Honest comparison

Mable vs Hireup

Two of the biggest platforms for finding NDIS support workers, compared side by side, and where an open directory like Supportd fits in.

NDIS marketplace

Mable

Mable is a large, established online marketplace that handles bookings, agreements, payments and insurance in one platform. Supportd is a directory, not a marketplace: it helps participants find providers, including ones not on any marketplace, then steps out of the way. Free for participants, with no commission on your supports.

Strengths
  • A large, well established network of independent support workers
  • Bookings, service agreements, payments and insurance handled inside one platform
  • A familiar brand that many participants and workers already use
  • Useful if you want the admin of engaging a worker taken care of for you
Pricing

Mable does not charge participants a separate fee. Instead, based on publicly available information, the platform is funded by a combined take rate of roughly 16.6% on the work booked through it, which effectively sits inside the rate. Always confirm current figures on Mable directly. Supportd charges participants nothing and takes no commission on your supports. Providers on Supportd pay a flat $49 or $99 a month with no per-booking or per-lead fees.

Support worker platform

Hireup

Hireup is an Australian platform where the support workers are employed by Hireup, so pay, insurance and screening are handled for you. Supportd is a directory: find registered, unregistered and independent providers, including ones not on any single platform, and contact them directly. Free for participants, with no commission.

Strengths
  • Support workers are employed by Hireup, so insurance, pay, superannuation and screening are taken care of
  • A polished app for finding, booking and managing support in one place
  • Strong safeguards and worker vetting built into the model
  • A good fit if you want the security and simplicity of an employer model
Pricing

Hireup does not charge participants a separate membership fee. As an employer-model platform, its costs are reflected in the hourly rate it charges, which differs from engaging an independent worker directly. Confirm current rates with Hireup. Supportd is free for participants, takes no commission, and providers pay a flat $49 or $99 a month.

The third option

Where Supportd is different from both

Whichever of these you are weighing up, Supportd is a different shape. It is an open directory, free for participants, that lists registered, unregistered and independent providers side by side. Enquiries go straight to the provider, we never take a commission from anyone, and availability is shown on every listing.

No commission, ever
We never take a cut of your NDIS plan. Providers pay a small flat listing fee, that is the whole model.
You keep the relationship
You contact providers directly and deal with them directly. Supportd steps out after the introduction.
The whole market
Registered, unregistered and independent providers in one place, with availability updated weekly.
