link, CostYa turns that into an indicative budget range, and you decide whether to keep, bin or visit, all from WhatsApp. The free plan covers your first enquiries and Pro is £29 a month for unlimited triage.
The front door, not the whole office
CostYa qualifies enquiries before they eat your time. Full job management and quoting suites take over once a job is already worth doing.

Frequently asked questions
- What is CostYa?
- CostYa is WhatsApp job-intake and price-triage software for UK tradespeople. Customers describe a job and add photos through your intake link, CostYa turns that into an indicative budget range, and you decide whether to keep, bin or visit, all from WhatsApp.
- How does CostYa price a job?
- It prices each job against your own rates, your service area and the known hassle factors for that type of work, then uses the customer photos to build an indicative budget range. You set the numbers, so the range reflects how you charge rather than a generic guess.
- Is a budget range a binding quote?
- No. A CostYa budget range is an indicative figure to help you triage enquiries, not a binding final quote. You still confirm the price yourself, after a site visit if the job warrants one.
- How much does CostYa cost?
- There is a free plan to try your first enquiries, and a Pro plan at £29 a month for unlimited job triage. See what dead quotes are costing you with the cost-of-quoting calculator before you decide.
- What trades is CostYa for?
- CostYa is built for UK sole traders and small trade companies, from plumbers and electricians to tilers, painters and landscapers. If you give out quotes and waste time on jobs you never win, it is for you.
- How is CostYa different from job-management or quoting software?
- CostYa is the front door, not the whole office. It handles customer intake and price triage so you can qualify enquiries fast, rather than full job management, accounting or final quoting. It does the deciding-whether-to-bother step those suites assume you have already done.
