VERDICT

Should I use Oneflare?

Australian services marketplace connecting customers with local tradies (retired) - oneflare.com.au

Skip. Nobody should buy: Oneflare retired its brand on 30 June 2026 and oneflare.com.au now redirects to owner Airtasker. Australian tradies needing leads should evaluate Hipages, Airtasker, or ServiceTasker instead.

Confidence

High. Based on ~25 public sources; product retired 30 June 2026 and now redirects to Airtasker.
