Indicative Pricing for Common Features
Pick what your marketplace needs. Common features are priced upfront — custom requirements quoted separately, transparently.
Prices are in Australian dollars and exclude GST. From is our starting price for the simplest version that still does the job properly. What moves it is how much of your marketplace the feature has to touch, and whether it changes the transaction process or involves Stripe directly. Items below $499 are add-ons to a larger engagement rather than standalone jobs; our minimum engagement is $500.

Price negotiation on one-off payments The customer asks for a quote, the provider makes an offer, and the customer accepts. Sharetribe ships this, so there is nothing to build — but it is a separate transaction process, and the payment it produces is not tied to availability. |
Included |
|
Price negotiation on your existing listings Negotiate the price on a listing you already have, with dates and availability respected. Sharetribe's built-in negotiation is a separate process that ends in a one-off payment, so it cannot hold a calendar. This runs inside your own booking or purchase listings instead. |
from $699 |

Reverse marketplace on one-off payments The customer posts what they want and providers make offers. Sharetribe ships this as an option on its negotiation process, so there is nothing to build — but again it is a separate flow, and it ends in a one-off payment with no availability or stock behind it. |
Included |
|
Reverse marketplace on your existing listings The customer posts what they want, providers send their own listing, and the customer books or buys it through your normal checkout. Built on the inquiry process rather than Sharetribe's negotiation, so availability, stock and anything you have already customised still apply. |
from $2,999 |
|
User Subscription Fees For example, buyers can search/browse only after paying a subscription, or providers can list in a category only after paying a subscription. |
from $2,999 |
|
Multi-currency marketplace Adds price search and sorting that understand currency, daily exchange rates, and customers browsing in their own currency. |
from $3,499 |

When a Custom Build May Suit You Better
Sharetribe is an excellent fit for launching and validating a marketplace quickly — with shared infrastructure, proven transaction flows and predictable hosting costs. However, certain product directions push past Sharetribe's design boundaries:
- Highly customised transaction logic that needs to override Sharetribe's built-in checkout flow
- Complex enterprise integrations with custom auth, ERP or compliance systems
- Non-marketplace products where you don't need provider–buyer matching
- Performance-critical workloads requiring full backend control
If your roadmap looks like one of these, a custom web application often becomes the more sustainable long-term choice. We can help you evaluate honestly — and recommend a custom build over Sharetribe when that's genuinely better for your business.
