WERKARA
Why Werkara

Lower fee, more choice.

There are many ways to find everyday help or earn money on the side. Werkara is deliberately built differently from a classic brokerage portal: a low fee, no lead fees, prices agreed directly — and on both sides, people decide, not an algorithm.

The difference at a glance

How Werkara works compared with what is common on many portals and agencies.

Werkara Typical brokerage portals
Fee for clients None. Posting a task is free, and Werkara adds nothing to the price. Often a service fee or a mark-up on the hourly rate.
Fee for taskers 9 % of the task amount — only on a completed task, always shown before you commit. Often considerably more, or a fee per enquiry — even when no job comes of it.
Lead fees None. Nobody pays just to see a request. Common on quote portals: every enquiry costs, whatever the outcome.
Who decides You. You compare offers, profiles and reviews and choose the tasker yourself. Taskers choose their own tasks. Often the platform or agency assigns someone — you find out who later.
The price Agreed directly between you and the tasker. Taskers set their own rates. A fixed platform tariff, often with a margin.
Payment Directly to the tasker, in whatever way you agree. Through the platform, with a deduction.
What is possible Almost any everyday task on one platform — cleaning, assembly, moving, garden, pet care, tutoring. Usually one category per portal.
Trust Profiles with a public review after every task; taskers can add certificates, diplomas and other documents. You look at them and decide. Varies.
Languages and region German, French, Italian and English — all over Switzerland. Varies.

CHF 91is yours. No lead fees, no subscription, nothing for requests that lead nowhere.

For clients

Post for free

You describe the task; Werkara charges nothing for it — neither for posting nor on the price.

You choose

Taskers near you reply with a price and a profile. You compare reviews and completed tasks and decide.

Price agreed up front, directly

No surprises and no hidden fees: the price is fixed before work starts, and you pay it directly to the tasker.

Offers within minutes

Most tasks get their first offers within minutes — without filling in forms at five different providers.

Profiles you can check

Taskers show reviews, completed tasks and, if they choose, documents such as certificates or diplomas. Look at them and ask in the chat before you book.

One app for everything

Cleaning today, furniture assembly next week, tutoring for the kids — one account, one chat, one overview.

For taskers

Just 9 % — no lead fees

Werkara takes 9 % of the task amount, and only when a task is completed. Registering, your profile and sending offers cost nothing.

Your price

You name your rate and agree it directly with the client — no fixed tariffs, no hidden deductions.

Your tasks

You decide which requests you take, when and where — one task a month or ten a week.

Clients pay you directly

The money does not pass through the platform. You invoice or arrange payment in whatever way suits you both.

Reviews as your references

Every completed task brings a public review. Your profile becomes a list of references — no website, no advertising.

On the side or full-time

As an individual or a small business, in one category or several, all over Switzerland.

When Werkara is not the right choice

Werkara is built for everyday tasks. For some things there are better routes:

  • Nursing and medical care — that is what Spitex and specialist services are for.
  • Work that needs a permit, such as fixed electrical or gas installations — that belongs to a licensed company.
  • Large building projects like a full renovation — those need a general contractor with quotes and a contract.

Frequently asked questions

What does Werkara cost?

Nothing for clients: posting a task is free, and Werkara adds nothing to the price. Taskers pay 9 % of the task amount, only on a completed task and always shown before they commit. There are no lead fees.

Why is the fee lower than on many portals?

Werkara is a small Swiss company that relies on automation and AI rather than sales teams and selling leads. That keeps costs low — and the fee too.

Can I choose the tasker myself?

Yes. Taskers reply to your task with a price and a profile. You compare reviews, completed tasks and their replies in the chat, and decide yourself who gets the job.

How do I find a trustworthy tasker?

The profile shows reviews from earlier tasks, completed tasks and the documents the tasker has added — such as certificates or diplomas. Compare several offers, ask your questions in the chat and decide yourself who gets the job.

Is Werkara available all over Switzerland?

Yes, in German, French, Italian and English. In the larger cities new tasks appear every day; in rural areas it can take longer for taskers to reply.

Try it — nothing to lose.

Posting a task costs nothing. Neither does a tasker profile.
