What the tree pro sees
Enough to price it without a site visit

Bidding is free. A pro pays commission only on work they actually win — 5% for the first 50 founding contractors, 8% after. Never a fee per lead.

How the fee works
Lead-generation sites bill you for every homeowner they introduce, whether or not you win the work. GivingStump charges nothing to bid and takes a commission only on work you complete: 5% for founding contractors, locked for three years, and 8% after that. Homeowners pay no platform fee.
