What is Wecasa — and what is bop?
Wecasa is a booking platform from France, active in Vienna, Austria since 2025: households book cleaning there, you accept jobs, and Wecasa keeps a commission on every job. bop is not a booking platform — it is your back office: your own website, appointments, invoices, taxes, official letters — for a fixed monthly price, in your language. So the two compete less than it might seem — they answer different questions: "Where does my next job come from?" versus "How does my work become my own business?"

What is that commission really worth?
A booking platform earns from every job — permanently, even on the fiftieth appointment with the same regular customer. That is fair for matching you with new customers, but expensive for relationships that should really belong to you by now. Do the math yourself: with regular customers, the commission adds up month after month — a fixed monthly price, on the other hand, stays the same no matter how full your calendar is. The detailed breakdown: Platform or your own business?
And where do jobs come from without a platform?
- Through your own website with prices and contact details — anyone who finds you there books directly with you.
- Through your Google Business profile — so you show up when someone in your district searches for "cleaner".
- Through recommendations — every satisfied household tells others, and that recommendation belongs to you, not to an app.
The difference
Who is bop the right choice for?
For anyone who does not see cleaning as a casual side job, but as their own business: with their own prices (typically 24–30 €/hour in Vienna), their own customers, and no fear of paperwork. bop guides you through business registration[1] and SVS[2], writes your invoices, and explains official letters in your language.
