Yes. Browsing, listing your skill, messaging and being found are free and always will be. Nearra Pro, at R99 a month, is the only thing on sale.

What do I actually get for R99 a month?

The verified tick on your listing, boosted placement in your area so you sit above free listings nearby, an instant alert the moment a neighbour asks for what you do, and the demand data behind who's searching near you. It unlocks in your account the moment payment clears.

Does Nearra take a cut of what I earn?

No. Hire someone you found here and you pay them directly, however the two of you agree. Nearra takes no commission, handles no booking, and is not a party to the job.

Is my exact address shown to anyone?

Never. Neighbours see roughly how far away you are and the area name you chose — never your street, never a pin on your house. Your contact details are only revealed to someone signed in who chooses to see them.

How do I know the people here are real?

Reviews. Anyone you've worked with can leave one — neighbours who message you through Nearra, and customers you invite with your review link. They're public, they can't be edited by the person they're about, and a profile with none is easy to spot.

Can I cancel or remove my listing?

Any time, from your settings, with no email required. Cancelling Pro leaves your free listing exactly where it was, and deleting your listing removes it from the board immediately.

Communities

Your estate or campus, with a board of its own.

A private Nearra for the people inside the gate — free for residents and students, sponsored by the office. The office creates its account and the subscription payment activates its board.

Nearra for Estates

Residents join with the estate's own code — see who does what inside the gate, and trade between neighbours who actually live there.

See the plan

Nearra for Universities

A campus board where every member proved a student email — tutors, textbooks and side hustles, student to student.
