Finding someone to fix a leaking pipe, deliver furniture, design a logo, or tutor your child usually means asking friends, scrolling through classifieds, or posting in a dozen group chats and hoping someone serious answers. Deal takes a different approach: you describe the task once, and providers come to you with offers.
This post explains what Deal is, how the marketplace works on both sides, and what you can expect during the current beta.
The short version
Deal is a task marketplace for Moldova. Clients post tasks — anything from plumbing work and freight transport to web development and event photography — and service providers place bids on the tasks they want to take. You compare the bids, chat with the providers directly, and pick the one that fits. Everything happens in one place: the task, the offers, and the conversation.
The platform is available in several languages, including English and Russian, and tasks can be tied to a specific city or region in Moldova, so a cleaning task in Chisinau reaches cleaners in Chisinau, not a generic international feed.
How it works if you need something done
1. Post a task
Describe what you need, pick a service category, set your location, and add a budget if you have one in mind. You can attach files — photos of the broken faucet, a sketch of the design you want, a floor plan. The clearer the task, the better the bids.
2. Receive and compare bids
Providers who work in that category see your task and respond with their price and terms. Each bid arrives inside a direct conversation, so you can immediately ask follow-up questions: When can you start? Does the price include materials? Have you done something like this before?
3. Check the provider's profile
Every provider on Deal has a public profile with a bio, the service categories and skills they cover, and a portfolio of past work. You are not choosing between anonymous phone numbers — you can see who you are dealing with before you commit.
4. Accept a bid and get it done
When you accept a bid, the task moves to in progress. The conversation stays open the whole time, and it does not disappear when the task is completed — if you want to hire the same person again next month, your chat history is right there.
How it works if you provide services
Any Deal account can also become a provider account. You create one provider profile, tag it with the categories you work in — the catalog covers nine major areas, from construction and auto services to education, beauty, pet care, and transportation, with hundreds of specific skills underneath — and add portfolio items that show your work.
From there, you browse open tasks filtered by your categories and location, and bid on the ones that fit. Your bid appears in a chat with the client, so you can clarify details, adjust your offer, and build enough trust to win the job. Over time, your profile and portfolio do more of the selling for you.
What makes Deal different from classifieds
Classifieds and social media groups put the burden on the person who needs help: you scroll listings, message people one by one, and repeat your story every time. Deal reverses the flow.
You describe the job once. Providers respond to your actual task, not to a vague inquiry.
Offers are comparable. Bids arrive against the same task description, so you can compare prices and terms side by side instead of reconstructing quotes from scattered conversations.
The context is preserved. Task details, attachments, bids, and messages live together. Nothing gets lost in a phone call you half-remember.
Profiles carry history. A provider's categories, skills, and portfolio are visible before you ever send a message.
There is also an AI assistant built into the app that can search tasks and providers for you — ask it to find open design tasks in your city or providers in a specific category, and it filters the marketplace on your behalf.
What does it cost?
Right now, nothing. Deal is in closed beta, and posting tasks, bidding, and messaging are free for everyone taking part. There is no card to enter and no plan to pick. Paid plans are still being worked out, and any changes will be announced in the changelog well before they affect anyone.
Beta also means the product is actively evolving. There is a public roadmap and a feedback board where you can propose ideas and vote on what should come next — feedback from early users directly shapes what gets built.
Who Deal is for
Households that need repairs, cleaning, moving, deliveries, or help around the home.
Small businesses that need a designer, a developer, a marketer, or a driver without running a formal hiring process.
Independent professionals and small crews who want a steady stream of local work without paying for ads or cold-messaging strangers.
If a job can be described in a paragraph and done by a skilled person nearby, it belongs on Deal.
Getting started
Create an account, and you can post your first task in a few minutes. If you offer services, set up your provider profile, pick your categories, and start browsing open tasks in your area. Both sides of the marketplace are free during the beta — the only thing you invest is a clear description of what you need or what you do.
