Wosta
Provider economics
We publish unit economics before take-rate changes. Customers stay free. Craftsmen never pay a monthly subscription.
Escrow platform fee today: 10%
No craftsman subscription
Unlike lead marketplaces with monthly fees, Wosta does not charge a subscription. Optional one-time credits only when they're switched on.
Transparent success fee
When card escrow is used via Stripe Connect, the platform fee is 10% of the escrowed amount. Bank invoices and cash mark-paid stay fee-free on-platform.
Optional offer credits
During launch, offers are often free. If credits are required, buy a one-time pack — unused credits stay on your wallet.
Optional escrow
Where card payments are available, customers can pay into escrow by card (released automatically after 48 hours if there's no dispute).
Year-2 take-rate path
Investor guidance points to a clearer 10–15% success-fee story once UAE unit economics are proven. We will update this page before any increase.
