What does it cost to be part of the Lula Pro Network?

## No Upfront Cost to Join

There is **no cost to sign up** and no subscription or monthly fees. You can complete the application and begin receiving job opportunities without paying anything upfront.

## One-Time Background Check Fee

Lula requires all Pros to pass a background check. The background check fee is **one-time only** and is **not charged until after you complete your first job**. This allows you to start working with Lula before paying any out-of-pocket costs.

## Flat Percentage Fee on Completed Work

Lula charges a **flat percentage fee** on completed jobs. This fee is deducted from the final job amount and covers:

- Job scheduling and dispatch
- Customer communication and coordination
- Payment processing
- Access to the Lula Pro app and support team

There are **no per-lead fees, bidding costs, or hidden charges**. If you don’t complete a job, you don’t pay a fee.

## Avoidable Fees

In limited situations, small fees may apply for actions such as **canceling a job on the same day** or **failing to show up for a scheduled appointment**. These fees exist to protect customer experience and scheduling reliability and are **fully avoidable** by:

- Accepting only jobs you can commit to
- Communicating early if a schedule change is needed
- Arriving on time and completing accepted appointments

Lula is built to reward reliable Pros, and most contractors never incur these fees.
