# How much does Tegaria cost

> What's free and what's paid, for individuals and for agencies: the free first listing, the price of publishing, the professional like, the wallet and VAT.

## Free to start

Creating your account at app.tegaria.com, writing your listing or your search profile, browsing and receiving alerts costs nothing. Looking for a room is always free: liking, matching and chatting are never charged — neither to tenants nor to landlords. Instant alerts (likes, matches and messages) are free for everyone.

## If you're an individual

- **Your first listing is free.** Every account has one free publication. Your first published listing uses it and keeps that pass forever: you can hide it and publish it again without paying. The only thing the app will ask every 3 months is to tap "Reactivate for free" to keep it visible (at no cost).
- **Further listings cost €15 per publication** (+ VAT), with 3 months of visibility. They are paid with your wallet balance.
- Hiding a listing and publishing it again within its 3-month window costs nothing.

## If you're an agency or an agent

- **Your agency's showcase is free**: your agency listing, visible in your areas to attract clients. Signing up is free too: no fixed fee, no lock-in.
- **Each operational listing costs €15 per publication** (+ VAT), with 3 months of visibility — same as for an individual.
- **Contacting a lead (like)**: free today — "Launch promotion: likes do not use up balance right now", as the "Pricing" screen says. That screen always shows the current price.
- **Welcome bonus**: €5 of balance when you create your agency and €10 more when you verify your identity.
- **Courtesy margin**: so a charge never cuts a task short, your balance may go slightly negative; from there you need to top up to keep operating. The "Pricing" screen warns you before you get there.

## The live list: the "Pricing" screen

The current prices are always inside the app: tap the three-line icon (☰), top left, and choose "Pricing". You'll see both blocks (Individuals · Agents and agencies) and, before confirming any payment, the final amount with VAT included.

## The wallet and VAT

You top up the wallet by card from the "Top up wallet" screen — the path: ☰ → "Settings" → "Wallet" → "Top up" ([step by step](https://tegaria.com/en/help/top-up-your-wallet)) — choosing an amount of €15, €30 or €50. VAT (21%) is paid on the top-up: for example, topping up €15 of balance means a one-time payment of €18.15 (VAT included) — the screen shows it before you pay ("You'll receive €15 in balance · One-time payment: €18.15 (21% VAT included)"). Your wallet balance is already net: publishing a listing deducts exactly €15.

## Ambassadors

Signing up as an ambassador is free. The fee an ambassador agrees with their client is between the two of them: Tegaria doesn't process it and takes no commission.

## Refunds

Topped-up balance is meant for payments inside Tegaria and, as a general rule, is not refundable. If you believe your case is special (for example, a duplicate payment or an error), write to us via the app's "Help" button (bottom left) or at info@tegaria.com and we'll look into it.
