Common questions

Does it cost anything?

No. Creating an account, matching and chatting are free. Premium only raises how many swaps you can run at once.

Do I need to be an expert?

No. If you're one step ahead of someone, you can teach them that step.

Where do swaps happen?

Wherever you agree — video call, chat, or in person if you're nearby.
