In their own words
Websta
Websta is a local skills marketplace where service providers can create profiles, receive bookings, and collect payments. Entering a skill and city prompts its AI profile tool to generate a bio, layout, imagery, services, and booking page in about ten seconds. Providers can set hours, services, buffers, and deposits; Websta handles confirmations and reminders, and Stripe can take online booking payments. Websta says its local search understands service queries and places live profiles on a marketplace map. Profiles can show galleries, verified reviews, Instagram and TikTok links, and phone and email details. Public profiles can be translated into Estonian, English, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish, and Russian. The Free plan includes an AI-built profile, editing, multiple profile languages, and a draft that is not public yet; publishing is free in Estonia. Pro costs €4.99/mo and adds a live page, unlimited bookings, and marketplace discovery. A custom domain is optional at €0.69/month. Websta charges 1.49% on card payments made through the service, and accounts are limited to one website.
