Simple, and fair to both sides.
Browsing carer profiles is free. Contacting a carer uses a contact pass — a one-off payment, never a subscription. Nothing is charged yet — contact passes are not switched on. Carers keep 90% of what they charge — Care World's platform fee is 10%. Set £20 an hour and you receive £18. No fee is charged yet — carer charging is not switched on.
What Care World costs a carer.

- Your own profile, in your words
- Appear in family searches
- Set your own rates and availability
- Apply to families looking for support
- Message families you’ve applied to
- Business tools — invoices, expenses, mileage, tax export
- Profile insights — your own view and save counts
- Library certificates shown on your profile
Carers keep 90% of what they charge — Care World's platform fee is 10%. Set £20 an hour and you receive £18. No fee is charged yet — carer charging is not switched on. Search order is neutral — Care World does not rank carers. Carers can buy Library courses to build their training record; that is the only thing a carer ever pays Care World for.

Care summaries
Free — view the summaries shared with you; carers can post a basic summary. £1.99 each to send one, whenever you want it. Care Vault Pro includes 15 a month and the Vault Bundle includes 30.
Chronicus AI
Free — read-only summaries. The assistant is included with Care Vault Pro (up to 150 requests a month) and the Vault Bundle (up to 400). It is not sold on its own.
The fine print
Paying annually costs the same as twelve months. Carers on Care World are independent and self-employed; what families pay carers is agreed directly between them and never goes through Care World. Prices are shown without VAT because none is charged.
