Looking at platform fees before I commit. Werkspot takes 10-15 percent depending on category. Thumbtack has pay-per-lead. AstraNL says 1 percent. What's the catch?

No catch — the business model is fundamentally different. Werkspot takes 10-15 percent from provider on each completed job PLUS lead fees, because their model is marketplace-with-manual-matching. Thumbtack charges per quote sent whether you win the job or not (5-35 EUR per quote), so providers burn money on losing bids. AstraNL charges ONLY 1 percent of the task value, taken at the moment of Stripe payment, split 80/10/10 between operations, Future Economy Pool and Humanity Support Fund. Stripe itself takes 1.4% + 0.25 EUR per transaction. So for a 300 EUR job: AstraNL 3 EUR + Stripe about 4.45 EUR = 7.45 EUR total overhead vs Werkspot 30-45 EUR. The math works because AstraNL uses AI agents for matching and escrow instead of sales teams.
