Trust and confidence

Good work deserves real trust.

Here’s what you can expect from SMOMO today, described as it actually works.

  • Portfolios you can browse

    Pros add photos of their work to their profile, so you can see their style before you get in touch.

  • Services and starting prices

    Profiles list the services a pro offers with indicative prices. A quote for your look arrives as an offer on your request.

  • Talk before you commit

    Chat with a pro about the details, the place and the time, before anything is agreed.

  • Pay your pro directly

    Payments go straight to your pro, by PayShap in South Africa, with deposits supported. SMOMO records the payment in the app; it doesn’t hold your money. Elsewhere, you agree the method in chat.

  • Account checks, described plainly

    Pros add an ID number (SA ID, passport or national ID) before they can accept bookings. We check that the number is valid in format. It is not a background check.

  • A way to raise a problem

    You can report a person or a booking from inside the app, and payment disputes are reviewed by the SMOMO team.

For the creators

Your craft deserves a bigger stage.

Your skills. Your portfolio. Your business. Connect with people looking for what you do.

  • Showcase your work
  • Present your services
  • Receive relevant enquiries
  • Connect with prospective clients
