Trade Off

Swap your skills, not your money. TradeOff is a dedicated skill-swapping app built in the UK. It connects you with real people who have the skills you need — and need the skills you have. A plumber fixes your boiler, you design their website. A tutor helps with maths, you walk their dog. No cash changes hands. Just skills, fairly exchanged. How Skill Swapping Works List what you can do — gardening, web design, tutoring, cooking, photography, home repairs, and more. Tell us what you'd love in return. Pick a specific skill or stay open to offers. Get matched with nearby skill traders. Our matching algorithm finds people whose skills fit what you need — and who need what you offer. Chat, agree terms, and swap services. It takes 60 seconds to post your first skill exchange listing. A Community You Can Trust Every TradeOff member is a subscriber. Every person is accountable. No throwaway accounts. No ghosting. No time-wasters. If someone lets you down, there are real consequences through our transparent discipline system. Warnings, suspensions, and bans keep the community safe. This is a trusted skill exchange where people follow through. Smart Skill Matching Our recommendation engine analyses your skills, what you need, your location, and your trade history to find your ideal swap partner. It works both ways — matching you with someone who wants what you offer at the same time. Local and Remote Service Exchange Set your radius from 1 to 50 miles. Discover traders in your neighbourhood or across the country. Remote services bypass the distance filter entirely. Your exact location stays private. Real-Time Chat with Trade Proposals Message trade partners, share photos, and negotiate terms in one conversation. Trade proposals appear as interactive cards you can accept, decline, or counter. Deliver completed work with photos and notes without leaving the chat. Full Trade Lifecycle Tracking Every trade is tracked from proposal to completion with a visual timeline. Submit your work, request changes, and see exactly where things stand at every stage. Verified Reviews and Reputation After every completed skill swap, both traders leave a review covering communication and quality of work. Reviews are moderated and displayed on profiles. Your reputation grows with every exchange. Fair Dispute Resolution If something goes wrong, file a case with evidence. The other party responds. Our team reviews everything and issues a ruling with clear reasoning sent to both sides. 8 Skill Categories Design, Tech, Business, Education, Home, Wellness, Food, and Everyday — covering everything from tutoring and web design to gardening and dog walking. Search by keyword, filter by distance and rating, sort by relevance or proximity. Privacy and Security Hide your email, location, or online status. Block any user. Download or delete your data at any time. Sign in with Google or Apple. Optional two-factor authentication. GDPR compliant and built in the UK. Who Is TradeOff For? Freelancers who'd rather barter skills than discount their rates. Young professionals with talent but tight budgets. Students offering tutoring, tech help, or creative skills. Homeowners who need help with odd jobs and can offer something in return. Small business owners cutting costs through service exchange. Community groups bringing local skill sharing to life.
