How to price your service

A good price is one you can keep and a customer can understand. Too low and the work wears you out. Too high, with no reviews yet, and people scroll past. Start from your real costs, then look at what similar listings charge.

Look at similar listings

Search for services close to yours. Note what is included, how long the session is, and whether travel is part of the price. A lower price that leaves out materials is not really lower.

Use those listings as a range, not a rule. Your experience, the area you cover, and what you bring with you can sit above or below the middle. Write the reason into your description so the price makes sense.

Count your time, travel and materials

Add up the time you actually spend. That includes preparation, the session itself, and packing up. If you travel to the customer, include the trip. If you bring materials, include what they cost you.

• Time on the job, plus a little setup and tidy-up.
• Travel, when you go to the customer.
• Materials you cannot reuse.
• A small buffer for the jobs that run long.

If the number feels too small once those pieces are in, the price is too low. Raise it before you publish, not after you are tired.

Remember what you keep

You keep 80% of every booking. Booqui keeps 20%. On a RM100 booking, you get RM80. Listing is free. Customers also pay a 5% service fee on top, so that fee is not taken out of your 80%.

Price the listing from the amount you want to keep. If you need RM80 in your pocket, the booking price is RM100, not RM80. After the service is complete, payouts go to your bank within 8 business days, often sooner. There is no minimum withdrawal, and withdrawals are whole amounts.

Use packages, then adjust

Packages reward people who want to commit to more than one session. A set of sessions can cost less per visit than booking one by one, while you still know the work is coming. Explain what each session includes and how long the package stays valid.

When you are new, a fair price is more useful than a high one. Early bookings lead to reviews, and only real bookings can leave a review. Once those reviews are in, you can raise the price to match the demand. Tell customers what changed if the offer itself changed, not only the number.

Be clear about what is included. Travel, extra time, and materials should not appear as a surprise at the end. A clear price is easier to book, and easier to repeat.
