Put volume next to quality
Compare rating, how many reviews each trader has, and how recent they are — so a five-star profile with only a handful of reviews does not outshine one with a long, consistent track record.
Compare traders side by side
Line up ratings, reviews, sources and verified credentials so you can judge like for like.
Weigh two or three traders together, not one at a time.
Compare puts each trader's rating, how many reviews back it, the sources behind them, risk checks and contact options side by side — so you can judge your shortlist together instead of flipping between profiles.
Check where the proof comes from
See which review sites, credentials and records each trader appears on, and how many — so you can spot anyone who relies on a single platform.
Run checks before contact
Use the Cowboy Checker and each trader's business history to decide who is worth asking for a quote — before you pick up the phone.
Move from comparison to project
When the strongest options are claimed, create a workspace project so quote requests, evidence, and the final hiring decision stay together.
Check what matters before comparing price.
The best choice isn't just the cheapest quote. Look for enough reviews to trust the rating, reviews on more than one site so you're not relying on a single platform, and enough verified detail to know who'll actually stand behind the work.
- Start with at least one trader that has enough review volume to make the rating meaningful.
- Look for three or more independent source links before treating a profile as well corroborated.
- Treat a missing phone, a missing credential, or an inactive company as a warning sign until the trader explains it.
- Keep quote scope, deposit, guarantee, insurance, and availability terms together in one place.
- Use the full profile and Cowboy Checker when a trader wins on price but loses on public evidence depth.
