The price you see is the price you pay

Every provider sets their own rate and shows it on their profile. The total is confirmed to you before you confirm, and nothing is added at the moment of payment.

  • A price confirmed before you commit
  • In Swiss francs, VAT included
  • No service fee added at checkout

The rates shown here are the lowest actually offered in Geneva

From the rate shown to the amount charged

Four steps, and no nasty surprises in between.

  1. The provider sets their rate

    They show it on their profile, along with what it covers: equipment, products, travel. The “starting from” you see here is their lowest rate.

  2. You describe the job

    Area, duration, extras: whatever makes the price vary is asked before booking rather than discovered on the day.

  3. The total is confirmed to you

    You see the exact amount, in CHF and with VAT included, before confirming. Until you confirm, nothing is committed.

  4. You pay that amount

    It is held when you book, then released to the provider once the service is done. No service fee is added at checkout.

Where the money you pay goes

Swigo charges you no service fee: what we earn is already inside the price shown and comes out of the provider’s share. Here is the detail, so you can compare.

  • 3% Payment fees The cost of secure processing, which holds the funds until the service and then releases them to the provider.
  • No service fee added at checkout
  • No administration fee, no subscription
  • Prices in CHF, VAT included
  • The amount only reaches the provider once the service is done

Frequently asked questions, pricing

The final price, VAT, service fees: the questions that come up most often.

Is the price shown really the final price?

Yes. The total, VAT included, is confirmed to you before you confirm the booking, and no service, administration or platform fee is added at the moment of payment. Only one thing can change it: if the provider had to use more materials or more time than planned, they can add additional charges at the end of the job, once they have agreed it with you. Nothing is added without your agreement.

Do the prices include VAT?

Yes. Every price shown on Swigo is in Swiss francs and includes VAT where the provider is liable for it. There is nothing for you to calculate and no supplement to allow for.

Why “starting from” rather than a single price?

Because every provider sets their own rate, and because a job depends on the area, the duration and the extras. The “starting from” shown here is the lowest rate actually offered in Geneva for that service. The rate of the provider you choose is on their profile, and the total is confirmed to you before you commit.

What happens if the job takes longer than expected?

Nothing is charged without your agreement. If the provider sees on site that more time or more materials are needed, they tell you and you decide together: carry on, at the agreed rate, or stop there. Whatever you agree on is added at the end of the job, as additional charges.

When am I charged?

The amount is held at the moment of booking, then released to the provider once the service has been carried out. You never pay blind, and the provider knows they will be paid.

Are equipment and products included?

It depends on the provider: some come with their own equipment and products, others use yours and charge slightly less. The information is on every profile before booking, and the usual scope is set out on each service page.

Does Swigo take a commission on my payment?

Swigo takes 23% of the amount of the service, of which 3% is payment fees. That share comes out of what the provider earns, it is not added to your bill: the detail is further up this page.
