Frequently Asked Questions

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes, you can change your plan at any time. Changes take effect immediately, and we'll prorate any charges.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards through Stripe. Project milestone payments can also be made via bank transfer.

Is there a contract or commitment?

No long-term contracts. All plans are month-to-month and you can cancel anytime.

What currencies do you support?

We display estimated prices in EUR and several major African currencies (FCFA, Naira, Cedi, Shilling, Rand, Dirham…). Billing is processed in EUR.

What is the difference between the marketplace and the Espace Pro?

The marketplace connects diaspora clients with professionals: a platform commission applies to payouts (0% during the launch phase — temporary offer). The Espace Pro is your management software for YOUR own local clients: 0% commission permanently, you only pay the per-seat subscription.

How does the Espace Pro free trial work?

The Espace Pro (€9/seat/month) and Espace Business (€19/seat/month) plans include a 14-day free trial with no commitment. You can cancel anytime during the trial without being charged.

What is a “seat” in the Espace Pro?

A seat is one member of your team with access to the platform (site manager, foreman, accountant…). You choose the number of seats when subscribing and can adjust it anytime from your Billing page.

Can I cancel my Espace Pro subscription?

Yes, anytime from your Billing page (secure Stripe portal). Your access remains active until the end of the paid period — no data is ever deleted.

Guide & data

Understanding our pricing and what's included

Pricing — frequently asked questions

Are there hidden fees?
No. During the launch phase, the marketplace commission is 0%. Ancillary costs (cross-border banking, local taxes) are displayed upfront and paid to their rightful recipient.
Can I pay in euros or dollars and let the platform convert?
Yes — we automatically convert to FCFA, Cedi, Naira, Shilling or USD depending on the country, at the interbank rate + 0.4% (better than a classic wire transfer).
What is the difference between the Client and Investor plans?
The Client plan covers one project at a time with standard support. The Investor plan allows up to 5 parallel projects, a rental ROI dashboard, and mediation priority. See the full matrix above.
Is there a duration commitment?
None. You pay per milestone; if you pause the build, you pay nothing more to the platform (locked funds remain locked under standard OHADA contractual clauses).
What exactly does the mediation insurance cover?
Mediation costs (lawyer, building expert), up to €2,000 per dispute. Beyond that, OHADA / ELC arbitration is billed at the regulated rate shared between parties.
Can I cancel and get a refund?
Commissions collected on ALREADY-validated milestones are non-refundable (service rendered). Funds for a milestone that was not released are returned to you (usual bank processing time).

Going further

Our pricing reflects a transparent approach inspired by European fintechs rather than the opaque commissions of traditional construction. There are two ways to use DiasporaBuild. The Marketplace: find verified professionals for your project — joining is free and the marketplace commission is 0% during the launch phase. Espace Pro: the project-management software professionals use for their own clients — subscriptions from €9/seat/month, with a permanent 0% commission on their clients' payments. Add to that fund security: each tranche is locked in held and released only when the milestone is validated by you and confirmed by the photo + AI report. All fees are displayed in advance, with no hidden costs.
