Questions

What does it cost?

Nothing to join. Entering a brief costs NZ$49 (NZ$99 standard), paid once, after you have read it. If you win, one flat fee set by the budget band — never a percentage.

Success fee, paid only by the winning agency
Under $20k$300
$20k–$50k$600
$50k–$100k$1,200
$100k–$150k$2,000
Over $150k$3,000
Can the deadline move?

No. It is published with the brief — nobody gets an extension, and nobody submits after it.

Do I hear back if I lose?

Yes. Win or lose, in the buyer’s own words, with evidence drawn from your proposal.

What exactly is checked?
  • A real, checkable company. Verified against the New Zealand Business Number register or the Australian Business Register, with a genuine local operating presence.
  • Insurance that actually exists. A current professional indemnity and public liability certificate, checked by a person — and required before an agency can unlock a single brief.
  • A clean record, and a real portfolio. No fraud, impersonation or delivery-related suspensions, and evidence of genuine software delivery rather than a landing page.
