What if the services your business needs didn't require cash?

Every service you need has a cost. Bartersphere lets you pay with what you already have — your skills. No cash. No awkward favours. Just fair exchange.

How it works

How it works.

Sign up, list what you offer and what you need — we handle the rest. No cash changes hands. Ever.

01

Tell us who you are and what you do.

Your skill and what you're looking for in return.

Takes 2 minutes
02

You don't need a perfect match.

Credits mean you can earn from anyone in the network and spend on anyone else. Do work for whoever needs your skill — spend those credits on whatever your business needs most.

Earn from anyone. Spend on anyone.
03

Connect and sort out the details.

Once you're matched, you connect directly. Agree on what's needed, when it happens, and get to work.

Direct connection, no middleman
04

Do the work. Earn your credits.

When the job is done, both sides confirm it. Credits land in your account based on your rate and hours — ready to spend on whatever your business needs next.

Both sides confirm independently
05

Build your reputation in the network.

Every exchange ends with a review. The better your work, the more the network works for you.

The credit system

Fair exchange, not just equal time.

An hour of work isn't always worth the same thing — and Bartersphere doesn't pretend it is. Your credits are based on your real-world rate, so whatever you charge, the exchange reflects what your work is actually worth.

Your hourly rate Credits earned / hour
Under $75 / hr 1 credit
$76 – $150 / hr 2 credits
$151 – $225 / hr 3 credits
Over $225 / hr 4 credits

When you sign up, you declare your typical hourly rate. That sets your credit band — and that's how every exchange is calculated. Your rate is never shared with other members.

A real example

James — Electrician — $180/hr Credit rate: 3 credits / hour
James does 3 hrs of electrical work Earns 9 credits
📊
James spends 9 credits on bookkeeping 4.5 hrs with a $75/hr bookkeeper (1 credit/hr)
Both parties got fair market value No cash. No favours. No awkward math.

Earn from anyone. Spend on anyone.

Why Bartersphere

Three things that matter.

Before you sign up, here's what you should know about how Bartersphere works and why it works.

01

Fair.

Every exchange reflects what your work is actually worth — not just how long it took. Your credits are based on your real-world rate, so a tradesperson and a consultant can exchange with confidence that neither one is getting shortchanged.

02

Trusted.

Every member is verified. Every exchange is confirmed by both parties. Every review is real. Trust on Bartersphere isn't assumed — it's built one exchange at a time.

03

Growing.

The network gets more valuable the more people join. More members means more skills available, more of what your business needs within reach. The earlier you join, the more you help shape what it becomes.
