How Wosta works
Wosta connects customers with verified craftsmen. Posting is free. Craftsmen never pay a monthly Abo — optional one-time credits only when enabled.
For customers
Describe your job
Use the guided wizard, add photos, and keep your exact address private until you accept an offer.
Compare offers
Chat privately per craftsman, check ratings and trust badges, then hire the best fit.
Get it done safely
Track progress, confirm visits, pay by invoice or optional Stripe escrow, then leave a review.
For craftsmen
Get verified
Complete your profile, upload documents, and set your service radius.
Win nearby leads
Receive matches in your area, reply fast, and send clear quotes (templates help).
Deliver and get paid
Message the customer, share progress photos, invoice or receive escrow release — no subscription fee.
What makes Wosta different
Privacy-first leads
Street address stays hidden until an offer is accepted — competitors cannot see each other’s chats.
Credits, not Abo
When credits are on, buy a one-time pack to send offers. No monthly craftsman subscription.
Optional escrow
Card escrow via Stripe Connect when configured — soft-disabled until keys are set. Bank transfer invoices always work.
How it works FAQ
Is posting a job free?
Yes. Customers describe the job, compare offers, and hire at no platform fee.
Do craftsmen pay a monthly Abo?
No. Wosta never charges a craftsman subscription. Optional one-time credit packs apply only when ops enable offer credits.
When do craftsmen see my exact address?
Only after you accept an offer. Until then they see your area — and competing chats stay private.
How do payments work after hire?
Craftsmen can send bank or cash invoices anytime. Optional Stripe escrow soft-fails without keys — the job flow still works.
