How can I tell whether the price in an offer is reasonable?
In short Compare several offers for the same work, check the indicative range and ask what the price includes. The cheapest offer doesn't always work out cheapest.
Your reference point is the indicative range shown for work from the catalogue. We built it from platform data, but it isn’t a price: each professional sets their own. Comparing several offers for the same work tells you the most.
How to read an offer
- Where you gave a quantity, the professional gives a rate per unit. The offer price is the rate times your quantity. Check that the quantity in your job is correct.
- An offer can have a date. After it, the offer expires.
- With each offer you see the verification level, whether the professional is an entrepreneur, and their reviews.
What to watch for
- A price well below the others: ask what it covers and whether materials are included.
- A price well above: sometimes that means better materials or an earlier date, sometimes not. Ask.
- A request to pay in advance for work whose scope you haven’t agreed yet. Don’t pay.
A small job? One contract with a professional is at least 300 zł. For cheaper work, a minimum call-out top-up charge is added, or you add another piece of work from the list. Offer not right for you? Reject it with the “Not for me” button; it has no consequences for the professional.
