Why Pocketa is free
Free for homeowners, transparent about how we earn
Pocketa is free to use because we may earn from participating suppliers, referral relationships or commissions when users buy through the platform or connect with selected partners.
Pocketa is in early build. This page explains the intended free user model and transparency principles.
You stay in control. Compare prices, buy elsewhere and add outside purchases to your project.
The simple version
Pocketa does not charge homeowners to create a project, generate a checklist or track purchases. The platform may earn money when participating suppliers receive sales, referrals or qualified enquiries through Pocketa.
Free for homeowners
There is no charge to create a project, shape a checklist or keep records in one place. That keeps the barrier low while you decide what you need next.
Supplier supported
Participating suppliers, referrals and commissions help fund the platform when they receive sales or qualified enquiries through Pocketa.
User choice protected
You can compare prices, buy elsewhere and still add outside purchases so your project record stays useful and honest to how you actually buy.
How Pocketa may earn
Different supplier relationships may work in different ways. The important point is that commercial relationships should be clear, and the user should still be free to choose what works for their project.
Commission on purchases
When you buy through Pocketa or a linked partner journey, Pocketa may earn a commission on that sale. The amount and terms sit with the partner and may vary.
Referral or enquiry fees
Some relationships may pay a fee when you request a quote, book a visit or connect with a supplier in a way that partner values. Details should be clear at the point you act.
Participating supplier relationships
Not every supplier works with Pocketa in the same way. Some may appear because of a commercial relationship, others because they are relevant to your checklist.
Future supplier tools
As the product grows, new tools for suppliers may create additional revenue streams. Homeowners should still see plain language about what is free and what is paid.
Buying elsewhere is part of the model
Renovation buying is often spread across retailers, showrooms, suppliers and conversations with trades. Pocketa is designed to remain useful even when a purchase happens outside the platform. You can add outside products, links, prices, delivery dates, notes and receipts to your project record.
What this means for users
No charge to start
Create a project and explore structure without paying a subscription fee upfront.
No need to buy everything through Pocketa
Spread buying across retailers and still keep receipts, notes and delivery details connected.
Clearer project records
Statuses and saved items help you see what is sorted and what still needs attention.
More useful supplier discovery
Connections can surface options that may suit your categories, without removing your right to compare elsewhere.
Useful sourcing, careful responsibility
Pocketa helps organise and source renovation items. Suppliers remain responsible for their own product information, prices, delivery details, service terms, returns and fulfilment where applicable. You should confirm measurements, suitability and specialist requirements with the right person before ordering or fitting.
