Frequently asked questions
What is Wasyet, and how is it different from other freelance platforms?
Wasyet is an Arabic-first freelance platform that connects clients with freelancers across the Arab world and the Gulf at 0% commission. The freelancer receives 100% of the project value, and the client never pays a markup caused by a commission. Each milestone is paid to Wasyet before work starts and released to the freelancer only after the client approves the delivery, and the two sides talk freely with no contact bans.
Does Wasyet take a commission from freelancers, and who pays the fee?
Commission on the freelancer is 0%, so they receive the full project value. There is a flat fee per project, shown before payment, paid by the client by default; the two sides can agree to deduct it from the freelancer instead. And because the commission is 0%, the freelancer has no reason to raise the price to cover it, as happens on platforms that take around 20%, so the client pays the real price.
How does Wasyet protect the client and the freelancer?
Each milestone is paid to Wasyet before work on it starts and released to the freelancer only after the client approves the delivery. So the client never pays everything up front, and the freelancer never works before the money is secured. If the delivery needs changes, the client asks for them before approving, while the money is still held. If the two sides can't agree, a support request is opened, and the Wasyet team reviews the project record and helps resolve it.
Can we talk directly or hold a meeting?
Yes. Communication is direct and unrestricted, and sharing a phone number or email is not a violation. You can start a Zoom meeting from inside the conversation with one click, or share another meeting link.
Can I work with my own client through Wasyet?
Yes, create a project on Wasyet and send your client the link; they pay through the platform, and the amount stays held until you deliver and it's approved. You get the same protection for work you found yourself, at 0% commission. Clients can invite a freelancer they already know the same way.
How do I get paid, in which currency, and does Wasyet work in my country?
After the delivery is approved, the amount moves to your balance, and you request a withdrawal from your earnings page. All amounts are in US dollars, in both Arabic and English. Wasyet is built for the whole Arab world, and the withdrawal options available depend on your country.
Does AI do the project?
No. Real freelancers do the work; AI only helps you write the project brief or job post. You describe what you need in your own words, it suggests a clear draft, and you review, edit and publish it. Then proposals arrive from freelancers, and you choose who does the work.
