FAQ

Questions, answered

Yes, completely. Browsing, searching and posting a job all cost you nothing. You never pay Naborly a cent. Professionals pay a small fee to unlock your details, which is how we keep the lights on.

As a vendor, you load credits into your Naborly wallet, like buying airtime. When you see a job you want, you spend a few credits to unlock the customer's contact details. No subscription, no monthly fees.

If a number doesn't work or the job turns out to be fake, just report it from your unlocked leads and we'll refund those credits to your wallet. We take dodgy leads seriously.

After you register, we check your phone number and ask for a quick ID confirmation. Once that's done, a green verified badge appears on your profile so customers know they can trust you.

There's nothing to cancel, no contract, no subscription. Use Naborly when you want it. Any credits in your wallet stay yours until you use them.

About two minutes. All you really need is your phone number. Email is optional, and you can fill in your profile and service areas afterwards.

We're growing fast across South Africa, strongest in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban, with more suburbs joining every week. If your area is quiet today, hang tight, it's coming.

Between R25 and R45, depending on the service type. Bigger jobs cost a little more to unlock. You always see the exact price before you spend a single credit.

Still stuck? We're a WhatsApp away.
