How Wosta works

Wosta connects customers with verified craftsmen. Posting is free. Craftsmen never pay a monthly subscription — 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.

Post a job

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 a subscription

When credits are on, buy a one-time pack to send offers. No monthly craftsman subscription.

Optional escrow

Where card payments are available, customers can pay into escrow by card — the money goes to the craftsman once the work is confirmed. 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 subscription?

No. Wosta never charges a craftsman subscription. Optional one-time credit packs only apply when offer credits are switched on.

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 an invoice for bank transfer or cash at any time. Where card payments are available, you can also pay into escrow — the job works either way.
