Hipages cost calculator: what does hipages really cost you?
Use this hipages cost calculator to see what hipages costs you each month, per lead and per job you actually win. Pick your plan, enter the credits your leads cost in the app, and compare the result with owning your leads. No signup.
As of October 2026, hipages costs A$139 to A$649 a month + GST on its four main plans, which include 155 to 850 lead credits. Each lead costs credits that hipages sets and does not publish in dollars, and each lead goes to up to 3 businesses. Plans start on a 6-month term, then renew for 12 months.
Your plan, your leads, your real cost
$249 a month to win about 1.8 jobs, or 18% of a $800 job, before your own time quoting.
At the same win rate, an exclusive lead from your own Google Ads or Local SEO beats this result if it costs less than $35.57. Exclusive leads are not shared three ways, so the win rate can be higher too. Treat it as a target to test, not a promise.
Plan prices and credits are as hipages publishes them (+ GST). Every other figure is your input, modelled out. The defaults are examples, not hipages averages or survey data. hipages adjusts credit prices and plans over time, so your app and your key information email are the final word.

hipages leads vs leads you own
hipages does help: it gets the phone ringing for a business with no website or reviews yet, and it takes no commission on the job. Whether you can grow on it alone is a different question, covered in can you rely on hipages leads?
Common questions
How much does hipages cost per month?
As of October 2026, hipages publishes four main plans: Starter A$139, Advanced A$249, Premium A$449 and Platinum A$649 a month + GST, with 155, 310, 595 and 850 lead credits a month. Those prices went up in July 2026. You then spend credits to accept each lead, and buy top-up packs if you run out.
How much does one hipages lead cost?
hipages does not publish a dollar price per lead. Each lead shows a credit price in the app, and hipages says it moves with the trade, the suburb, the size of the job and demand. That is why this calculator asks you for the credits your own leads cost, rather than guessing.
Is there a contract with hipages?
Yes. hipages says subscriptions start on a 6-month introductory term and then renew on a 12-month term. Its tradie terms say that if you cancel outside the 7-day cooling-off period, it may charge an early termination fee equal to the fees left on the term. Check your own key information email for your exact terms.
How many tradies get the same hipages lead?
hipages says every lead is capped at 3 businesses. So on most leads you are quoting against up to two other businesses, which is why the win rate you enter matters more than the plan price.
Is this calculator biased towards Scalepoint?
The plan prices come from hipages, and every other number is yours. We think owning your leads beats renting them for a business that wants to grow, but the maths is shown in full so you can check it. Nothing here is a survey result or a guaranteed outcome.
