Let’s explore how Free can provide you with a more cost-effective service experience.

The image below describes how Free and other popular platforms charge for services. In the image, the term “vendor” is used to refer to the service provider. The chart shows the amount of money you have to pay for the same service when using Free and other platforms.

It’s easy to see that you will pay less when using Free. Additionally, your vendor will also receive a more appropriate compensation, letting you decide.

In other platforms, the app will collect the entire amount you have to pay, then give a portion back to the vendor, with the rest being the platform fee. Most popular apps currently charge very high platform fees, cutting into the payments made to vendors. This is because these platforms incur significant costs for advertising and promotions initially, and later increase their platform fees to recoup the money spent on these activities.

Free operates in a completely different manner. You set your desired price, and choose the most reasonable quote from the vendors. You are free to negotiate the payment terms and timing with the chosen vendor. The only thing you have to pay Free is a fixed search fee at a super economical rate.

One final question you might ask: why is the app called “Free” when users have to pay a cost for search?

• The first reason: for vendors, Free does not charge any platform fees.
• The second reason: the search cost is Free’s only source of revenue; we do not run ads or sell your personal data.
• The final reason: the vendor might refund the search fee to you as a thank you after the service is completed, so in the end, you only pay the exact amount quoted for the service. That makes it “free”, right?

Thank you for your trust and for using Free.
