Questions

Pricing, answered.

How much does Completo cost?
One flat 3.5% service fee, calculated on the total value of your project. Posting jobs and receiving bids are completely free. The 3.5% is shown in full before you fund a job, and it covers SafePay trust protection end to end.
Do contractors pay any fees?
No, nothing at all. Joining, building a profile and bidding are free, and there's zero commission on payouts. Contractors keep 100% of every rand they quote; the 3.5% service fee sits on top of the project value and is never deducted from their work.
What does SafePay protection actually cover?
Your full payment sits in an independent, FSCA-aligned trust account and is released in stages only as you approve the work. If a contractor disappears or the work isn't done to the agreed scope, your unreleased funds stay in the trust account: nothing moves without your approval, both sides agreeing, or a binding order.
Are the cost guide ranges accurate for my area?
They're researched 2026 ranges for South African homes, so they're a solid starting point. Your actual bids will reflect local rates, materials and the specifics of your job, and seeing them costs nothing.
