Yes — and always will be. SPAN's core features are free by design, not as a promotion. No subscription, no commission, no hidden fees.

SPAN is built for freelancers and microbusinesses — barbers, designers, plumbers, photographers, tutors, and anyone who works independently. Seekers (people looking to hire) are also welcome.

How do bookings work on SPAN?

Clients request a time through your profile. You receive a notification, confirm or suggest another time, and the booking is locked in. No back-and-forth on WhatsApp.

How do payments work on SPAN?

Payment is handled directly between you and the provider. You can pay in cash or by any method the provider accepts — SPAN does not process payments.

Do I need technical skills to use SPAN?

Not at all. You can set up your SPAN profile in under 5 minutes with no technical knowledge required.

Is SPAN available outside Lebanon?

SPAN is launching in Lebanon first. Expansion is planned — stay tuned.

How do I report a problem or abusive user on SPAN?

Use the Report button on any profile, post, or message directly in the app. Our moderation team reviews every report within 24 hours.
